Ginevra Fornaro and Teya Dardha Introduce Tastefully Dressed, A Fresh Take on Fashion and Food in London
Where Style Meets the City’s Most Stylish Tables
Ginevra Fornaro’s Tastefully Dressed redefines London’s dining scene by blending food and fashion. This magazine guides readers on where to eat—and what to wear when they get there.
LONDON — There’s a fresh face on London’s cultural scene, and it’s already turning heads. Tastefully Dressed, a bold new magazine founded by young entrepreneurs Teya Dardha and Ginevra Fornaro, has officially launched its debut issue—promising readers a uniquely curated experience where fine dining meets impeccable style.
We attended the magazine’s launch party in London and had the chance to explore the first issue in depth. What we discovered is something far more ambitious than another glossy guide to trendy restaurants. It’s a statement.
At the heart of Tastefully Dressed is a powerful, refreshingly honest concept: the mood of a restaurant isn’t just set by its menu—it’s defined by the people in the room, and more importantly, what they’re wearing.
“I know what you’re thinking: Ugh, another London food guide! Like when someone launches yet another podcast,” Ginevra Fornaro joked with a knowing smile at the launch. “But hear me out—this one’s different. I have a secret ingredient: clothes.”
Fornaro is a visionary voice, blending aesthetic insight with cultural savvy to create a magazine that’s both elegant and original.
More than a dining directory, Tastefully Dressed acts as a sartorial compass for Londoners navigating the city’s bustling culinary landscape. Whether you’re dressing for a girls’ night out, a high-stakes power lunch, or a romantic dinner, this magazine helps you flip the script: choose your outfit first, then find the restaurant to match.
Each page in the magazine is brimming with candid, unstaged photography captured by Fornaro herself. The images highlight real diners—stylish, effortless, and very much in the moment. “Whether simple or statement, each outfit contributed to the atmosphere,” Fornaro explained. “I admired every single one since they earned a place in the room, and in the camera.”
With contributions from a tight-knit creative team—Teya Dardha, Katie Wilson, Suraj Solanki, Erin Howe, and Samuel Reynolds—the project is clearly a labor of love. Fornaro also credits her mentors and an extended circle of family and friends whose encouragement helped bring the vision to life.
In her closing note, co-founder Dardha writes, “Where to eat, and what to wear. I hope you enjoyed reading this as much as I loved exploring, photographing, learning, and creating it.”
Tastefully Dressed is available in print, online, and across social media platforms. As it sets out to redefine lifestyle publishing in London, it does so with elegance, edge, and an undeniable sense of style.
