Anna Dello Russo for H&M

The legend which is Anna Dello Russo has collaborated with H&M to produce a killer accessories collection with jewellery, sunglasses, shoes, handbags & a very special gold edged suitcase- launching on 4th October.

"I am excited by this collaboration - it's the first time H&M has involved a fashion director in a special project," said Dello Russo. "This is the sign of an important evolution in fashion, and I am both thrilled and humbled to be the one chosen to lead it. I wanted to create precious accessories that are impossible to find.  As a stylist I know accessorising is essential - it is the personal touch to any outfit. With these pieces everybody can have fun, turning an ordinary day into a fantastic fashion day." Anna Dello Russo - Vogue

Other than the collection being highly sort after, H&M have released a fabulous tranny-chic music video for the launch with 10 of Anna's fashion commandments rolled into a dance track...it's immense.
