Madrelingua: Anna, ti amo!

the inimitable Anna Dello Russo

"Everyone has a strength. The English people sell very well because their editorial style is a little avant-garde; they are always the first at looking for new ideas. We Italians, have a very beautiful product that no one can beat, for quality, efficiency and tradition. The French people have that allure; in Paris you can feel a fantastic glamour at each show. The Americans have the money and the power, can you ask for more?" -ADR


Certo, parlo della editrice statuaria e aristocratica di Vogue Nippon. Come la tua narratrice humile, ADR è di origine Pugliese, pure ha fatto il Master's nella letteratura e la storia dell'arte (faceva il professore Gianfranco Ferrè). Si definisce come "collezionista" della moda alta. ADR anche fa la musa per i bloggers The Sartorialist, Garance Doré, ed al. Insomma, la sua presenza intensa e il suo corraggio con i colori e le trame la mettono al di là della folla esasperante della moda.


Of course I'm talking about Anna Dello Russo, the statuesque and aristocratic editrix of Vogue Nippon. Like your humble narrator, ADR is of Apulian origin, and even received a Master's in Literature and Art History( Gianfranco Ferre was her professor). She describes herself as a "collector" of haute couture. Dello Russo is also the muse for bloggers the Sartorialist, Garance Doré, et al. In this aspect, her intense presence and fearlessness when it comes to mixing colors and textures place her far beyond fashion's madding crowd.
