Mixed feelings on the two-piece. . .

I could never in a million years…

…but on her, so striking.

cool!!

The look would have looked so much more chic and easy if just one of the two pieces had been worn.

The pattern itself is of interest. Isn't this too much as a total look, though?

Now this is a power suit. Anna wear everything with an attitude <3

wow she's brave to wear that suit..
i mean i understand the blazer with a solid piece but blazer and pants same

That's alot of that pattern going on…I think she's got the attitude to pull it off!

Anna! The details make the outfit!

puhhleezze!
this is bad… where is the sense of fashion??

Love the clutch but the suit is gold overdose. I think only the jacket is enough to be fashinable. Anna doesn't need more than that!

Love this look – so cool. Her confidence & the shades make it work.

Anna Dello Russo, always so fashion

Love the look…and I have the same glasses!

There's something aggressive about the way this woman wears her clothes that I cannot get past, try though I may.

I am not a lover of a entire outfit in one print.. it loses its modernity ..

A fantastic outfit but almost nobody photographs well in shades.

I love the suit. The white top underneaths adds something simple to help break up a suit in one print.

gold rush!

she is on point.

OK, if folks are going to complain that runway photos are not relatable, then I take exception to ADR.

I get it – she puts on a good show. And if what one is looking for is clothes worn in a fantastical, impractical, unreachably expensive way, she provides.

But if we are looking for inspiration for our own lives – shapes, colors, concepts – nothing could be less useful than another picture of ADR.

Now, I'm not telling anyone to stop taking her picture. Not every picture on this blog has to serve a single purpose. And she is fantastical. (also, it's not my blog) But if haters are gonna hate (I love that phrase), hate on ADR. Because she's not "on the street", she's on her own personal, incredibly costly runway.

Amazing outfit, color-ftw! <3

A terrific look for the 18th century. Not sure why one would want to create so much visual disturbance during the day here in the 21st century, though.

I think she looks sensational… great outfit on this very beautiful woman – the gold aviators top it off! Impressive photograph too Scott.

Fierce baby!

I disagree with a Broad. I think an outfit in one print can look modern. The print becomes, in a way, a neutral element, shifting the focus to the cut of the pant and jacket, the silhouette.

Always unique and distinctive! I can always recognise anna :)
Please Mr Sartorialist would you mind explaining to me what the interesting piece of metal hanging from her shoulder is? At first I thought a bag charm but on second looks not so sure. . ?

sometimes its not about what ones wearing but how. this woman simply can and she does it perfectly amazing.

Funny, but this almost seems understated for ADR. A simply cut suit with a classic white shirt. No fur, no screaming neon colors. I like it.

Yes ! I love this – I think everyone should dress like this every once in a while and some people – should every day ! I wonder what shoes she is wearing ?

So chic. I love her style.

That outfit must have taken a lot of courage…she does have the right attitude for it though!!have a great weekend!!

Oh WOW… I am not sure how to react to this one. Thats a hell of a lot of print.

nice!! but only a jacket with a solid black trouser ! will look better!!

this woman is ridiculous.

Anna dello Russo, ANNA DELLO RUSSO! How I love thee…let me count the ways… — I love how you can see the feet of the crowd (I'm assuming photographers, spectators, fellow fashion fanatics) in the reflection of her sunglasses. I love the theme of this -> GOLDEN.

I love you Scott Shuman! Thanks for my signing my copy of your book. ADR is always flawlessly chic. Those glasses remind me of the Mykita & Bernhard Willhelm Franz golden sunglasses Sarah Jessica Parker wore in the 2010 movie Sex and the City 2. Don't they?

I want to take her home and sit on her or hang her in the window.

She could be in "Velvet Goldmine". I encourage more craziness in dress that upsets people. Nice.

She's definitely the queen of style! Great pic, congrats!

LOVE the texture

Just fabulous!!!

That shouldn't work, but she carries it off with style. <3

I love her style… truly a fashion icon
very bold and daring

True fashion is subjective, not everyone will love it

Amazing! I love Anna, she is always so prefect! M.

