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.
Wow, this one was an eye opener!
HAHAHAHA! Cute
I love this woman
Extreme high fashion.. very inspiring!
Hmmm…I don’t know how to feel…so confused :/
Confusion is good! It challenges you.
Yes ur right. It’s funny cuz I go back and forth between wow that’s neat and I’m not sure how I feel about it. At the very least she has interesting outfits and purses!
And I bet she’s a fun gal to hang out with
THATS FOR SURE. Check out Carlotta Oddi — Its Anna’s assistant and her taste is impeccable.
Testament to the fact that fame and money do not guarantee good taste.
Taste is relative. I appreciate Anna for dressing in spite of people’s poor ability to understand individuality and with a sense of humor that those people lack.
“taste is relative” -thank you for that. I am not Martha but that is something I do need to work on remembering.
My Uncle Riley got an almost
new red GMC Canyon just by some parttime working online with a laptop. visit
their website Fiscalpost.COM
High fashion… Really. For a 10 year old
I think she’s very inspiring woman.
What an unbelievably manly and unattractive woman…
Unbelievably unnecessary comment.
Don’t agree at all with above 2 comments. She is very androgynous and that’s just a fact. Let’s not get all PC about someone’s appearance. It’s not a judgment, just a statement. Calm the farm people.
Oops – sorry Jery – just realised I was agreeing with you and not Amanda!
Actually I was agreeing with Amanda. Saying someone is androgynous is one thing. Saying someone is “unbelievably manly and unattractive” is just rude.
Thanks. Afterall, this is PurseBlog, not Perez Hilton.
Is that really necessary or pertinent to this discussion? Do you really feel like you have the right to judge this woman’s physical appearance? How about commenting on her outfits or bags instead?
She is on display at the functions, it is all very editorial and not meant to be mainstream fashion….She takes some very beautiful pieces and pares them with some comical ones and well, there she is!
Google is paying 80$ per hour! Work for few hours and have more time with
friends & family! On tuesday I got a great new Land Rover Range Rover from
having earned $4151 this last four weeks. Its the most-financialy rewarding I’ve
had. It sounds unbelievable but you wont forgive yourself if you don’t check it

I think her pop culture style is interesting, it’s probably influenced by Japanese Street Culture. It’s Quai (cute culture – think Hello Kitty on acid). So she looks like she’s having fun but it’s also business for her. Quai culture demands this sort of look.
Hi, I’m not quite sure what you mean by Quai culture, but I think what you meant to write was kawaii. Kawaii ??????means cute in Japanese. That aside, yes, I also think that she is playing around with Japanese street style aesthetics. ^ ^
Yes, you are correct.
She seems fun in a really nutty way, like what a live cartoon/caricature. Love, love the Miss Dolce woven and the Isis.
The dress style is a little hmmm for me, but the commentary of every picture made me laugh out loud a lot!
I love her. I’d never wear anything she wears though, but man, this woman has style and wears those clothes fiercely and with such attitude!
my classmate’s aunt makes $68 every hour on the
computer . She has been fired for 7 months but last month her paycheck was
$15495 just working on the computer for a few hours. visit the site Rex10.COM
my best friend’s mom got paid $14955 the previous week. she makes money on the internet and bought a $359800 condo. All she did was get fortunate and work up the guide exposed on this web page —
??????? M?A?X?43.???

She’s a hoot!!
I love her! And her bags! She is very inspiring and daring!
Good taste or not is very objective and personal. I think she has good taste. She isn’t afraid of trying bold colours, and I suspect she doesn’t care for others opinions! She is having fun and that’s coming from her true confidence.
She’s funny in several times! :-))))) and I think she knows that!
It seams to me more like a raincoat to fit her little Peekaboo .
She’s the epitome of FASHION! She’s a Fashion Icon for me! A living legend! I LOVE her!!
She strikes me as the real Miss Carrie Bradshaw
Very beautiful the look with the LV Lockit bag!
That’s her most natural , and normal, apparence , perhaps that’s why she so serious
Makes me want to take my luggage out and start super gluing stuff on it.
She’s so elegant in this white costume
And yet beeing so different as she loves to be most of the time.. :-)))))
She’s beautiful!
Ageless woman! Like just a few between us!
the bag behind the dolce and gabbana miss sicily mini bag is a croc mini faye bag by paula cademartori
This lady has the most fantastic style I’ve seen!..I wish I could wear some of the things she does with such panache…
What is the pink thing in her right hand in many of these pics?
I believe that’s the plastic bag dispenser on her dog lease
She knows the rule of fashion and power dressing so she can easily veer away from it. Those saying she’s a fashion victim – look at how she coordinates her clothes, clearly she’s in the know ie. print on print, scarves as a dress, men’s suits and vintage – only an icon knows how to to wear them those ways 🙂
I LOVE ADR!!
Pls wat is the name of the blue mirror aviator sunglasses she wore with the white valextra Isis bag and in the next pix below it with a dolce and gabbana bag?

Puhleeze. At least the late Diana Vreeland knows that she is ugly and dresses for the lack of it. This woman looks like she thinks she is the belle of the ball. Nevertheless I agree, she endorses Fierce fashion. Love her for it but she is ugly.

The other bag is from Paula Cademartori
Definitely she’s so such fashionista
trying too hard tho..
what a hideous person trying 2 act as if she is 23 wen she’s 52….
She once said on an interview that she’s the Lady Gaga of fashion. True enough!
