Backstage at Luca Luca, we started with her closet: MYCLOSET.COM: What do you love about Luca Luca?

PNC: HE DOES BEAUTIFUL FEMININE DRESSES. HE MAKES A WOMAN FEEL PRETTY AND ELEGANT.

What are some things in your closet that you would never get rid of?

PNC: THERE ARE A FEW COCKTAIL DRESSES THAT I’VE HAD FOR FIVE TO EIGHT YEARS. I WOULD NEVER THROW THEM AWAY BECAUSE THEY ALWAYS WORK. THEY ARE DOLCE AND GABBANA. ACTUALLY, THEY ARE MY FAVORITES.

Were you walking in Dolce and Gabbana shows or modeling for them?

PNC: I WAS DOING SHOWS FOR VALENTINO, ARMANI, NOT FOR DOLCE. BUT THEY ARE BIG SUPPORTERS.

How would you describe your personal style?

PNC:I TRY TO MIX DESIGNER DRESSES WITH STREET FASHION, SOMETHING FROM THE FLEA MARKET. YOU CAN HAVE A BEAUTIFUL DESIGNER DRESS AND I COULD PUT ON A SCARF FROM THE MARKET OR ONE THAT MY GRANDMOTHER MADE, AND SOME FUNKY BOOTS. USUALLY WITH BOOTS AND HANDBAGS, IT’S BETTER TO GO WITH THE DESIGNER. YOU CAN DRESS IT DOWN WITH THE OTHER STUFF.

Who are some of your favorite shoe designers?

PNC: JIMMY CHOO, DEFINITELY. GIUSEPPE ZANOTTI.
FOR HANDBAGS STELLA MCCARTNEY AND CHLOE. THEY DO BEAUTIFUL STUFF.

What do you need to get rid of… from your closet?

PNC: OH GOD, THERE ARE LOADS I HAVE TO GET RID OF. I GET LOADS OF STUFF AND THEN IT JUST SITS THERE. THE ONE THING, IF I DIDN’T WEAR IT FOR TWO OR THREE YEARS, THEN THE FASHION SOMEHOW HITS ME, AND I START WEARING IT AFTER A COUPLE OF YEARS. SO IT PAYS TO KEEP IT REALLY.M M
