Nina Garcia at Victoria Beckham
Nina Garcia mastered the warm but sexy look on a very cold day at the Victoria Beckham show, where she sported an all-black outfit of skater skirt, tights and stiletto boots, belted sweater, plus a warm shearling jacket.
Taylor Tomasi Hill at Theyskens’ Theory
One from the archives: Taylor Tomasi Hill dared to bare her ankles last February at the Theyskens’ Theory show. That’s what warm winter days are for!
Kate Lanphear, Milan Fashion Week
When Kate Lanphear left Elle this December, it seemed like we’d lose out on a whole season of her great style during fashion week. But no! She has landed at T Magazine as Style Director and will be back on the scene this February. We’re looking forward to seeing more of her super cool looks like this one, a textured black leather jacket and her signature black shades outside the shows at Milan fashion week.
Black Leather Coat at Victoria Beckham
On another brutally cold day last February, this guest at the Victoria Beckham show brought out the big guns: a black leather shearling coat, incredibly warm no matter what the weather.
Aymeline Valade at Jason Wu
When the thermometer drops down to the low 20s in New York, my mind goes back to the bitterly cold days outside St. John’s Center during last winter’s New York Fashion Week. And guess what? The next NY Fashion Week is just five weeks away, so it’s time to start brainstorming about what to wear now.
Model Aymeline Valade bundled up with panache outside the Jason Wu show with a wrap, Alexander Wang bag and warm hat for a look that’s cozy yet chic.
Kate Moss at Stella McCartney
Kate Moss, called “the Garbo of fashion” by the NYT this weekend, is coming out with a huge photo book spanning her career, Kate, with commentary by Moss herself. Here she is exiting the Stella McCartney show in Paris this fall, surrounded by a mob of paparazzi.
Natalia Vadianova at Valentino
Model Natalia Vadianova caused quite a stir when she appeared at the Valentino show in Paris. Here she is exiting the show in a black brocade dress with a Dior bag. Love the fun yellow sunglasses she donned to shield herself from the paparazzi, Jackie O-style.
Black Lace Dolce & Gabbana Dress, Outside the Show
One of several sheer black lace dresses outside the Dolce & Gabbana show. While the transparency is probably one of the main things that would catch an American’s eye, the whole concept is a subversion of traditional widow’s garb and therefore much more controversial in Italy.
Ulyana Sergeenko at Dolce & Gabbana
One of my favorite Russians has arrived back on the scene, fashion designer Ulyana Sergeenko. Here she is in a black velvet dress of her own design outside the Dolce & Gabbana show.
Street Chic: Black Vintage Jacket and Sequin Shorts, Jazz Age Lawn Party
At this weekend’s Jazz Age Lawn Party on Governor’s Island, there was a surprising crossover between 1920s looks and goth in several of the guests. Both aesthetics are related to Steampunk and involve a lot of attention to detail, vintage, and a love of costuming. The mashup was pretty brilliant on this young woman, who wore a black vintage jacket with her black sequin shorts and black hat, nicely contrasting with cherry-red lipstick. Very cool personal style.
Sarah Rutson in a Little Black Dress
Never underestimate the power of a little black dress – even during a heat wave. Sarah Rutson of Lane Crawford styled hers with a black vest cinched with a double-wrapped belt during Paris fashion week. It’s a sleek and stylish way of layering for alternating heat and air conditioning.
Bonnaroo Street Chic: All Black
Here’s another citified look for the country: a black bikini, sheer black tank top, black lace skirt, black Coach bag and black Hunter wellies. It’s the Bonnaroo version of the little black dress.
Black Lace Party Dress, Parsons MFA Exhibit
The little black dress is great for a party no matter what the time of year. Designer Jade Rozenbroek wore a lace dress by COS with polka dot tights to her show at the First Eighteen, the Parsons MFA exhibit. Lace also plays a part in her designs for Jack & Jade, pictured after the jump.
Arizona Muse at Jason Wu
Model-of-the-moment Arizona Muse emerged from the Jason Wu show in hair and makeup – and a black coat with leather edging.
Ruby Aldridge, Outside Milk Studios
Ruby Aldridge wore inky black from head to toe on the way to a fitting at Milk Studios. The leather jacket is tough but so beautifully tailored. Obviously she’s got the looks to be one of the top models of NY Fashion Week, but the real reason to love her is for her personality: funny, rebellious and super cool.
