The New Navajo Nation

Navajo Southwest Fashion and Accessories Trend — Fall 2011

>> The chicest Southwest-inspired pieces to wear this season are not your run-of-the-mill cowboy shirts and tooled-leather belts. This Fall, it's all about high-contrast Navajo patterns and richly intricate textures. Take a cue from the runways of Proenza Schouler and Isabel Marant and don't be afraid to clash it up — these pieces look best when paired with colorblocked separates, super-bold solids, or even wildly piled one on top of the other.

Anna Dello Russo for Macy's Ad Campaign

>> Anna Dello Russo both styled and appears in the new campaign for Macy's private label brand INC — alongside Karolina Kurkova. But as the contemporary label's editor-at-large, Dello Russo's involvement doesn't end there: she "edited" a capsule collection of ready-to-wear and accessories for Macy's INC — including red and yellow cropped peacoats, color-blocked tunics, a cropped red fur chubby, all of which can be seen in the ads.

"I’ve edited so many things in my life, the mass market is another challenge for me,” said Dello Russo of the line, which is priced $30 to $139. “I wanted to see if I could push forward in a new way and Macy’s for me represents the biggest of American shopping institutions.”
