Oh, Anna Dello Russo, how you never cease to entertain and inspire! Now that the Internet style icon and creative consultant for Vogue Japan has become a bonafide fashion plate, it was only a matter of time before a line of tees was created in her honor–and who better to ensure their authenticity than the statuesque editor herself? In celebration of Yoox.com’s 10th anniversary, Anna has helped design a series of 10 T-shirts–one for each year that the virtual boutique has been open. These items will include the top ten outfits she has worn to fashion shows, parties and social events throughout her career; which have all become legendary amongst fashion aficionados around the globe. The black and white tees, printed on Fruit of the Loom fabric, were developed quite organically based on an encounter Anna had with one of her fans, Lorenzo Oddo, who designed and wore the t-shirts dedicated to her.
“Why me?” asked Anna, surprised “and he answered by saying that the internet celebrates free fashion, spontaneous individuals; it’s a place where you can choose and do it alone. I found it brilliant!”
Exactly how hot are these shirts? By the time I finished writing this entry, I learned that they had already sold out. Thank goodness I had already clicked “send payment.”
$20 per shirt, available at www.yoox.com
