Jessica Hart at the Hotel Westin Paris
This was one of my favorite moments of Paris fashion week. We were walking by the Hotel Westin when we noticed this beautiful girl standing outside with her dog. It was model Jessica Hart in a pink lace Valentino dress, about to go to the Valentino show in the Tuileries. Just your average moment of incredible glamour in Paris.
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.
Anna Wintour at Ralph Lauren
Anna Wintour wore some beautiful print dresses during NY fashion week, but I have to say I love her in Chanel. At yesterday’s Ralph Lauren show, she mixed a black and white, pink-flecked Chanel suit with a plain white tee – very daring for her! – and a gorgeous Georgian collet necklace.
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.
Kate Lanphear at Chanel Couture
A look forward into fall on Kate Lanphear, seen here at the Chanel couture show: Lace motifs, dark florals, tailored black pants, and black open-toe boots are all hitting stores now and a good bet for fall. And Lanphear’s signature black Ray Ban Wayfarers never go out of style.
Sul Gi at Chanel Couture
Sul Gi, an aspiring designer who made quite an impression on Susie Bubble, wore this great vintage-inspired outfit to the Chanel Couture show.
In the Pink: Anya Ziourova at Chanel Couture
Crop tops with tails were a popular sartorial choice at the couture shows in Paris. Anya Ziourova wore this version in pink to the Chanel show. The back is even more dramatic – detail shot, after the jump. (more…)
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.
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.
Caroline Brasch Nielsen at Chanel
After walking the Chanel couture show, model Caroline Brasch Nielsen exited in this cool workwear outfit of blue carpenter-style pants and a matching mesh top.
Simone Marchetti at Chanel
La Reppublica editor Simone Marchetti was one of the best dressed men at Paris couture, attending the Chanel show in a robin’s egg blue suit and polka dot cravat. Perfect for summer, sophisticated enough for some serious business.
Black Dress and Chanel Belt, Outside Chanel Couture
Miroslava Duma in Lanvin
One from the archives: Miroslava Duma in a green tween Lanvin tweed top and miniskirt. Love how she mixed it with an army green jacket, lots of bracelets and a delicious little Chanel bag.
Elena Perminova at Chanel
This is how to do the exposed midriff, 2013-style. Note that it is not the Jennifer Aniston early 2000’s exposed midriff with lots of skin showing. Elena Perminova paired a crop top with high waisted white pants at the Chanel show and looked perfectly elegant. Heels and high waisted pants or skirts are the key to wearing crop tops now.
