>> Anna Dello Russo, stylist and fashion director-at-large at Vogue Nippon, credits The Sartorialist's Scott Schuman with giving her "another career" as a streetstyle star, she tells Swide. "Us lot were invisible; there was the model, the photographer and a whole team of people. When the camera turned to us it enabled us to start a new career. The styling work was the same, only done to myself. And so when the whole thing happened I was prepared, I knew what to do."
She says that capturing streetstyle is in many ways like staging a fashion magazine editorial. "The whole streetstyle thing these days is like a job, it's all planned and thought up in advance; it's not as though you just 'happen' to run into one another. Outfits are prepared in advance . . . I get ready like six months beforehand. I edit the clothes (about 90 outfits for each fashion week). I think of what would look good on camera . . . I just hope it doesn't end up making it lose its spontaneity and make it become fake."

I knew it! Everyone's always raving about her style and Tommy over at jakandjil loves her, but I thought she looked like a try hard who just wears the latest "it" items
Now it makes sense with her planning outfits 6 months in advance and purposely seeking to be photographed...
Fashion should be thought out in advance....as long as the final outfit doesn't look like it has been given too much thought. Props to her.
Too bad her outfits do look like they've been given too much thought. At least to me. And 6 months is a little absurd.
I love the thought that goes into her fashion week 'parade.'
I disagree that she is seeking to be photographed; it seems that she knows she will, so she plans accordingly. Still, I don't think her outfits look too curated, she still maintains her own style and looks fabulous each go-round.
I LOOOOVE, LOOOOOOOOOOOVE,LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE ANNA:)
I
really believe she doesn't take herself too seriously!!
