Anna Dello Russo Will Be Designing an Accessory Collection For H&M

H&M usually enlists designers for its collaboration collections, but this time the retailer is teaming with a fashion editor, Anna Dello Russo, to create a line of accessories.

H&M usually enlists designers for its collaboration collections, but this time the retailer is teaming with a fashion editor, Anna Dello Russo, to create a line of accessories. "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," said Dello Russo, editor of Vogue Japan. "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." The collection, dropping in stores Oct. 4, stands true to Anna Dello Russo's eccentric fashion flair, featuring bold turquoise and gold cuff bracelets, embellished sunglasses, shoes, and statement clutches.

Anna Dello Russo on Vintage Clothing and Practical Handbags

As large and well documented as her fashion collection is, Anna Dello Russo says she's "not a fan" of vintage clothing.

As large and well documented as her fashion collection is, Anna Dello Russo says she's "not a fan" of vintage clothing. The Vogue Japan editor talked about this distaste in a recent Financial Times Q&A with Emilio Pucci's Peter Dundas.

"I like to consider myself the guardian of fashion. When I moved house 10 years ago, I had 4,000 pairs of shoes. I had to buy a bigger home to store all the clothes because I need closets, not kitchens, and many are now in my house in Bari [in the southern Puglia region]. I'm super tidy so every item is catalogued, stored in garment bags with tissue paper, perfumed, and on hangers that are all the same. But I'm not a vintage fan — I don't like the smell of old clothes."

Dello Russo applies similar standards when it comes to accessories and loungewear. "I'm also not a fan of bags, because anything that is practical isn't handsome; if anything I like clutches. Pajamas and tracksuits are sloppy so I only wear Abercrombie & Fitch tracksuits to go to my yoga class. If you dress comfortably, you don't get the look," she says.

    • On the perfect pair of pants: "I think I'm of the age where I need to start investing in smart pants. I'm not talking anything pleats, I'm just talking about menswear-inspired, as opposed to always reaching for my black skinny jeans."
    • On the search for a great coat: "I'm looking for a great gray [coat] — kind of like a mix between a wool and a silk trench coat if that makes any sense."
