Anna Dello Russo Fall 2013 Fashion Week

Anna Dello Russo

Fall 2013 Fashion Week Style Diary



There are those who play it safe and there are those who play with fire...and in the world of high fashion, Anna Dello Russo holds all the matches. The Vogue Japan editor knows how to make a bold statement with her larger-than-life style, wearing haute-off-the-runway pieces as simply as most of us would a pair of skinny jeans. Even at 50, she outstyles most fashionistas half her age with her eye-catching ensembles and impressive figure.

A paparazzi darling, style maven, creative consultant, trend-starter and blogger icon, Anna's eccentric outfits and flamboyant accessories set her apart from the rest of the fashion pack. She always keeps us guessing as to what she will come up with next, experimenting with the outlandish & avant-garde. Although not everyone's cup of fashion tea, Anna has to be admired for her brazen approach towards clothes, never afraid to take risks. Her insatiable passion for this material art always shines through in whatever she wears (however eccentric it may be).

These are some of Anna's most interesting looks from this past Fall 2013 Fashion Week season.

Anna wears a black and white animal print sweater and skirt set from Givenchy's Pre-Fall 2013 collection, pairing it over trim white pants and oxford shoes. Matching monotone bag and a beanie complete her look.

Combining two separate looks from Prada's SS13 runway, Anna dresses up in a petal pink fur coat & chic pencil dress with floral motif. I wonder if the geisha sandals & socks will catch on?

Possibly the most subdued I've ever seen Anna, she looks elegant in two sophisticated suits by Saint Laurent, fitted with flattering cigarette pants, tailored tuxedo blazers and wide-brimmed fedora hats. I love this take on the menswear trend.

Snapped out on the streets of Milan, Anna is decked in a grey and ivory tweed coat by Burberry Prorsum, with a fur Miu Miu stole and Alaia boots.

One of her most favored labels has to be Fendi, as she is always wrapped in an extravagant fur coat by the Italian brand. She wears two theatrical looks straight off the Fall 2013 runway. The woman does love her fur...I wonder if Peta knows about this?

Taking on the beauty of the baroque trend, Anna braves the snow in a lavishly embroidered gold and black coat by Dolce & Gabbana. Gold capped YSL boots complete her look.

Another of Anna's brand favorites is Prada, she makes a lasting impression on New York Fashion Week in a red and white flower print fur coat, clasped by a metallic belt. White tights and Japanese inspired geta sandals style her gutsy look. She was also spotted in a lush black flower motif sweater and bag by the Italian label.

Stepping out in top-to-toe prints during Paris Fashion Week, Anna suits up in a 60's wallpaper print blazer and trousers by Miu Miu. Not to be outdone by the runway look, Anna adds a yellow blouse, bright blue bag and chunky mustard boots.

Never one to shy away from bright colours, Anna colours up a cold day in Milan with a vibrant orange DSquared2 trench coat & mammoth fur Marc Jacobs hat. Right: At the Stella McCartney runway show, Anna showed her support for the designer in a chic leopard print coat.

Anna glosses up in a metallic gold foil coat by No.21, which was presented just last week at their Fall 2013 runway show. Talk about having contacts. Her urbane chic styling includes a white fedora, Chanel clutch and rubbery soled shoes by Celine.

Keeping up with the checkered trend, Anna wears a green and white look from Louis Vuitton's Spring 2013 collection, whimsically styled with white tights and a bow headband. Right: During Paris Fashion Week, Anna displayed her love for Chanel in a decadent white ruffled dress from their Resort 2013 range, which she styled with black gloves and the same headband bow.

Picking a kaleidoscopic fur coat from Fendi's Resort 2013 range, Anna jazzes up the streets of New York Fashion Week. All white accessories and tights complete her adventurous outfit.
