Julia Frakes at Oscar de la Renta
Love the real life “Gossip Girl” style of Julia Frakes in a prep school blazer with a white cotton dress and tights at the Oscar de la Renta show. According to her tumblr blog Julia Bunny (formerly Bunny Bisous), the dress, tights, and shoes are Chloë Sevigny for Opening Ceremony, the blazer is Topshop with a vintage pin, the sunglasses are Karen Walker.
Here’s another photo of her in a great outfit at last season’s Oscar show.

Khaki and Orange, Outside Viktor & Rolf
Orange is popping up everywhere in spring fashion. This jolt of color is surprisingly versatile when you pair it with neutrals like khaki.

Prada Monkey Top, Outside Viktor & Rolf
Prada’s spring 2011 collection has been a huge hit with buyers and editors, who wore many of Prada’s colorful stripes, fur scarves and brightly printed tops to the Paris shows. This Prada monkey print top gives new meaning to the term “animal print” and has been just as coveted as the leopard prints of fall.

Caroline Issa at Viktor & Rolf
Speaking of pointy collars, fashion editor Caroline Issa of Tank Magazine also wore a pointy-collared shirt to the Viktor & Rolf show. Even if an exquisitely embroidered blouse like this one is not in the cards for you, a plain white collared shirt will also do the trick. Also, love the mirrored sunglasses and pink lipstick! Full length view including shoes after the jump. (more…)

Spring Color in Cold Weather, Outside Chloe
Yes, it is annoying that the cold continues even when it should be spring. But wearing a black parka in March makes the weather more depressing for us all. Here’s a great example of how to stay warm and look springlike: lighten up the colors and layer them. Outside the Chloe show, this woman expertly mixed texture and pattern in a light palette of blues and beiges. Also, note the pointy collar peeking out over a sweater – a detail being adopted by a few super chic ladies right now.

Leigh Lezark at Olivier Theyskens’ Theory
Such a cool mix of high and street fashion. The tee says “Olivier,” the bag and sunglasses are Chanel.

7 Days of Anna Dello Russo
Rarely do you see anyone have as much fun with fashion as Anna Dello Russo. Just when we thought she couldn’t top the last outrageously fashionable outfit during Paris fashion week, she would arrive in a completely different ensemble, having gone back to the hotel to change between shows. She favors designers from her native Italy and doesn’t shy from color or pattern. I can’t imagine how she packs the variety of headpieces, boots, suits, furs, jewels and dresses it takes for a single week, but I picture a couple of Louis Vuitton steamer trunks in her hotel room. Hats off to this over-the-top fashion plate who radiates chic sunshine wherever she goes. A seven-day roundup, after the jump. (more…)

Man in a Plastic Chapeau, Costume National
This outfit is not for the faint of heart, but I found it utterly fascinating. He kind of looks like a young Prince (the artist known as) in a dramatic clear plastic hat, the white shirt tufted with roses, vintage bag and oversize stopwatch. Gender-bending genius.

Red Blazer and White Jeans, Costume National
I have been neglecting to post photos of the men of fashion week, but many were impeccably dressed, like this guy. This is how the spring color trend can play out beautifully for men: a bright red blazer paired with a purple v-neck and white jeans (which many men are already wearing now) and luxe leather accessories. Perfection.

Natasha Poly and Sasha Pivovarova at Chanel
To clarify: Not all models off duty dress fabulously. The standard uniform for the past couple years has been biker jackets, skinny jeans and biker boots – sexy at first, until it got boring. This season several of the top girls are breaking the mold, wearing more layers and texture, mixing up skirts and pants and interesting coats. Natasha Poly and Sasha Pivovarova, just off the Chanel runway, exemplify the look that Lagerfeld showed for the Fall 2011 collection, as Style.com‘s Tim Blanks put it: “mixing the street with enough high fashion fantasy to make the result seem rich and strange.”

Stella McCartney Skirt, Tuileries
The Tuileries during Paris fashion week can be like a fashion magazine come to life – especially when you see guests wearing clothes just featured in the latest Vogue. This beautiful silk lemon-patterned Stella McCartney skirt looks even better in person. Love how she ties the whole thing together with unabashed color.

Sarah Rutson at Chloe
Fashion bellwether and Lane Crawford buyer Sarah Rutson has been wearing a lot of stripes, and you know what that means: everyone else will be wearing a lot of stripes very soon. This chic outfit combines two stripe patterns, fishnets and lace-up heels in Rutson’s signature mix of sporty and sexy.
Addendum: She is in Prada SS 2011 – though Rutson actually improved on the runway styling by mixing up the colors of the jacket and skirt!

Vika Gazinskaya at Viktor & Rolf
One of fashion’s daredevils, Russian designer Vika Gazinskaya has rarely been seen in a boring outfit. She plays with line, color, form and material, easily mixing retro – in this case, peep-toe pumps and a silk scarf tied around her hair – with cutting edge – the suit fashioned entirely out of sweatshirt jersey.

Girl in Khaki Pants, Outside Louis Vuitton
A lot of young people come to the Paris shows just to stand outside and be part of the mix. I thought this girl had great personal style with the khakis, the lace-up boots, the floral shirt under a thick cableknit cardigan and the necklace that is actually just an ordinary housekey on a chain.

Navy Blue With Polka Dots, Outside Louis Vuitton
Such a cute retro look, again in navy, with a below-the-knee pleated wool crepe skirt and jacket, accessorized with a white cap and navy envelope pouch at the belt. The polka dot blouse is also a nod to Louis Vuitton designer Marc Jacobs, who featured polka dots prominently in his namesake fall collection in New York.
