Frida Aasen Outside Milk Studios
Here’s another new model I love: Frida Aasen, who walked in several big shows this fashion week. Outside Milk Studios, she wore black leather shorts, a white top, and a favorite accessory of models this fall: limited-edition Beats by Dre headphones.
Kelly Framel in Black and White, Outside BCBG
The Glamourai‘s Kelly Framel wore great black and white star spangled pants and a black and white blouse to the BCBG show. Black and white is perfect for transitional times like the present as summer shifts into fall.
Virginia Smith in Black and White
And…. we’re off! The first full day of New York Fashion Week always has that first day of school feel to it. It’s good to see some familiar faces, like the ever-chic Virginia Smith of Vogue, who attended this morning’s BCBG Max Azria show dressed in black and white. Loved the monochromatic palette as transitional wear into fall and the animal print pants.
Black and White Stripes, Madison Avenue
Mixing a Chanel-esque black and white striped jacket with black leather shorts creates a great hi-lo effect for summer weekdays. The YSL tote was a New York Fashion Week giveaway. I also became obsessed with her sunglasses and hunted them down online. Looks like they are Super Sunglasses in “Lucia,” available here.
Street Chic: All White Maternity Look
Not surprisingly, all white outfits have been a popular choice during the blisteringly hot summer of 2012. But I especially like how this woman on Madison Avenue interpreted all white for maternity with a long white cotton skirt and crochet tank top. The black and white Chanel bag is the icing on the cake.
Chen Ran in Black and White, Outside Chloe
Another beautiful white dress, this time cinched with a black belt, looks fabulous on Chen Ran outside the Chloe show in Paris. Love the sunglasses too.
Street Chic: Black and White Polka Dot Dress, Astor Place
This look is just the right combination of feminine and edgy for a summer day in the East Village. More and more women are wearing boots instead of sandals with dresses and skirts. Not only is it fashionable, it’s a good way to deal with potential bad weather.
Bralet and Short Shorts, Bonnaroo
To beat the heat on the steamy first day of Bonnaroo, many guests wore not much at all. Better to opt for a cute bralet and short shorts like these, however, than just a bikini. It’s a way to keep cool but stay dressed.
White Maxi Skirt, Veuve Clicquot Polo Classic
I liked the bohemian look of this flared white cotton maxi skirt with a slim black tank top at the Veuve Clicquot Polo Classic. She’s paired it with red ballet flats and a headband made of faux cherries. I’ve been seeing several whimsical headbands like this around lately. They’re often made by the wearer.
Erin Wasson in Antonio Azzuolo, 2012 CFDA Awards
While there weren’t as many menswear looks on women as at last year’s CFDA Awards, model Erin Wasson went black tie with a black and white suit by CFDA-nominated designer Antonio Azzuolo.
Tomato Red Maxi Skirt, Parsons MFA
A brightly colored, sheer maxi skirt like this one from Topshop goes easily from daytime to an after-work party. Anna, a guest at the Parsons First Eighteen exhibit, paired it with simple black and white on top, but the suede platform sandals add another pop of color.
Taylor Tomasi Hill in Black and White Stripes
Bill Cunningham’s column this weekend reminded me of this photo from the Louis Vuitton show – Taylor Tomasi Hill in graphic black and white stripe pants. It’s a particularly daring look made even more so with a black leather corset under that jacket. Black and white is perfect for this time of year, when we’re finally starting to transition to the all white looks of summer.
Viviana Volpicella with a Bunny iPhone Case
Here’s some Easter inspiration for you: the fashion crowd has been going wild for these adorable bunny ear iPhone cases by Rabito. Viviana Volpicella carried one and accessorized with lots of bracelets outside the Viktor & Rolf show in Paris. Full length shot of her, after the jump. (more…)
Caroline Issa at Marni
Loved this houndstooth jacket and top and neon red pants on Caroline Issa at Marni. If you ever want to know what the fashion world is up to at any given moment, follow her entertaining feed on Twitter.
Susie Lau at Cushnie et Ochs
Style Bubble’s Susie Lau wore a black and white windowpane check skirt and jacket, a Glamour X Opening Ceremony cat sweater and cat sunglasses to the Cushnie et Ochs show. It’s a very modern outfit with a vintage Audrey Hepburn vibe.
