Congrats, Gio! The Wedding of the Season Touches Down in Capri
“Apparently everybody’s going to Capri,” Buccellati designer and heiress Lucrezia Buccellati sighed at a lunch last week. She wasn’t wrong; the wedding of the season touched down on the Italian island for a non-stop affair just two days later. W contributing fashion editor Giovanna Battaglia married fiancé Oscar Engelbert, a Swedish real estate impresario, in a lavish ceremony Friday with attendees including socialites and It girls like Anna Dello Russo, Lauren Santo Domingo, and Sabine Getty. Here, a few of the #gioandoscar highlights rounded up.
