I truly admire Anna Dello Russo’s editorial work and in your face style. As a supporter of glamour and excess in a less than glamourous world, I love her blinged out AdR at H&M accessories line. After New York Fashion Week, I usually spend the rest of September wishing I was at Fashion Week in London and Paris. They don’t call it Fashion Month for nothing and it’s hard for me to call Anna Dello Russo anything, but extravagant.

Last week, at the peak of Paris Fashion Week, an extravagant party launched the AdR at H&M collection with theatrical flair. Hosted by H&M together with Anna Dello Russo, the Paradis Ball took place in Paris famed cabaret nightclub Paradis Latin. The glitzy party married fashion, performance and a live showcase by music star Azealia Banks along with epic appearances from stylists and socialites. Every Manhattan girl loves opulent affairs, especially if they take place in Paris. Wish I’d been there.
