Backless Top, Outside Donna Karan SS2015
It’s true: you can actually expose your skin to the air this week without fear of frostbite. Who knew this day would ever come?! A top with a few strategic cut outs is a good way to ease into the idea of warm weather after a grueling winter.
Irene Kim at DKNY FW2015
Will this long New York winter ever end?! Apparently not! But here’s some more sartorial inspiration for you. Irene Kim warmed us all up with a dose of color outside the DKNY show on a freezing cold day.
Rebel With a Cause: Ken Downing at DKNY FW2015
Neiman Marcus’ fashion director Ken Downing wore minimalist black with blue mirrored sunglasses while traveling from show to show in NYC.
DKNY Jeans, Outside the Derek Lam Show
I had a dream last night about these DKNY jeans covered with decals, seen here on Dani Stahl outside the Derek Lam show, so I figured it was time to run the photo. A Valentino clutch and Fendi fur keyring add to the fun.
Kate Dimmock at DKNY
In case you are not Karolina Kurkova or Susie Bubble, here’s a lesson on how to wear leather sweatpants, as demonstrated by Kate Dimmock of People Style Watch. It’s all about balance – mixing the sporty pants with a professional camel coat and a nice bit of tweed print on her top. The leopard print sandals add a little more fun.
Karlie Kloss at Donna Karan FW2011
More Throwback Thursdays: Sometimes I look back at old photos and realize I didn’t know what I had, like this photo of Karlie Kloss from Valentine’s Day in 2011. It was before she hit megastardom as a model, and though the bag is Dior, I love how she’s just in regular jeans and scuffed up boots.
Candice Lake at Donna Karan
Photographer (and ex-model – can you tell?!) Candice Lake sported this great 3.1 Phillip Lim I [Heart] Nueva York tee to the Donna Karan show at NY Fashion Week. It’s especially cute paired with printed jeans and a red hat. The fur coat is Hockley London.
Winter Layers, Outside Donna Karan
This model off duty wore a layered look of skirt, sweater, coat and matching bag exiting the Donna Karan show. Just leaving a coat unbuttoned can make an outfit more interesting on milder winter days.
Mary Alice Stephenson
Mary Alice Stephenson changed up a basic black coat with a leopard print jacket and geometric disc necklace. Lace up boots are sexy enough for fashion week, but sturdy enough for snow.
Kasia Struss in a Tweed Coat
As tempting as it may be to envelop yourself in a sleeping bag-like coat every day this winter, cloth versions like Kasia Struss’ are a better choice whenever the weather permits. Here she leaves the Donna Karan show in a tweed coat with a rose in hand.
Photographer in a Southwestern Print, Outside Donna Karan
One of fashion week’s most stylish photographers mixes a red Southwestern print jacket with a black puffer coat, tweed scarf and studded biker boots, and it all works beautifully together.
Susie Lau in Prints and Color, Outside Donna Karan
Influence goes many ways when it comes to fashion. When critics like the NY Times‘ Cathy Horyn point out the profusion of prints and color in Spring 2012 collections, you can’t help but wonder if it started not on the runway, but with trendsetters like Style Bubble‘s Susie Lau, who wore wild print and color combinations long before they appeared in mainstream collections.
Wearable for the average Jane, 24/7? Maybe not. But color and print are a sort of visual daring, and the eye – and the camera – can’t help but be attracted to them.
Joanna Hillman at Donna Karan
Joanna Hillman looked particularly glamorous at the Donna Karan show in a long, silver sequined skirt by J.Crew. It works beautifully for daytime when paired with a black blazer.
Grace Coddington at Donna Karan
Grace Coddington. It is always amazing to see her face to face like this – she still has such mesmerizing, powerful beauty. I think the scarf is Louis Vuitton.
Donna Karan SS2011
Quintessential New York designer Donna Karan received rave reviews for her last collection, and her latest show this past Monday was a big draw on the fashion week circuit. Chic business attire was the look for this weekday show.
“Greige” is slated to be the It color for fall 2010, as with this grayish-beige dress with sculptural folds, bag and knotted sandals. (more…)
