J'ADR, When Tommy met Anna!

Yesterday I read about this upcoming exhibition portraying some of the bests pictures taken by Tommy Ton (Jak and Jil blog) of Anna Dello Russo. A logical collaboration since Tommy Ton really boosted her career as a blog-phenomenon. This morning I visited the ADR-page and found all this information concerning this display and it is just impossible not to share. Apparently style.com already covered the exhibition with a jolly Q&A interview and with a selection of some of the exhibit's pictures. So without further ado I give you this ADR info.


"Me and TOMMY will be hosting 

an exhibit at Queen West’s Hudson’s Bay
flagship from the 20th in Toronto.
 
We'll present at THE ROOM
a collection of images titled
“When Tommy Met Anna”
a showcase of TOMMY's street-style
snaps of me taken from past seasons.
 
SO EXCITING!"
Anna
 


 




A style.com Q&A by Matthew Schneier "I have to please Tommy, he is my Guru." Anna on Tommy, Tommy on Anna.

"Anna Dello Russo is the woman who’s launched a thousand street-style blogs. The tirelessly exuberant editor at large of Vogue Nippon is basically synonymous with front-row style (not to mention giant fruit hats). But that’s thanks in part to Tommy Ton, who has made a subspecialty of documenting her numerous outfit changes in loving detail, both on Style.com and on his own blog, JakAndJil. He and Dello Russo will both be in Toronto tomorrow for When Tommy Met Anna, an exhibition at The Bay department store chronicling their ongoing friendship, and the many, many photos he’s taken of her since he first spotted her—in gold D&G mesh—back in March 2007. “She’s gone from Anna Dello Russo to ADR to…I don’t even know what you want to call her today. Anna Dello Gaga?” the Canadian lensman says of Dello Russo’s evolution. For her part, ADR is blunter: “He is my guru,” she explains. “For me, Tommy is now my fashion eyes.” Style.com spoke to the duo about partnership,

four years and counting."
 

The exhibition is called When Tommy Met Anna. Tommy, do you remember when you first spotted her?
And what about the first official meeting?
Did you purposefully avoid identifying yourself, Tommy?
Do you have favorite outfits of hers?
Anna, do you have favorites from Tommy’s shots?
What’s special about Tommy’s pictures?
Anna, how do you prepare your looks?
I’ve heard that she wears sweats at home—frankly, I’d always thought it was a myth.
