Carine Roitfeld at Hermes
If there’s anyone who knows how to rock a sexy pencil skirt, it’s Carine Roitfeld, seen here in all black at the Hermes show, and subject of the fashion documentary Mademoiselle C.
Ursina Gysi at Issey Miyake
Ursina Gysi looked super cool in a black maxi skirt paired with a black pleated biker jacket with a burgundy trim at the collar at the Issey Miyake show.
Kate Lanphear at Armani
This has got to be one of my favorite outfits Kate Lanphear of T Magazine has ever worn. Just pure inky black from head to toe, with a thin leather top, mid-calf skirt and the new over-the-ankle boots. She is true to her original style while giving a nod to new trends, and she gets more sophisticated every year.
Joan Smalls at Gucci
One supposed “rule” of the new over-the-ankle boots is that you can’t wear them with miniskirts. Well guess what: If you have legs like Joan Smalls, you can wear them with anything. The top model exited the Gucci show in all black, including a skater skirt and sheer mesh top.
Little Black Dress, Parisian Ball
Black Dress and Chanel Belt, Outside Chanel Couture
All Black Vintage Look, Outside Rodarte
Here’s more black for summertime, this time on a guest at the Rodarte show dressed head to toe in vintage. The perfectly tousled hair gives the whole look a Stevie Nicks-ian quality.
Model Off Duty, Astor Place
Loved this punk-inspired look on a model off duty in Astor Place: all black, including black creeper shoes, except for the bit of irreverent fun that is the pink fluffy hat.
Punk Look, Astor Place
I’m really afraid to see what all the celebs and fashion people wear to Monday night’s Met Ball for the new punk exhibit. Chances are that the red carpet will make us all feel cynical about the intersection of art and commerce. If a woman at the punk Met Ball really wanted to do it right, she would take an expensive SS2013 designer sheath, rip it to shreds and pin it back together with safety pins.
Fortunately you can still see real punk at Astor Place and St. Mark’s Place, where Kendall wore an all black look with amazing platform creepers, studded collar, black eyeliner, black nail polish and an black vinyl spiked backpack. “I got it at a stripper store,” she said. Now that’s anti-establishment. Accessory and makeup details after the jump. (more…)
Kate Lanphear at Marc by Marc Jacobs SS2010
Another street style meets throwback Thursdays photo for you: Kate Lanphear in September 2009 at the Marc by Marc Jacobs show. Would studs would have taken off the way they did were it not for Lanphear, then the accessories editor at Elle? She started wearing the Eddie Borgo bracelets, and then we started seeing studs on Louboutins like these. Then studs went totally mainstream, and even now they’re still on shoes and bags at Bloomingdale’s. In a 2010 interview, Lanphear professed to shopping at the small shops and vintage places on St. Mark’s Place. It all goes back to Trash & Vaudeville.
Crossing the Street, Outside Balmain
Never underestimate the sartorial power of all black from head to toe. There was a lot of it on the runways for fall/winter 2013 and outside the shows, as seen on this guest at Balmain. The black leather pants are Balmain.
Nausheen Shah at Dries Van Noten
Black and gold is another trend to look out for in fall 2013. Nausheen Shah wore the combination to dramatic effect at the Dries Van Noten show with a standout necklace by jewelry designer Anndra Neen. Close up after the jump. (more…)
Emmanuelle Alt at Dries Van Noten
Bienvenue à Paris Fashion Week! French Vogue editor Emmanuelle Alt surveyed the scene outside the Dries Van Noten show in all black, her coat belted just so, her scarf casually but perfectly coiled. Very French.
Kate Lanphear at Gucci
Kate Lanphear of T Magazine has always been a wearer of inky black from head to toe. It somehow gets more stylish every year, though – the monochromatic palette brings your focus to the thick, soft leather of her jacket, the beautiful tailoring of the clothes, the silhouette of the feminine heels. That’s fellow street style photog Adam Katz Sinding of Le 21ème in the background – another fashion person who favors all black.
Michelle Harper at Jason Wu
Michelle Harper has the most amazing personal style that always seems to reference vintage, though her clothes are often by up-and-coming American designers. She’s like a 1920s flapper who’s been airlifted to modern times. At the Jason Wu show, she wore a black fur coat and a black turban with red lipstick, perfect for blowing a kiss in the snow.
