She might be one of literature’s most controversial characters (or, dare I say heroine?), but let’s face it, Anna Karenina has true style. Charming, magnetic, and the consummate hostess, I think that anyone, past or present, would yearn to be in her inner circle. And despite her love for finery, it turns out Anna loves black as well as restraint. Sounds like the perfect New Yorker to me!
