Hello I have a sweater with a Contessa Visconti Label - Modello Couture - Made in Italy. Does anyone know if this is the same person as Simonetta (who was also, at one time Contessa Visconti). I'm just a little puzzled because of dates and other labels (on VFG) I'd appreciate any information or direction on where to start looking! Thanks!!
Do you have a picture of the garment itself? Whether this is the same person as Simonetta... I *think* it's the same as Contessa Simonetta Visconti who was part of the 50s Italian 'new look' era.
Thanks Cindy That's what I was thinking but the cardigan - while nice - doesn't seem to be in her usual style (that I could find) and I couldn't see anything with this specific label. Attaching a picture!
Thanks Cin! (Sorry about the Cindy - I turned around the b) I think you're right about the sweater being early -mid '60s. Hoping I can confirm it's Simonetta!! Thanks for responding!
Try googling just this: Contessa Visconti Label - Modello Couture - Made in Italy There are two entries of interest, I think.
That was my first search - definitely interesting finds. Found out a lot about Simonetta that I didn't know. Thanks for your help Cin! Janie
