H&M is proud to announce
a special collaboration with fashion icon and legendary
fashion director,
Anna Dello Russo.
An idol of the blogosphere, whose flamboyant outfits are
endlessly documented by style photographers and broadcasted
globally on the internet, Anna Dello Russo has once again
demonstrated her unique sense of style by creating a special
collection of accessories exclusively for H&M. Unabashedly
glamorous, precious and playful, the range is an expression
of Dello Russo's taste for ornamentation. The collection
will be available starting October 4th –the peak
of the global Fashion Week tour – in approximately 140 stores
worldwide and online. Dello Russo's line will feature jewelry,
sunglasses, shoes, bags and trolley- all designed so H&M
customers can acquire unique style at an affordable price.
"I am excited by this
collaboration. For the first time
H&M is working with a Fashion Director on a special
project. This is the sign of an important evolution in fashion,
and I am both thrilled and humbled to be the one chosen
to lead this project. I wanted to create precious accessories
that are impossible to find. As a stylist, I know accessorization
is essential; it is the personal touch in any outfit. With
these pieces, everybody can have fun, and turn an ordinary
day into a fantastic fashion day", says Anna Dello Russo.
"It's been extremely
exciting to involve Anna Dello Russo in this project, something
completely different from what we have done before. Anna
has a fantastic eye and bold taste, apart from being a veritable
fashion icon. She has produced an extravagant range of accessories
that will thrill H&M customers and fashion enthusiasts
everywhere. The collection is a celebration of excess, fantasy
and decoration," says Margareta van den Bosch, Creative
Advisor at H&M.
Famously described by
photographer Helmut Newton as a "fashion maniac", Anna Dello
Russo is one of contemporary fashion's driving forces. With
an unparalleled eye, she has shaped the way we view fashion
today – through her groundbreaking work at Vogue Italia,
where she served as a fashion editor for over twelve years
and worked with photographers such as Helmut Newton, Michel
Comte, and Walter Chin, and later as Editor-in-chief of
L'Uomo Vogue. Currently performing the roles of Fashion
Director at Large and Creative Consultant at Vogue Japan,
Dello Russo is a darling of the fashion bloggers, whom she
likes to delight with her extravagant ensembles and countless
changes of outfits during the world's Fashion Week events.
