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.
Kelly Moreira at the Grand Palais
My friend Claudia of Mode Majeure and I were struck by the beauty of new model Kelly Moreira when we spotted her by the metro station outside the Grand Palais. She had just walked the Dior couture show and stopped to pose for us in this cool black and white outfit, perfect for Paris. She had only done a couple of modeling jobs so far, but one was an ad campaign for Gap. Keep an eye out for her!
Sofia Sanchez in Mary Katrantzou
I loved what Sofia Sanchez wore to last week’s couture shows, especially this colorful print dress by Mary Katrantzou at the Dior couture show. This was on a very hot day, and she still managed to look calm, cool and quite chic.
Catherine Baba at Dior
Stylist Catherine Baba made an entrance at the Dior couture show, biking up in platform heels and a silk Chinese robe.
Karl-Edwin Guerre at Dior
Menswear is becoming an increasingly big part of the retail market, and this week marks the start of men’s SS2014 fashion week with shows in London. Here are a few looks from the archives of great menswear on the streets. Photographer Karl-Edwin Guerre sported a great summer look of yellow madras pants, brown straw fedora, blue button down and matching blue oxfords outside the Dior show.
Giovanna Battaglia at Dior
Outside the Dior show in Paris, Giovanna Battaglia spun around in a beautiful silk floral coat on loan from Rochas. The coat was just off the runway from the fall/winter 2013 Rochas show the day before.
Men in Sunglasses, Outside Dior
Today marks the start of Pitti Uomo, a huge menswear trade and fashion show in Florence, and while alas I will not be there, this will be the week of men’s fashion. The men of fashion week are always so dapperly attired that when D. asks me what to wear to a fashion week party to “blend in,” I am at a total loss. This sort of attention to detail is not something that can be taken on lightly. Witness these two gentlemen outside the Dior show, the pants, jackets, shirts and scarves so beautifully coordinated, the shoes buffed to a high gloss, their retro shades a nod back to the ’20s. And at fashion week, this is “typical.”
Natalia Vadianova at Valentino
Model Natalia Vadianova caused quite a stir when she appeared at the Valentino show in Paris. Here she is exiting the show in a black brocade dress with a Dior bag. Love the fun yellow sunglasses she donned to shield herself from the paparazzi, Jackie O-style.
Roxane Mesquida at Dior
Gossip Girl actress Roxane Mesquida almost escaped unseen outside Dior, where she was partially disguised by a big floppy teal hat. Love the mix of saturated jewel-tone colors that are very big for fall 2011. The bag is Dior.
Kate Lanphear in Black and White at Dior
Here’s another black and white look – Kate Lanphear at Dior in le smoking. The menswear inspired pumps are also black and white. Perfection.
Ulyana Sergeenko at Christian Dior
Russian designer Ulyana Sergeenko arrived at yesterday’s Christian Dior show in a sweeping black tulle gown. A dramatic entrance indeed! I also loved the vintage needlepoint clutch she carried. If you have a grandmother who liked to needlepoint, you may have one of these in your own fashion archives. Detail shot, after the jump. (more…)
Emmanuelle Alt New Editor in Chief of French Vogue
French Vogue staffer Emmanuelle Alt has been named the new editor in chief of French Vogue, according to WWD. Condé Nast France chairman Xavier Romatet has said “not to expect any radical change at the title.” But the real question is: what will she wear in her new position? Alt is adored for her cool girl, casual style.
Let’s hope she won’t ditch the motorcycle jackets for head-to-toe Dior just yet!
Carine: A Style Retrospective
While we’re sure she must have something interesting up her sleeve, it’s devastating to see Carine Roitfeld leave French Vogue. In her position as EIC there, she attended dozens of fashion shows every season with grace and amazing style.
At Calvin Klein SS2010
Fortunately, she didn’t surround herself with bodyguards (note to Anna: photographers just want your picture, they’re not trying to kill you), so it was easy to observe her fabulous outfits, which were sexy, playful, ladylike and always paired with killer shoes and boots. Her creative approach and artist’s eye will be sorely missed in the front row.
More photos after the jump!
Christian Dior SS2011
Apologies in advance for the number of photos from this show – 32 – but there was so much great fashion outside Dior! First we had many of the key players for Paris Fashion Week dressed to the nines, then a promenade of models leaving the show – several of them in black leather leggings, the garb of choice for models this fall. If you’ve got legs….
Carine Roitfeld with Mario Sorrenti. I love how she mixes this leopard coat with purple lace-up shoes – unexpected and fun. (more…)
Christian Dior
How many generations of fashionable Parisians have taken a turn around the Tuileries to show off their exquisite clothes? The tradition continues, with editors, buyers and chic Christian Dior customers walking from the Place de la Concorde to the tent that housed Friday’s Dior show.
One thing is very different from olden times – there are many more photographers! (more…)
