Street Style: When Tommy Met Anna at the Room http://swaymag.ca/2011/04/street-style-when-tommy-met-anna-at-the-room/ http://swaymag.ca/2011/04/street-style-when-tommy-met-anna-at-the-room/#comments Thu, 28 Apr 2011 15:45:06 +0000 KarenWelcome http://swaymag.ca/?p=12040 By Karen Welcome

The Hudson’s Bay is hosting ‘When Tommy Met Anna,’ an exhibition showcasing Tommy Ton’s photographic work’s of Vogue Japan Editor-at-Large Anna Dello Russo’s most beloved outfits.

The opening of the exhibition was followed by a cocktail party and an autograph signing the next day where fashion lovers and Dello Russo fans gathered in their sartorial best to celebrate street style and Anna Dello Russo’s fabulous fashions.

Often described as a modern day rockstar, Anna Dello Russo is a fashion force to be reckoned with. First noticed by fashion photographer Tommy Ton in D&G gold mesh on his first visit to Paris, she continued to catch Ton’s eye with her elaborate outfits and stylish, undeterred individuality. The two became more acquainted as Anna’s popularity grew on Tommy Ton’s website JakandJil.com and soon became close knit friends who share the accolades of pioneering a universal love of street style photography.

When asked why street style has gotten more popular Tommy Ton replied, “because it’s more relatable and accessible than runway. I want to celebrate the way women dress in their own way.”

Anna Dello Russo added, “It’s important to take care of this part of yourself. It’s like colouring for kids, play like a kid with the clothes [and] don’t think you don’t have talent. Every girl has the right to enjoy fashion…if you want to wear a cherry hat, why not?”

She cites her fashion icons as Carine Roitfeld and Lady Gaga, and Tommy Ton himself as her “guru,” but it is clear that the duo’s relationship is more than that of muse and photographer. Together they share captured memories and a journey that highlights them going from being self-proclaimed “nobodies” to ushering in a new breed of cool and a breath of fresh air.

Here are some of Sway’s very own street style pics from the night:
