If you catch Anna Dello Russo during New York fashion week (after elbowing your way past her hordes of street-style photographer fans), chances are you’ll find her in the latest ready-to-wear, sometimes ordered straight from the runway. So when word broke earlier last month that the stylist and Vogue Nippon editor collaborated with Macy’s for the INC line—she styled, offered trend suggestions, and served as a sort of creative ambassador for the line—our curiosity was piqued. Style.com started off the morning at the Mondrian Hotel, where we chatted with ADR on mass fashion, packing for fashion week, and why you won’t see her at late-night after-parties.

After leaking last week, images from Steven Meisel’s Prada Fall ad campaign were officially released today. And leave it to Miuccia (and casting director Ashley Brokaw, of course), to throw a curveball: After tapping some of the modeling world’s biggest for her recent campaigns, she went for lesser-known beauties this time around.
