Model Off Duty, After Moschino
In Milan, the fashion set saw inclement weather as an opportunity to break out their best winter duds. This is really a case of “when in Rome” – Italian ladies have been known to don their best fur coats just for a trip to the grocery store. After the Moschino show, a model left in a brilliant red fur coat and leather leggings.
Fur Trim Coat and Plaid Shirt at Timo Weiland
I love the mix of layers, colors and textures on this guest at the Timo Weiland show. The cherry red lipstick is the perfect finishing touch.
Olivia Palermo at Carven
Every time I see this, I get shoe envy. Over-the-knee boots are great for fall 2013, especially with a minidress like the plaid zippered Zara one Olivia Palermo wears here. And yes, that is a horde of photographers running behind her!
Evelyn Song at Chloe
Fashion blogger Evelyn Song mixed a vintage blue leopard print jacket with burgundy check Zara pants and a crop top for a cool, swingy look outside the Chloe show.
Michelle Elie at Chanel
Garage Magazine’s Michelle Elie often wears Comme des Garçons, but this sculptural white dress by the label was one of my favorite pieces. She paired it with gold disc Givenchy earrrings for more high-drama gorgeousness. Detail shot after the jump.
Blue Suede Boots, Outside Missoni
Boots: they’re one of my favorite things about fall. As sad as it may be to put away flip flops for the next seven months, there’s something eminently satisfying about stomping around in a great pair of boots, as Nancy Sinatra famously noted. A guest at the Missoni show paired these blue suede ones with black knee socks underneath for a cool peekaboo effect, mixed with a crisp black and white dress. Look for more knee-high and over-the-knee boots this fall.
Helena Bordon at Roberto Cavalli
Helena Bordon wore a cool mix of blue-and-white ikat jacket, black suede skirt and Adidas tee to the Roberto Cavalli show in Milan. The zebra-print boots are the finishing touch: not as dressy as stiletto pumps, but just as sexy and more comfortable for stomping around in all day.
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.
Grace Mahary at Dries van Noten
Welcome to Paris fashion week! Today was spring 2014 show of Dries van Noten, a favorite designer of many fashion people. Model Grace Mahary exited the show in a fringe dress and beautiful print scarf by the designer.
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.
Black and White, Outside Armani
A really cool outfit outside the Armani show this morning in Milan. I like how she has paired the black skater skirt with a sheer black top under a white leather vest to add some feminine floatiness to the look. And here again we see the new over-the-ankle type boots that will be big for fall, here in snappy black and white.
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.
Gray and White, Outside Gucci
Welcome to Milan fashion week! First show: Gucci. We’ve seen a lot of black and white on the streets this season but not a lot of gray, which may be why this elegant and sporty look in gray and white seemed like such a breath of fresh air. Also note the boots – just above the ankle is the way to go for fall.
