My words to describe her:

Anna Dello Russo has set a pretty huge reputation in the fashion world with her fearless bold special sense of taste ..

there’s never had been a fashion show or an event where she doesn’t steel the spotlights and everyone’s attention entirely..

she usually dresses like shes strait out of runways and editorials .. And sometimes changes her look during fashion weeks three times a day !

with her straightened long locks and her signature trade mark in accessorizing by statement jewelry and killer shoes ..perfectly styled from head to toe she manages to attract the photographers around her effortlessly..

talking in an interview  about her clothing choices she said that getting dressed and getting photographed is a part of her job and she has to keep her outfits -interesting and not boring- ..

I truly love her style because she seems like shes having major fun not taking fashion so seriously like her American Vogue  rival Anna Wintour  .. That shoes how much she loves her job and devotion ..

she once was asked if she work on her self as hard as she does on editorials ..and that is what she answered…

I get ready like six months beforehand. I edit the clothes (about 90 outfits for each fashion week) I think of what would look good on camera. It’s good to change and be full of surprises, even while staying true to your style… A variation of style; it’s exactly like working as a fashion editor, you need to keep the surprises coming or it gets boring. We need “new blood”; same style, different looks. But overall it’s a lot more fun; if only because you do not have to wait for the model to get ready…
