ANNA DELLO RUSSO



As fabulous as the clothes she wears, Anna Dello Russo is a name synonymous with high-end glitz, embellished accessories and quiet simply, over-the-top, bold fashion choices. Not one to quietly fade into the background, Anna is a centre-piece, a major attraction that could literally stop traffic.

Constantly dazzling in Balmain, Lanvin and Dolce and Gabbana, Anna is as confident as her outfits allude. Current Editor-at-Large for Vogue Nippon, Anna has been outstanding in her pioneering role for the magazine, making it one of the most influential editions to date.

Italian born and bred, Anna is an avid collector of couture and famously owns over 4000 pairs of shoes. She is bold, brave and uninhibited in her fashion choices, daring to wear outfits aspiring fashionistas half her age would not (note the see-through Dolce & Gabbana lace dress with red underwear ensemble). She is a fashion idol, so much so that Anna is also creative consultant for several high profile designers, although refusing to name her clientele.

Anna epitomises luxury and her pieces, be it jewellery or shoes, are always decadent and embellished. She self-professed that she is always in evening ware is often citied in dazzling cocktail rings, a killer stiletto, a bright pink trench or a smart gold shift dress. A bloggers dream, Anna is never seen in the same outfit twice.

As Helmut Lang so notoriously framed it, Anna is a ‘fashion maniac’ and as far as I’m concerned, this is one lady who is crazy cool.
