Fabulous street-style maven Anna Dello Russo is selling almost everything in the personal archive she collected over the last 30 years. A series of private sales for friends will culminate in a flash sale of 150 pieces on Net-a-Porter's Instagram Stories, and a Christie's auction. Prices are very low, reason love!
Anna explains to Vogue, "When I met my boyfriend, I asked, 'Angelo, where should I put my clothes?'. He said, 'No space, sorry!' And I knew in that moment that I had to give space to life," she tells Vogue. "I think sometimes my life in fashion can be really insane, it gives no respect to the real life, the real relations."
"I waited for the right moment," she explains. "A collection of clothes is good when you're younger, but when you get older collecting stuff can be a little macabre. You know, like the bone collectors in those terrible horror movies."
Anna chose to use all proceeds and donate to the British Fashion Council Education Foundation - because, she notes, "My clothes are like my children, I don't want to sell any children!"
"If I'm born again, I want to do things properly. Garbage is no good as a message. Before I used to say, 'Wear what you want.' Now I say, 'Recycle clothes!' Times are changing."
