Anna Dello Russo Needs $50k Per Outfit: For Anna Dello Russo, the sky is the limit in terms of both outfit choices and price tags. A recent Moda Operandi video series entitled The One That Got Away asks fashion insiders to cite an item of clothing they couldn’t get their hands on or decided not to buy but wish they had. Dello Russo responded: “It doesn’t happen to me.” She told fellow street-style star Giovanna Battaglia in their video, “I missed so many boyfriends but not outfits, darling. For me, I have to look expensive. I need…fifty thousand dollars [for] each outfit a day.” For fashion week, that amounts to nearly $1.3 million -- if, of course, she only wears one outfit per day.
