"On matters of style, swim with the current, on matters of principle, stand like a rock."
-Thomas Jefferson
Vogue celebrated it's 90th birthday on October 1st this year, and the fashionable soiree was hosted by none other than its heralded french editor, Carine Roitfeld. The event took place at the eighteenth century private mansion on the rue de l'Universite, Hotel Pozzo di Borgo. Famous for its previous inhabitant, Karl Lagerfeld, the venue served to entertain over six hundred guests, and ultimately bore witness to a parade of the fashion elite. It was a spectacle of style, underscored by an Eyes Wide Shut motif.
Now, I know I'm a little late reporting on the event, considering that the immediacy of the internet allowed bloggers to post about it the night of, but I felt that I owed it to my blog to pay homage to the self-proclaimed Lady Gaga of fashion- Ms. Anna Dello Russo. Her custom designed Pucci gown was absolutely awe inspiring. Paired with a steel feather headdress by Gareth Pugh, there is no question as to who stole the show that night; and if there was an award to be given out for best dressed, it would have undoubtedly gone to her.
To take my Anna Dello Russo obsession a step further, I wanted to include some of the pictures that chronicle her fashion sensibilities throughout the duration of fashion month. How is it that a woman in her fourties can pull off a couture runway look better than a 19 year old model? The answer to that my friends is: two hours of yoga a day and a very regimented diet!

Okay, so I have to stop here a minute and pay tribute to my #1 favorite fashion blogger- Garance Dore. She is the impossibly adorable french fashion blogger sitting here next to Anna, and she and her fellow blogger boyfriend Scott Schuman of the The Sartorialist, are largely responsible for Anna Dello Russo's rise to internet fame. I read her blog religiously, as should you! She is a fashion photographer/illustrator and there is a pureness about her spirit that really comes through in her work. LOVE LOVE LOVE Garance!
