Madison Avenue, November
Just before the cold came bearing down on us, jackets and sheer stockings were on display on Madison Avenue. Fortunately many of these looks can still carry you through the winter – just add warm accessories.
Camel coats have been around for so long that you have to be careful not to look like your grandma in one of them. One solution: go short for a flirty look, seen here with stockings and heels. (more…)

Marc by Marc Jacobs SS2011
There’s a very practical reason to go to a Marc by Marc show: to see what we’ll all be wearing next season. Though the high-end designer shows are an interesting indication of where fashion is going, Marc by Marc Jacobs is a line that many people can actually afford.

Sonia Rykiel and John Galliano
Two shows converged at the industrial warehouse setting of Halle Freyssinet in eastern Paris. Sonia Rykiel’s show was followed immediately by John Galliano’s, and both drew many fashionably-dressed people out in the bitter cold.
A great bright yellow parka adds great color in winter. (Despite the fact that it was a March day, it was freezing.) Note the cropped trousers and oversized scarf. On him: black fur. It’s not just for women anymore. Excellent sunglasses on both of them. (more…)
