Anna Dello Russo - Fashion Director at Large for Vogue Nippon and darling of street style photographers, particularly the much loved The Sartorialist, Scott Schuman.

Fast Facts:

3. She holds a Bachelors degree in Italian Literature and Art History.

In her own words: I enjoy working with the Japanese as we have a very similar approach: I am a fashion scientist. I haven't missed out on a single fashion week in twenty years and I watch every single show, relevant or not so relevant. I have this methodical, scientific approach and so do the Japanese so I would like to stay there for the time being.
