We love a fashion evergreen Chez LaDoubleJ. Why even bother with clothes you’re going to throw out in two years time? No other piece will evoke such consistent, long-term admiration in your wardrobe than the classic camel coat. Max Mara has designed 100s of them over the years, but the most beloved is the No. 101801, first created in 1981 and still in production today. With its oversized shape, roomy feel and round, sloping shoulders, the coat could not be more of-the-moment. An added perk? It feels like a giant sleeping electric blanket wrapped around whatever kind of ornament you may (or may not) have on underneath. That’s actually the brilliance of this piece: it dresses up a tragic pair of yoga pants, it tames the razzle-dazzle on your evening dress. It looks just as appropriate with weekend Stan-Smiths as it does foxy Gianvito Rossi stiletto heels.
Here to show us just how multi-tasking this piece can be are some of our favorite Milanese mothers and daughters. All of thes

Anna Dello Russo. Our hero. We adore this woman a lot so I thought why not make an Inside Fashion brev about her so that you’ll know more about this fantastisk woman and her achievements. Anna Dello Russo is
the editor and creative consultant for Vogue Japan. She was born 1962 in Bari, a city south of Italy, and she currently resides in Milan. Anna stated that she owns over 4000 pairs of shoes. That’s a girl’s perfect closet.
On October 4, 2012, Anna Dello Russo released an acessoiries line in collaboration with H&M. View the promotion video she made for her collection here:
She has an M.A. degree in Italian Literature and Art History taken at the University of Bari and she attended the Domus Academy in Milan.

Carlotta Oddi
Interview from The Cut
"This year has been full of growth and change," Carlotta Oddi wrote in an e-mail to the Cut earlier this week, perhaps one of fashion month's most sincere statements. The 28-year-old Italian first caught our eye when her photo appeared in our haute couture street-style slideshow alongside the caption "Anna Dello Russo’s assistant." After speaking with her in August, we followed up with Oddi a few days after her first New York Fashion Week, catching her at a time of mid-season introspection. "I had the chance to see shows that before I could only see online," she explained. "I found the Alexander Wang show to be exciting and unexpected. I love his style, shapes, and his garment construction." She also liked Michael Kors, calling the looks "handsome."
In Milan, her favorites (so far) were Prada, Alberta Ferretti, Max Mara, and Andrea Incontri — "Andrea was one of my hardest profess
