Full collection 'The Fashion Shower' by ADR for H&M

After 'The Fashion Shower' video went viral yesterday - I even posted explanation of it and a kind of 'defense' - , here the (maybe) full collection, piece by piece. The images are not official, I found them in a thread in discussion forum The Fashion Spot and they're from the website theYnotlife. They look as if they have been taken in a showroom maybe. Anyway...here they are for your scrutiny.

Dopo che il video 'The Fashion Shower'( o Sciaua) e' diventato virale ieri - ho persino postato una spiegazione dello stesso e una sorta di 'difesa' -, ecco (forse) tutta la collezione, pezzo per pezzo. Le immagini non sono ufficiali, le ho trovate su un thread nel forum di discussione The Fashion Spot e sono prese dal sito theYnotlife. Sembrano essere scattate in uno showroom forse. Comunque...eccole sottoposte al vostro scrutinio.

From a stylist point of view I have to say that, except from the sunglasses, there are some pieces that are easily wearable like the necklace and earrings below, the orange and pearls necklace and bracelet and the clutches. The rest of the pieces could work on an extremely simple outfit or if you are dressing up for a laugh. Have a look and tell me what you think.

Come stylist devo dire che, a parte gli occhiali da sole, ci sono dei pezzi facilmente indossabili come quelli nella foto qui sotto, la collana ed il bracciale arancione con perle e le clutch. Il resto della collezione potrebbe funzionare su un outift estremamente semplice oppure se vi state vestendo per farvi una risata. Date un'occhiata e ditemi che ne pensate.

Anna Dello Russo Fashion Shower Explained

Anna Dello Russo music video 'Fashion Shower' launched yesterday. Not in the charts, even if she said more than once that she would like to sing and create a music album. Anyway. The video is a promotional one for her  forthcoming accessories collaboration with H&M that is launching on October 4th. Most of the comments that I read online are negative and bash her style and the video itself.

I agree that it is trashy, over the top and not classy BUT I believe that if you don't know her style and her vision of fashion you obviously don't get the 'Fashion Shower' video. 

Fashion Shower video

I've been following (and loving her) for a long time now and I even had the chance to see her personally twice during London fashion week. Both during a Michael Van Der Ham show last year and in Febraury at the V&A I saw that how she appears to be in pictures it's the real Anna...I mean she really believes in what she says about fashion, she really loves fashion and her work. This is not a crash course about her but I'm just trying to point out the good points of the video. 

- The Fashion rules that she declares are quotation of herself. She had been 'dictating' those rules in almost every interview you find online.

- The accessories that she flashes during the video are H&M and in trend with the Baroque trend that is in the shops at the moment.

- She may not be young and a model but she's herself and far from being skinny, she's healthy and fit (she does yoga and swimming).

V&A talk

Anna Dello Russo for H&M

Just found about this news on a press release in my inbox and it's already on the web. 

ADR - editor at large of Vogue Japan - is designing a line of accessories for H&M. 

Well...we can see those accessories in the preview pictures already so I guess that they were designed and are being given the fininished touches before going into production.

Anna Dello Russo needs no introduction but if you don't know her that much have a look at the video below.

The collection will be available from October the 4th, during fashion week month, available into the stores and online and features jewelry, sunglasses, shoes, bags and a trolley.

Ho appena saputo questa notizia da un cs nella mia mail ed e' gia' sul web.

ADR - editor at large per Vogue Giappone - sta disegnando una linea di accessori per H&M.

Beh...possiamo gia' vederli nelle immagini di preview quindi suppongo che li abbia gia' disegnati e che gli stiano dando i tocchi finali prima di andare in produzione.

Anna Dello Russo non ha bisogno di introduzioni ma se non la conoscete molto dando un'occhiata al video qui sotto. La collezione sara' disponibile dal 4 ottobre, durante le settimane della moda, disponibile nei negozi ed online e comprende gioielli, occhiali da sole, scarpe, borse ed un trolley da viaggio.

She one of those charathers that you either love or 'hate'. There's no half way between with ADR just like her style. I've always liked her as I do believe she's fun, clever and passionate about fashion. I'm really glad that she decided to design accessories and not a full collection and in her own words, as a stylist, she knows how crucial accessories are the final touch to a great outift. I do really agree! 

From the little preview we can already tell that there's going to be a lot of gold, black and bold colours and that's really ADR style. 

MORE is MORE.

I had the chance to meet her back in Febraury in London during Fashion Week at a talk at the V&A and her talk was really ispiring and entertaining. 

I'm just wondering if in the collaboration that are men's accessories too or not- fingers crossed!

E' uno di quei personaggi che o si amano o si 'odiano'. Non c'e' via di mezzo con ADR proprio come il suo stile. Mi e' sempre piaciuta poiche' penso che sia una donna divertente, intelligente e veramente appassionata di moda. Sono contento che abbia deciso di fare una linea di accessori invece di una collezione e con parole sue, da stylist, sa quanto importanti siano gli accessori per dare il tocco finale ad ogni look. Condivido!

Dalla brevissima preview possiamo gia' dire che ci sara' molto color oro, nero e colori forti e questo e' propio il marchio di fabbrica di ADR.

MORE is MORE.

Ho avuto l'occasione di incontrarla a febrbraio a Londra alla V&A durante la Fashion Week per una conferenza e l'intervista e' stata divertente e di incoraggiamento per chi muove i primi passi nella fashion scene. Mi sto solo chiedendo se nella collaborazione ci siano anche accessori da uomo - dita incrociate!
