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.
Snakeskin Print Tee, Outside Derek Lam
Graphic print tees are a cool way to amp up your summer wardrobe, but building an outfit around them can be challenging. This guy at the Derek Lam show layered a snakeskin print tee over a white button down and paired it with neutral khakis and black accessories – a strategy that would work for men and women.
Zanna Roberts Rassi at Lincoln Center
Zanna Roberts Rassi cleverly layered a cross-print sundress with a black tee underneath and motorcycle jacket on top for a great combination of edgy and girly.
Two Rainy Day Looks, Outside Marni
A rainy day is no excuse to slouch in the style department: just make sure you have an excellent umbrella. In the cold rain outside the Marni show in Milan, Eleanora Carisi and Candela Novembre looked chic in Marni S/S 2013 outfits. Novembre’s bag is Prada, the umbrella is Chanel. And before you ditch all your platform shoes in favor of the flat soles in stores now, remember, they’re the fashionista’s version of rain boots. Detail shot of that bag, after the jump.
Leaf Greener in Louis Vuitton
Elle’s Leaf Greener wore Louis Vuitton to the show this spring in Paris. Black and white stripes like this are a bold graphic statement – wear them if you dare! The jacket and skirt look even cuter with the black and white checked sunglasses.
Doina Ciobanu at Gucci
At the Gucci show in Milan, blogger Doina Ciobanu of the Golden Diamonds wore a print that riffed on the popular vertical black and white Louis Vuitton stripes. Here the print is abstract and cut on the diagonal – very cool.
Anya Ziourova at Ralph Lauren
If only Kim K. would take a few fashion cues from the pregnant and very stylish Anya Ziourova, fashion director of both Tatler and Allure Russia. She wore heels this past fashion week season, yes, but otherwise stayed covered up and comfortable. Here she manages black leather pants while pregnant. A week or so later she really started to show and shifted to still stylish but even looser fitting outfits like this one. Very chic for any woman, especially a pregnant one!
Parisa at H&M
Whenever I go to parties, I’m secretly on the lookout for fashion inspiration from the other guests. Parisa, who works for H&M, mastered the sartorial mix of work and play at the H&M Conscious Collection party last week. The loose, velvet flocked black jacket has a boho flair for evening, but the crisp white blouse and printed pants (both H&M) are perfectly suitable for work. Most importantly: black ankle boots that have a heel but not too high a heel. You want to be able to work the party!
Miroslava Duma at Ralph Lauren
Now is the perfect time of year to experiment with hats. Miroslava Duma wore one of the Spanish, bolero-inspired flat topped hats from Ralph Lauren’s spring 2013 collection to the show in New York, nicely styled with her braided-edge velvet jacket half on, half off. The bag is by the Row.
Cara Delevingne at Louis Vuitton
Happy end of fashion week!
As you can imagine from these four weeks straight of fashion week photos, it’s a long haul, and by the end people get a little crazy – usually in a good way. After the Louis Vuitton, top model Cara Delevingne broke free of her security detail and sprinted across the plaza holding a blue plush head rest and jumbo bag of peanut M&Ms, gleefully mixing with teenage fans who’d waited hours to get her photo. Then, as the French security guys shouted and looked on in utter befuddlement, she did some Rockette high kicks for us in her Chanel high tops and shirt that read “Last Clean T-Shirt.” Unforgettable.

Fei Fei Sun at Chanel
Model Fei Fei Sun has always had a great sense of style and a wardrobe that seems to get more beautiful and sophisticated each season. Exiting the Chanel show, she wore an Andrew Gn white coat and carried a Chanel purse. Details including the elaborate runway glitter eyeshadow, after the jump. (more…)
Black and White Prints, Outside Badgley Mischka
Loved this all-over black and white look on a guest at the Badgley Mischka show. Detail shot of her studded minaudiere after the jump.
Michelle Elie at Lacoste
Michelle Elie of Garage Magazine wore black and white – including graphic print black and white knee socks – to the Lacoste show at Lincoln Center. Close-up of those socks, after the jump.
Mary Alice Stephenson at Victoria Beckham
Mary Alice Stephenson, who has a really fun Twitter feed if you want to follow the fashion crowd, walked through the snow in open-toe stilettos, a black and white ombre fur and statement necklace. Close up of her snakeskin clutch and gold ring, after the jump.
Anya Ziourova at Jason Wu
Russian Tatler editor Anya Ziourova wore black and white, including an optic white fur jacket and black leather top, to yesterday’s Jason Wu show.
