campaign than one of social media’s
most renowned It girls? Teaming up with
Kendall Jenner for their fall 2017 campaign,
the luxury jewellery brand Ippolita zooms in
on youthful-chic, style. The New York based
designer Ippolita Rostagno’s craft is

you’ve studied in Moscow, worked in
Stuttgart, as well as in Perth for the West
Australian, and recently, in Mulhouse for the
Rhin National Ballet. You seem to have never
been scared of trying out new things or
working in new places? I’ve always
been very brave! I’ve never stepped
down due to fear, that’s a blessing I
have. For me, it was important to understand
situations in order to better deal with them
later. What worries me is deviating towards
the unknown. I have ne
