Talent Management has always been a fan of fashion icon and legendary Fashion Director Anna Dello Russo. Described by Helmut Newton as a “fashion maniac”, the team here have dubbed her an idol of the blogosphere and are big fans of her unique sense of style. So, unsurprisingly, we were more than happy to hear that she’s just designed a special collection of accessories for H&M.

Available from October this year, the collection, which features jewellry, sunglasses, shoes, bags and a trolley, has been described by H&M as “unabashedly glamorous, precious and playful”, and is a true expression of Dello Russo’s taste for ornamentation.

“I am excited by this collaboration: this is the first time H&M involves 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 accessorisation 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”, the designer explained.

Margareta van den Bosch, Creative Advisor at H&M, added: “It’s been extremely exciting to involve Anna Dello Russo in this project, something completely different from what we have done before. Anna has a fantastic eye and a strong taste, apart from being a veritable fashion icon. She produced an extravagant range of accessories that will get H&M customers and everyone in love with fashion excited. The collection is a celebration of excess, fantasy and decoration.”

As an undesputable driving force in contemporary fashion, the models and talent here at the agency can’t wait to get their hands on this unique range – just a shame we have to wait until autumn!
