Anna Dello Russo’s style mantra is simple. ‘My mother used to say I looked like a Christmas tree; I would wear everything at the same time. I still do. I’m a maximalist.’ Featured as often on the pages of Vogue, The Sartorialist and Garance Doré as the models she shoots for the magazine of which she is fashion director (Vogue Japan, as if you didn’t know), the editor, icon and all-round fashion plate is perhaps the most colourful character in fashion today.

 

Part of Anna’s appeal lies in the fact that she regularly gets her hands on the latest collections. From the craziest of hats to the most eye-catching of dresses she acts as a mannequin for designers to show off their most up-to-date - and most daring - creations.
