"Everything that has elegance and strength to it [inspires me], like the Italian women of the '40s and '50s, Greek mythology, a beautiful painting, the sea, the smell of Sicily, people with culture." Morena Russo

Morena says that one of her favorite things about fashion are the people who don’t let fashion rule their world. Despite living in the heart of fashion, both in New York and Milan, she is known among her friends as “the clean one” and is unphased by trends. She can easily party all night and LOVES to dance, but always dressed in one of her signature “less is more” uniforms. Morena emanates classic with a distinct worldly sensuality, and is always refined in one of her ’40s or ’50′s dresses and girlish pumps. Few things looks better, in my opinion, than an oversized white button-down shirt with french cuffs, and she gives it her passion for history touch with vintage earrings as cuff links. Morena believes that style is beyond what you wear, and she oozes with the traditions and sophistication of her European heritage, where comfort within your own skin is more common than not. She was born and grew up in Sicily, and recalls women being grounded, strong, and elegant as much inside themselves as outside. Her advice, “look in the mirror and take something off.”

    Her clothes float around her like Grecian robes but are as unassuming as beautiful curtains to the even more beautiful window to her soul. Natural but understatedly unique.
