Seeing Spots, Outside Moschino

If you haven’t noticed, polka dots have been everywhere this fall/winter 2012, a trend that was spearheaded by Marc Jacobs with his F/W 2011 collection. Loved this metallic polka dot dress outside the Moschino show in Milan. If you do not dare to do all-over polka dots, opt for something more subtle but equally fun, like these sheer polka dot stockings by Falke.

Tiffany Hsu at Balenciaga

Hong Kong’s Lane Crawford buyer Tiffany Hsu wore the coolest blue quilted dress to the Balenciaga show. The dress designer is Chictopia (like the website but not), but it’s not available in the West. The cobalt blue suede shoes are the perfect accessory.

Miu Miu Mirror Paillette Dress, Outside Prada

On 57th Street and Fifth Avenue in New York, the shop windows are sparkling right now with rhinestone embellished shoes (Miu Miu) and mirrored backdrops for mirrored dresses (Naeem Khan at Bergdorf Goodman). This Miu Miu mirror paillette dress seen outside the Prada show would be an irreverent and fun take on holiday party dressing. The dress is sheer, but I like how she has worn black underneath to keep it simple. Pair it with sexy sheer black stockings in cold weather.  (more…)

Karlie Kloss, After Ralph Lauren

Thinking of Karlie Kloss and all the other top models who are in NYC in this terrible weather for the Victoria’s Secret fashion show. If there’s anything that could get people out of the house on a day like today, it would be the sight of Karlie and the other girls up on the runway! Here she is after the last of the NYC fashion shows, posing gamely for us street style photographers.

Karen Elson in Alexander Wang, Outside the Show

Here’s another famous beauty for you: Karen Elson, who arrived at the Alexander Wang show in a white dress by the designer. She has the most gorgeous alabaster skin and is even prettier in person.

Yellow Hermes Dress, After the Show

This girl works for Hermès, and she came out after the show in a brilliant yellow dress by the design house. The boots and bag are also Hermès. Love saturated color like this for autumn.

Leigh Lezark in Kenzo

Keep an eye out for the newly-reinvigorated brand Kenzo. Ever since Opening Ceremony’s Humberto Leon and Carol Lim took the helm as creative directors last year, Kenzo has been gaining visibility in editorial and ad pages – and also in real life on fashion industry folk. We saw numerous Kenzo sweatshirts on the editors this past fashion week, and at the Viktor & Rolf show in the Tuileries, Leigh Lezark work an intricately pleated Kenzo dress that looked particularly beautiful in motion.

Susie Lau at Chloe

Layering dresses over pants was a big trend on the runway for fall 2012, but few have been able to carry it off in real life as well as Susie Lau of Style Bubble. Outside the Chloe show she mixed prints in bright red and blue with a blue cardigan, two handbags and red Valentino shoes.

Black Lace Dolce & Gabbana Dress, Outside the Show

One of several sheer black lace dresses outside the Dolce & Gabbana show. While the transparency is probably one of the main things that would catch an American’s eye, the whole concept is a subversion of traditional widow’s garb and therefore much more controversial in Italy.

Ulyana Sergeenko at Dolce & Gabbana

One of my favorite Russians has arrived back on the scene, fashion designer Ulyana Sergeenko. Here she is in a black velvet dress of her own design outside the Dolce & Gabbana show.

Russian ingenue Oksana On has been designing her own line of dresses with very pretty results. Here she is twirling around in a red chiffon strapless dress of her own design outside the Emporio Armani show.

Lauren Remington Platt in Zac Posen

Loved this combination of moss green and bright red on Lauren Remington Platt, who wore Zac Posen to the designer’s show during New York Fashion Week. The jacket and above-the-knee skirt length are a great example of how versatile eveningwear has become now.

And that necklace…. to die for.

Natalie Joos at Reed Krakoff

Natalie Joos traveled by bike to yesterday’s Reed Krakoff show, taking a cue from Catherine Baba. And I have no idea what brands she’s wearing – I just think she’s super cute!
