For their 40th Anniversary November issue, W payed tribute to the ultimate Original herself, Anna Piaggi. These images were captured this past July, one month before her death. I am a big fan of her quirky, courageous style. She was a true innovator. Scroll down for more of her images as well as other Originals in the industry.
