Giovanna Battaglia Engelbert (born 26 September 1979) is an Italian fashion editor, creative director, and global tastemaker known for her electrifying style and visionary approach to luxury. Beginning her career as a model for Dolce & Gabbana before transitioning into editorial roles at Vogue Italia and W, she quickly established herself as one of fashion’s most photographed and influential insiders. Now serving as the Global Creative Director of Swarovski, Battaglia Engelbert has brought her kaleidoscopic vision to the historic house—blending heritage craft with bold, avant-garde spectacle.

Her personal style is maximalism at its most intelligent: voluminous couture, sculptural silhouettes, vibrant colour palettes, and accessories that command attention. Naturally, her eyewear is nothing short of iconic. She gravitates toward oversized, architectural frames—think crystal-embellished cat-eyes, dramatic square lenses, and futuristic visors that blur the line between fashion and art. Often seen in custom or high-drama pieces from designers like Prada, Miu Miu, and, of course, Swarovski, Giovanna wears her sunglasses not as accessories, but as centrepieces. Whether front row in Paris or staging a Swarovski fantasia, her eyewear is pure theatre—dazzling, daring, and definitively chic.
