I’m not even sure how to explain Anna Dello Russo. She’s a fashion luminary and Editor at Large for Vogue Nippon, but she’s also a street style caricature whose willingness to wear all of the most fabulous things, all at once, has helped change the way that everyone from high-ranking editors to budding bloggers conduct business. Love or her hate her, ADR is always worth looking at.
We’ve seen a lot of pictures of her this week while she attends the men’s shows in Milan, so now seemed like as good a time as any to delve into what Anna carries, both at work and on her personal time. Check out our findings below.
Let’s go ahead and set the tone for today early, shall we?
Charlotte Olympia Take Me Away Clutch
$1,427 via LUISAVIAROMA
Anna never met a heavily embellished takeout container she didn’t like.
Fendi Transparent Peekaboo Bag
Shop Fendi via Saks
ADR’s Fendi Peekaboo can’t just be a regular Peekaboo. It has to be a Peekaboo wearing a Peekaboo-print raincoat.
Stella McCartney Star Clutch
$785 via LUISAVIAROMA
It really says something about a person’s collection when a huge clutch with contrasting star insets seems relatively sedate.
Charlotte Olympia Bao Bao Clutch
$1,556 via LUISAVIAROMA
When you think about it, a panda clutch is sort of a logical choice when wearing oversized spots.
Valentino Small Rockstud Trapeze Tote
$1,995 via Net-a-Porter
When not at a fashion event, ADR actually dresses fairly normally, despite the fact that her sweatshirt of choice is Christopher Kane runway.
Anya Hindmarch Corn Flakes Imperial Clutch
$1,595 via Anya Hindmarch
A cocktail dress and a corn flake clutch.
Anya Hindmarch Smiley Hadlow Clutch
$1,150 via Anya Hindmarch
ADR might not be smiling, but her clutch is.
Saint Laurent Mini Bucket Bag
Shop Saint Laurent via Nordstrom
It’s hard to focus on Anna’s bag when her crotch is so close to exposure.
Yang Du Bear Clutch
Lately, ADR’s been all about super-literal, cutesy clutches.
Dolce & Gabbana Miss Sicily Mini Bag
Shop Dolce & Gabbana via MATCHESFASHION.COM
There are two bags here, but I can’t see enough of the second one to identify it. Looks fancy, though.
Bulgari Isabella Rosselini Bag
A perk of her job is that ADR has this gorgeous little bag in two colors.
Gucci Nouveau Fringe Python Shoulder Bag
$3,100 via Gucci
This disadvantage of ADR’s style is that sometimes her bag gets covered up by the other piles of clothes and accessories that she’s wearing.
Charlotte Olympia Gummi Bear Clutch
Shop Charlotte Olympia via Neiman Marcus
Prada Crocodile Bag
Shop Prada via Bergdorf Goodman
ADR has made a nice, cozy little home for her candy clutch inside of her matching Prada crocodile bag. How thoughtful of her.
Prada Crocodile Bag
The same croc Prada, sans bear inhabitant.
Saint Laurent Toy Duffel Bag
$1,390 via Barneys
One-shouldered, puffy-sleeved, sequined lip-print tops? All in a day’s work.
Fendi Fur Peekaboo Bag
Shop Fendi via MATCHESFASHION.COM
Accenting fur with more fur is one of ADR’s favorite hobbies.
Moschino Fast Food Quilted Bag
$1,265 via Saks
Jeremy Scott’s fast food-inspired first collection for Moschino has ADR written all over it and, in this photo, is quite literally all over ADR.
Fendi By The Way Bag
$1,700 via Net-a-Porter
This is as conservatively dressed as we’ll ever see Ms. Dello Russo.
Bulgari Isabella Rosselini Bag
Told you this one would come up again!
Valentino VaVaVoom Snakeskin Shoulder Bag
Shop Valentino via Neiman Marcus
It’s like Anna put the ears on at the end when she realized the outfit was otherwise totally normal, if expensive.
Givenchy Lucrezia Bag
$2,325 via Barneys
When ADR’s off duty, she’s still covered in Givenchy and Kenzo.
Fendi Fur Peekaboo Bag
Shop Fendi via Saks
Fur on fur, again with Fendi.
Fendi Be Baguette Bag
$2,550 via Nordstrom
A flat leather shoulder bag in a neutral color is pretty rare for Anna.
Dolce & Gabbana Mosaic Shoulder Bag
Shop Dolce & Gabbana via LUISAVIAROMA
And then it’s right back to matchy-matchy mosaics of religious iconography.
Paula Cademartori Faye Studded Bag
$1,028 via MATCHESFASHION.COM
As you might have noticed, ADR is serious about supporting her fellow Italians in fashion.
Paula Cademartori Faye Satchel
$1,028 via MATCHESFASHION.COM
I don’t even know what’s going on circa her head.
This is a relative rarity: a bag in ADR’s collection that has me stumped.
Dolce & Gabbana Miss Dolce Woven Bag
Shop Dolce & Gabbana via MATCHESFASHION.COM
This bag, on the other hand, is just about as Dolce as it gets.
Prada Flower Tote
Shop Prada via Bergdorf Goodman
ADR was really into this Japan-inspired Prada collection.
Prada Flower Clutch
Shop Prada via Bergdorf Goodman
Like, really into it.
Fendi Fur Peekaboo Bag
Shop Fendi via MATCHESFASHION.COM
ADR might love Fendi most of all, though.
Hermes Kelly Bag
A French bag is something of a departure from one of fashion’s proudest Italians.
Louis Vuitton Minaudiere Bijou Evening Clutch
When you’re being dressed by Louis Vuitton, you just go with it, I guess.
Valentino VaVaVoom Crocodile Shoulder Bag
Shop Valentino via Neiman Marcus
Exotic, pink Valentino is a pretty good way to make a return to Italy.
Anna Dello Russo x H&M Suitcases
If you forgot that ADR did a collaboration with H&M, we suggest you go take a fashion shower.
Valentino Lock Shoulder Bag
$2,245 via Forward by Elyse Walker
In my head, this is what ADR wears to take out the trash.
Proenza Schouler PS1 Pochette
$895 via Barneys
I’m not sure if that’s a shirt or a dress, but Anna has decided it’s a dress.
Gucci Python Jackie Shoulder Bag
$4,390 via Gucci
I wish we could see this bag better – I love Gucci python.
Valextra Isis Bag
$3,090 via Barneys
I wonder what’s in that shopping bag.
Dolce & Gabbana Woven Miss Dolce Bag
$1,606 via MyTheresa
I’ve been staring at this photo for a while, and I’m pretty sure that those are individual scarves instead of one whole dress.
Louis Vuitton Lockit Bag
It’s almost a relief to see ADR running errands like a mere mortal.
Bottega Veneta Knot Clutch
Shop Bottega Veneta via Net-a-Porter
She’s not a mortal, though. We promise.
