Isabella Rosellini's Fashion Profile
Her fashion style: eternally elegant and in
touch with her own individuality.
Isabella Rossellini, born on 18 June 1952, 18:30 in
Rome, Italy, one of twin daughters of the famous movie star, Ingrid
Bergman and the Italian film director, Roberto Rossellini, cannot fail
to possess a natural elegance and style that gives her a sense of grace
and beauty whatever she chooses to wear, no matter how casual or
sophisticated.
Isabella has become very famous in her own right,
first as a model with Vogue, then as an actress and, perhaps most
famously, as the face of Lancome for twelve years, between the ages of
28 and 40 until the cosmetics giant decided to let her go in favour of a
“younger model”. Undaunted,
she set up her own cosmetics line under the aegis of Coty promoting
strongly her belief that women should use cosmetics and clothes to
enhance their own individuality and to bring out the best in themselves
and for themselves.
She possesses the same irresistible “Venusian”
looks and charm that were the trademark of her mother, Ingrid Bergman
and both mother and daughter have the Sun in their charts very closely
placed to the planet Venus: Isabella’s Sun and Venus are within two
degrees of each other in Gemini and her mother’s Sun and Venus are
with four degrees of each other in Virgo – both signs of the Zodiac
that are associated with youthfulness and an eternal “childlike
quality”. However, where
Isabella’s mother was a focus for beauty and became a symbol of it
(Sun and Venus in the first house), Isabella is more involved with
bringing out beauty in others (Sun and Venus in the 7th
house). (Although they have
very similar birth charts, Isabella’s twin sister, Isotta, became an
academic and teacher of Italian literature and this may be indicated,
astrologically, by Isotta’s career point being much closer to the more
serious natured planet, Saturn).
Isabella, with her Sagittarian ascendant, will not
be bound by fashion trends. She
will take what she wants from them and from any place and any culture
and put them together on her own terms.
If you don’t like it, that’s your affair.
She won’t stop to worry about it.
Although she has the Venus ruled and appearance conscious sign of
Libra on her 10th house of career and public image, she has
the planet of realism and common sense, Saturn, prominently placed
there, also. She is used to
dealing with challenges and changes of fortune but this astrological
factor also tells us something about her approach to life and the
overall impact that she makes. If
it’s worth having then it’s worth working for, in order to get it –
and her image and style very much reflect that philosophy.
Her overall style is described as “bright and
breezy” but also tells us that she seeks “attractive, harmonious
lines" and, in her personal life, particularly enjoys clothes that are
casual, adaptable and comfortable in soft, natural fabrics and
communicate that she is both sensual and approachable.
Her astro fashion profile indicates that she has a
very broad colour palette: red and lemon mixes, blues, pinks, red and
white mix, multicolours, but also dark colours, charcoal grey, black or
dark brown. Red is
emphasised so is a particularly stunning choice for her.
Her fantasy images – the sort of image that the
public might pick up on and find most stunning are the Shepherdess or
the Handmaiden of Bacchus”, and “Diana the Moon goddess or
Benefactress”. So, these
images used by her to promote her own personal lines should have a
terrific impact on her buying public.
In 2003, joint ventures that involve wide scale
publicity can bring some stress as Isabella is a woman who knows what
she wants and her plans may not suit her partner’s.
In particular, this year, where setting trends in fashion are
concerned, she may have to curb the extent to which she wishes to be
unusual, different and, to some extent, shocking in her promotional
approach regarding the needs of others.
Partnerships may become volatile under the tension! Nevertheless,
the overall effect for 2003 should certainly be an attention-getter.
