Enough with the sneak peeks; we’ve finally got our hands on the complete lookbook for the Anna Dello Russo for H&M accessories collection! Featuring almost 50 pieces of jewelry, bags, shoes, sunglasses and luggage, the collaboration is everything we love about ADR. Meaning: it’s completely outrageous and over-the-top.

“Accessories are like vitamins to fashion — as such, you should use them liberally,” advises Dello Russo. And now we can, at affordable price points. The ADR x H&M collection retails from US$24.95 for earrings to US$59.95 for a turquoise clutch to US$299 for over-the-knee leather boots.

by The Backseat Stylers | August 28th, 2012

Yesterday we showed you a first look at Margiela for H&M, and today we’ve got even more H&M designer collaboration images for you! Thanks to the September issues of Vogue Russia and Vogue Spain, we get our first sneak peeks at Anna Dello Russo’s accessories collaboration with the fast fashion retailer since it was announced back in May.

Sure, ADR was spotted sporting some of her H&M pieces during Paris couture week, but these magazine pages are filled to the brim with the statement jewelry, sunglasses, clutches, shoes and even luggage that the Vogue Nippon Editor-at-Large and street style icon designed. They’re in high res too, so click away in order to see that ornate turquoise suitcase, those zebra bangles and those crocodile-adorned sunglasses up close and personal.

Let me guess, your ADR for H&M wish list just got that much longer, didn’t it? Not to worry – I’m right there with you! The collection will be available in around 140 H&M stores worldwide as well as online at hm.com on October 4.

Anna Dello Russo for H&M Accessories Collection Coming This Fall

by The Backseat Stylers | May 3rd, 2012

Street style icon and Vogue Nippon‘s Fashion Director at Large Anna Dello Russo has collaborated with fast fashion retailer H&M on a special collection of accessories. The capsule, due to hit stores this Fall, features ornate, gold-toned jewelry with turquoise accents and reptile embellishments, as well as sunglasses, shoes, bags and even a carry-on.

“I am excited by this collaboration: this is the first time H&M has involved a fashion director in a special project”, said Dello Russo in a press release. “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”.

Dello Russo is known for her often outrageous ensembles and multiple outfit changes per day during fashion weeks, so it’s no surprise that her designs for H&M are rather over-the-top and ostentatious. Naturally, I want in. The lizard-adorned cuffs and deer clasp minaudiere are definitely on my wish list. No word on pricing yet, but H&M is promising ‘uniqueness at an affordable price’ with this accessories range.

The collection will be available October 4 in around 140 stores worldwide as well as online at hm.com, and is sure to sell out faster than Anna Dello Russo can change her outfit. Will you be lining up to get your hands on some ADR for H&M? Check out images of the collection and watch H&M’s interview with ADR herself below.