I love gold lame fabric at the moment but a two-piece suit is too much. I prefer it to be worn as a skirt…obviously she can pull it off though. NHG x

Hihi, Prada style of holding the clutch, right?

By the way, I seriously started wondering if she pays you to put her on your blog so often…? I wish I could see more "street people"

PFW is been amazing

il est super ce tailleur imprimé brocart, en plus elle a de la chance elle ne fait pas tapisserie ^^

The outfit does not wow me, but the lighting and her sunglasses do!

love~

Did you ever walk into a house that is picture perfect – right out of a magazine? did it leave the impression that no one actually lives in the house? For me this is what is wrong with this look. A walking billboard for design and fabric better used on window treatments. If the goal is to shout look at me I have money, it works. Where Is HER personality, style, Over the top and as several have said this would have looked better without 2 pieces. Cop shades on a tall woman makes me want to fish out my license and reggie.

A cross between Charles II and Neil Armstrong.

i love the blazer!! :D

Perfectly turned out! I like the shorter sleeves so you can see the cuff of the shirt. The photo managed to mirror in her sunglasses the same colors she is wearing. Great photo.

AAAAAAAAmazing!!!

To a comment above: ADR is trying too hard. That is her raison d'etre. As with most people that exist to be photographed.

I actually like the suit. However in bright sunshine, it loses any context other than "hey look at me!" The accessories are garish in this context as well (although individually nice), the sunglasses offensive even.

This is someone who is supposed to be a fashion "icon" – if those things still exist. The question is what kind of story is she trying to tell?

She is just visually loud.

How does she fit into the zeitgeist? What is her actual relevance to fashion as it relates to culture?

She is a sideshow, a curiosity. She has no identity. Maybe that is the point…

Egoista

I just want to say I love the variety of styles you've posted on here. It has really inspired me to try new styles, despite people not "getting it" right away. I'm usually a jeans and t-shirt kind of girl, or just a simple dress here and there. But I've begun to pair white shirts with strapless blue dresses, stripped sweater over purple floral dresses, and belting more. I know they don't seem like such an extravagant leap, but it's really boosted my confidence and made me enjoy my wardrobe more =) So again, thanks!

She's amaaaaazing!!

Xx

Wow it's so overwhelming! Not even sure how I feel about this outfit, but she sure looks like she loves it, so I'll go with that! Absolutely adore her glasses though!

he wears his brocade on his sleeve

For myself, I wouldn't have the balls to carry this outfit but on her, she seems to carry the right attitude…which is what makes most looks come together.

Not like many have expressed here, I get a lot of ideas from her look, even though if I sold my car I still would not be able to buy a single piece of it :P

Love the crazy reflecting nail polish!

Whats great about this is that it IS too much – and that's exactly why she is wearing it. And the gold accessories push it beyond over the top. If she had tried to tone it down – or worn only one piece, it wouldn't have worked. Pushing this over the top is the only way to make this look work. Bravo for having fun with fashion, and knowing when and how hard to push the envelope.

I love the gold with the white. Very amazing.

Wow, I've seen all over brocade or paisley or whatever it is looks so cool and streamlined on someone, certainly not in real life on the street!

I don't think it's too much, I think she looks great! But maybe it's because this look seems quite subdued compared to what she normally wears.

Ahhh magnifique!

You look really great! Fantastic blazer and nice damask-ish baroque print.

Great fabric.

I love her.

Love he glasses where are they from!

I mean those sunglasses are PERFECTION! Simply sublime, and i want them, but they are sold out already on net-a-porter, ugh!

She pulls of the suit as well!

That's a HOT man!

I like… elements of this outfit. The sunglasses are great, and the jacket might have been cool if she had worn it by itself, but altogether?
gaudy. too flashy. I don't like it.

This is absolutely the way to go with it. Only one piece would have been a "like everyone else-look".
Way to go!
