HIGHLIGHTIS OF 2009 : PART 2

How Does one describe an Anna Dello Russo encounter? I think Rupaul would put it best, “EXTRAVAGANZA ELEGANZA!!!”

Fashion month for me would not be complete without Anna Dello Russo. She is a fashion week of her own and her jaw dropping wardrobe is calculated sheer brilliance.
Averaging at three outfit changes per day during fashion month, she keeps the style Paparazzi busy on the edge of their feet anxiously waiting for the unveiling of her next ensemble. Dello Russo´s passion and undying love for fashion is inspirational and aspirational. Her presence easily transform a typical street setting into a glamourous photo shoot or even a film set. For me, every step she takes is a frame not worth missing.

Here is a recap of my top 3 Anna Dello Russo moments of 2009

06.21.09 9AM BOTTEGA VENETA MEN’S SHOW
I usually can never drag myself out of bed to catch a 9 AM show but this day I was going to make an effort and be on time in hopes that I could snap some good shots. I arrived on time despite getting lost initially and making it mostly on foot from the metro.
I waited patiently for some picture worthy looks. It was looking kind of bleak but then from the end of the street I see bright red cherry Lanvin. It’s 9 freaking AM and Anna Dello Russo is wearing a one shouldered LANVIN frock. The fashion Gods are smiling at me. I am on her like a hyena. Does she notice me documenting her every step? I didn’t care because it was solid blog gold. This was single handedly the best moment of Milan Men’s fashion week.

09.27.09 3:15PM MISSONI WOMEN’S SHOW
I thought I was late fot the Missoni show but luckily everyone was still running late from the Etro show and I had arrived just on time for the arrivals. The Milanese sky was clear and the sun was casting a nice golden haze over the festa del perdono. I wait patiently and then I see in the distance Anna walking side by side with her assistants. I, of course , document their every move as they make their way closer to the entrance but then I see they are not walking towards the door and they are making their way towards me. I am thinking at this point that this is the climatic moment of confrontation where they decide to tell me to stop photo stalking them. Anna pauses and says, “YOU ARE TOMM?” I reply shyly, “YES…” Anna smiles and says, “GOOOD WORK!” they walk away and I am left in shock with my jaw dropped down to the cobblestone.

10.02.09 6:30 PM LANVIN WOMEN’S SHOW
The show has just finished and everything is running behing like always.
Everyone is dashing out of the Halle Freyssinet venue and all the street style photographers are all lined up making way for cars to exit. I stand there with my fellow colleagues eyeing sharply the exiting crowd. Several black luxury sedans drive by but then one stops abruptly in front of us and the back seat window rolls down.
Anna wearing sunglasses pops her head out and waves, “CIAO TOMM!!!” I feel nothing but warm and tingly at this point.

I love her style and think she looks awesome most of the time. She does seem to wear a lot of runway looks though and doesn't mix it up very much.

According to this article posted (and translated! ) by Londoner13 awhile back,

Anna was born in 1962. So that's what, 47? To me, in a way she looks older than that but in another way she looks younger. Oh, I can't explain that!

Shes the same age as my mother... as much as i love my mother... oh how i wish... hahahaha
