White Dress and Chanel Jacket, Outside Chanel
Such a great summer-to-fall transitional outfit on a guest at the Chanel show. She tops a summery white minidress with a boucle Chanel jacket, black Chanel hat and adds black Chanel boots with a chain motif. The bag is Hermès. This is the luxury version of transitional, but you could also try the same mix with any non-Chanel items you have on hand.
Linda Tol at Rochas
Linda Tol wore a vivid green cactus-print top and skirt by What’s Inside You, a clothing line by fellow blogger Eleanora Carisi, to the Rochas show yesterday in Paris. Also: Nike running shoes, the unexpected footwear of choice for many trendsetters during Fashion Month. Detail shot of her bag, after the jump. (more…)
Zhanna Romashka at Etro
Zhanna Romashka made a splash at Etro with a great mix of a yellow polka dot Miu Miu skirt, vintage jacket and Paula Cademartori bag. Detail shot of the jacket and bag, after the jump. (more…)
Caroline de Maigret at Theyskens’ Theory
Chanel muse and model Caroline de Maigret exudes this sultry French chic that we American women can’t seem to master. Alas, maybe we could at least dress like her? At the Theyskens’ Theory show yesterday, she paired black waxed jeans with a beautiful silk herringbone blazer and heels. The bag is Chanel, bien sûr.
Another difference between the Americans and the French: they don’t waste time with blowouts, instead letting their hair look always a little bit mussed. Very sexy.
Green Coat and Orange Wicker Bag, Outside Giambattista Valli
A lightweight green coat and orange wicker bag struck a nice balance of modern and vintage outside the Giambattista Valli couture show.
Chanel Matriochka Bag, Outside the Couture Show
Another delicious little detail from the Chanel couture show in Paris: the much-coveted Russian doll bag, the Matriochka, carried by a mother and daughter duo walking into the Grand Palais.
Helena Bordon at Chanel Couture
At the Chanel couture show in Paris, Brazilian Helena Bordon wore a pantsuit with exquisite ruffled sleeves by Sao Paulo designer Reinaldo Lourenço. And what looks like an oversize cologne bottle is actually an ingenious clutch by Charlotte Olympia, a favorite designer among the fashion set.
Miroslava Duma at Dior Couture
Trendsetter and street style muse Miroslava Duma wore a couple of sportswear-inspired dresses during Paris couture week, including this blue and orange colorblocked Dior dress at the Dior couture show. Note that she pairs it with super ladylike accessories. Pearl earrings, electric blue heels and a black Hermès bag keep the look very polished.
Fei Fei Sun at Valentino
Model Fei Fei Sun exited the Valentino couture show in Paris in a chic black and white trench by Phillip Lim.
Susie Bubble at Valentino
Fashion blogger Susie Bubble always stands out in a crowd. At the Valentino show, she wore Chanel shorts (vintage I think) a colorful print top and chunky heels and headphones. The element that brings it all together: the color blue.
Natalie Joos at Dior
One from the archives – I love these layers of colorful silk for summer, seen here on Natalie Joos outside a Dior show. The red lipstick and accessories add extra polish.
Elisa Nalin at Fendi
Certain colors seem to resonate at certain times, and right now it’s green. Elisa Nalin was already rocking it last September at the Fendi show, with a green silk top under a windowpane check blazer and a sparkly green bag for a look that’s cool and summery yet pulled together.
This outfit also shows the increasing importance of menswear in the fashion category: for one thing, it’s really influencing womenswear.
Gingham Suit, Outside Gucci
OK, this was not actually this week’s menswear show, since alas I am not in Milan at this moment, but still: the look is great for summer. The saffron yellow tie really pops, and all-over gingham is a bold move.
Meredith Melling Burke at Theyskens’ Theory
Wide, pleated trousers like these on Meredith Melling Burke continue to appear on runways for resort 2014 – a worthwhile investment. And I’m a sucker for the raffia bag, a beachwear classic.
