When Frida met Madonna

This week’s Io Donna – supplement of Italian daily newspaper Corriere della Sera – features an article about Gucci’s creative director Frida Giannini, who co-hosted with Madonna the celebrity-studded event on the lawns of the United Nations to aid Raising Malawi and Unicef.

Frida briefly mentions how was meeting Madonna for the first time – and here’s what she had to say about being starstruck by the Queen of Pop.

“Meeting Madonna for the very first time was a shock. She was a myth to me. She was the first poster I hung on my room’s wall when I was 14. And then I found herself in front of me, shook her hand. Her immense mediatic power still impresses me. Only to mention that the laminated jacket we made in twelve different versions for her last tour ended up being one of the season’s best-sellers would be enough”.
