Anna Dello Russo

Anna Dello Russo



Anna Dello Russo is the editor-at-large and creative consultant for Vogue Japan. Dello Russo was born in Bari, and currently resides in Milan. She is a fashion icon and one of 'Italia's tastiest exports' (Binsider 2013).


She is self-described as a "passionate fashionista" and has been described by Helmut Newton as a "fashion maniac". Dello Russo is often featured in popular street style blogs The Sartorialist. She has gone on record to state that she owns over 4,000 pairs of shoes.


I pretty much adore anything she wears. She can't do wrong in my eyes and that's why I have to include the images of some of my favourite ADR looks.










Autumn / Winter 2013 Makeup Trends

These are the latest makeup trends to hit the runway and it just takes a whole lot of motivation, will and some precision to replicate them in the comfort of your own home.




Smokey eyes trend is always the winner and the grungy, punk look sported on the catwalks season after season is always IN. This makeup trend is most suitable at night and I recommend for it to be paired up with nude or light non visible lipstick to avoid looking overly done. One of my favourites for sure.





This look requires the use of the eyeliner with some major precision. Liquid or kohl eyeliners do wonders when it comes to this style. Personally, I prefer both, however the liquid eyeliner, if the hands are steady gives a more thinner, defined polished lines, while kohl eyeliners are great for smudging the colour in and more of a messy, cool look.




Earthy tones seem to be in fashion this season as they provide anyone with a natural low maintenance 'just go to shops' day looks. The brows are natural looking, and the eye makeup is non existent. The emphasis here is on the perfect skin. Concealer is strongly recommended here as it can highlight and emphasise the features and cover and even out any blemishes.






Think of Christina Ricci in the Addams Family movie. The emphasis here is on the perfect skin, serious blank stare, non existent or barely there eye makeup and dark hair.




Eyebrows can frame the face and bring out its' features. The emphasis this season is on natural looking, fuller eyebrows. If you have by any chance over-plucked your eyebrows over the years, or perhaps you were never born with naturally thicker pair, you can always fake it by filling your eyebrows in with pencils, painting them black or just letting them grow for a while. For a more instant look, and personal preference, eyebrow pencil is a must.
