It’s day three in Milan and we’re playing I spy from the shows to the streets.

9:00 a.m.: I spy… A ‘90s moment at Moschino. The lineup of leather perfectos embellished with giant peace signs and hearts, oversized gold hoop earrings, quilted hip packs, gold studded bags, and slick skinny trousers instantly brought three names to mind: Naomi, Christy, Linda. A ‘90s-inspired collection requires the supermodel stars of that decade.

Best in show: Prada. The moment the first look (head-to-toe noir with glittering embellishment) hit the graphic purple plush carpet/runway I was in love. It felt classic—very old school Prada (mixed-up prints, clean lines, slick structured bags).

The new suit for fall: Prada’s tailored jacket and cropped trousers. Regardless if you prefer the jumble of mix-and-match prints or the screaming solid orange version, at some point you’ll want them all.

Hottest shoes off the runway: Anna Dello Russo’s Prada Spring 2012 flame shoes.

Remember when Anna Dello Russo did a backwards yoga pose in her insane video for “Fashion Shower?” Well, looks like we’ll be seeing lots more of it! At a recent panel at London’s V&A Museum, the editrix/style star reveals that a career in music is next on her horizon: “I want to finish in fashion, […]

Who needs Santa when you’ve got ADR? In her latest nonsensical yet amazing video, the kooky Italian editrix dances around in another Fausto Puglisi mini dress, glitter heels, jeweled sunnies, and an oversized wig to “Jingle Bells” along with an unidentified friend. (Radio Deejay, perhaps?) We have no idea what’s going on here, but we […]

Tomorrow is December 1, meaning that the holiday party season is upon us.

Today’s the big day—but it’s not too late to pull a costume together for Halloween. Throughout last week we brought you how-to guides for some very fashionable costumes: Karl Lagerfeld, Katy Perry, Mick and Bianca Jagger, Anna Dello Russo, Nicki Minaj, and the cast of Rocky Horror Picture Show.

If you already dressed up this weekend, we want to see your Halloween pictures! Did you go as a fashion icon, a celebrity, or something else? Share your costume with us on Facebook and Twitter! Happy Halloween!

For our fourth day of Fashion’ween, we bring you the ultimate icon for show-stopping dress up: none other than Vogue Nippon editrix, Anna Dello Russo. Famed for her many fantastical getups, the key to authenticating Dello Russo’s look is easier than it looks—it’s all about the mini dress, the sparkle, the tan, and the larger-than-life hair accessory.

Before, after, or during your fashion shower, follow along as we break down her look:

Word: Orientalism

Meaning: The falsely glam-ified depiction of Eastern people and culture by Western image makers.

Usage: “Orientalism tend fatally towards the systematic accumulation of human beings and territories.” — Edward Said, author of (ta-da!) Orientalism

Has True Blood fever hit France? In celebration of Carine Roitfeld’s new book, Irreverent, she held a vampire ball in Paris last night where fashion’s biggest stars were expected to dress up and get into character. Naturally, some were more enthusiastic than others. Riccardo Tisci showed up with fake blood dripping from his mouth and Anna Dello Russo wore a Stephen Jones X Giles scarlet swan feather headdress that she described as “aggressive.” Other partygoers like Kanye West and Karl Lagerfeld dressed as per their usual. Perhaps they didn’t get the memo. Perhaps Kanye was still mid-fit.

Is Roitfeld is a Bill or Eric fan? We’re hoping the latter.

Anna Dello Russo has been seen in almost-the-same dress not twice, not three times, but four times. And during fashion month, too! A shande. Dello Russo first appeared in the embellished little (and we mean little) number alongside model Karolina Kurkova during Fashion’s Night Out in New York. They were twins, and it was cute. Little did we know that the twin trend would rage on… and on. We’re not sure if Kate Middleton‘s recycling ways are rubbing off on the typically over the top Vogue Nippon editor, or that she’s trying (and trying hard) to promote her fellow countryman, Italian designer Fausto Puglisi, who’s behind the fraternal twin creations. Either way, we’re just wondering how upset Tommy Ton is.

We’ve got another beautiful selection of photos from Paris today, including snaps of some of the most major names in the biz, like Anna Wintour, Grace Coddington, Mario Testino, Patrick Demarchelier, Anna Dello Russo, and Rachel Zoe. Plus, a bunch of pretty girls carrying branded balloons, something we can’t say we’ve seen before!

Today’s style snaps look like they should be taking place in the spring. Unseasonably warm temperature means less clothing, and less options for those who packed their Paris fashion week luggage full of boots, scarves, and sweaters. Still, everyone pulled it off. Enjoy the photos, and pretend (like we are) that you’re basking in the warm Parisian sun.
