“Fashion is always uncomfortable,” declares Anna Dello Russo in what seems to be a set of fashion commandments. But these are commandments that don’t find themselves etched into stone – rather they’re proclaimed from the mountain top of giant gold shoe and carried forth on a wave of euro techno beats.
