What is it like to soak up the fashion week atmosphere in Milan? The interesting thing about this question is that the experience is different for everyone. So the more intriguing question might actually be, what is it like to attend a Milan fashion week show when you happen to be Anna Dello Russo?


Dello Russo gets to see things that others don’t see. She’d also, no doubt, interpret them through the lens of her own creative vision. In this project by ZZegna, Dello Russo filmed her experience of the ZZegna fall 2011 men’s show from arriving (and of course being snapped by street style bloggers) to wandering backstage, to viewing the actual show. The thing that perhaps strikes you the most though is how unflappable and at ease Dello Russo is despite the rush of fashion week. And, of course, how well she accessorises the beautifully tailored double-breasted suit created especially for her by ZZegna’s Creative Director, Paul Surridge.
