Sailor Stripes, Outside Louis Vuitton
Keep an eye out for this woman, because she attracted the attention of many street style photographers outside the Louis Vuitton show in Paris. The look is effortlessly cool, even laid back: sailor striped shirt paired with a double breasted navy blazer, white pants and blue “flatform” shoes. And yet everything hits the right note. I like that her hair is a bit mussed – it keeps the whole thing from looking too done.
Addendum: These are the Prada flatforms that are getting so much flak from non-admirers. They actually look perfectly good in real life.

Susie Lau at Lanvin
Style Bubble’s Susie Lau, aka Susie Bubble, was beautifully and quixotically attired all week, often opting for emerging designers or vintage when everyone else went for the big established names. At Lanvin in the Tuileries she wore a palette of grays, pinks and blues, spring’s new neutrals.

Pink Hat and Fur Coat, Outside Lanvin
First off, the hat is great. How often do you see this wide-brimmed Australia outback style hat in the color pink? And paired with this embellished shaggy fur coat, leggings and ’50s style heels, the whole thing cuts a beautiful silhouette. She’s about to ride off into the Paris fashion week sunset. (more…)

Zig Zag Tunic, Outside Zac Posen
A zigzag tunic, turban and fuchsia lipstick all add up to a modern day femme fatale outside the Zac Posen show in Paris. The turban is actually an intricate hat of woven, black lacquered straw – detail shot after the jump. (more…)

Black and White, Outside Chanel
One of my favorite things about French fashion is that it is often art for art’s sake. Do you need to put on a black tulle headpiece before you go out in the morning? No. Do you need to wear black and white from head to toe to summon up the essence of Coco Chanel outside the Chanel show? Yes. And P.S., I’m not sure that this she is actually a she, but she’s amazing either way.

Emmanuelle Alt at Valentino
Love this look. It’s the perfect mix of high and low, with the beautifully tailored zippered jacket and the laid back plaid shirt and faded jeans. Very rock and roll, very Emmanuelle Alt.

White Grecian Dress and Flocked Coat, Outside Chloe
A gorgeous white Grecian dress and white sleeveless flocked coat made up this look in head-to-toe white outside Monday’s Chloe show. Very arresting, particularly in the saturated light of the Tuileries.

Red Silk Tunic and Pants, Outside Costume National
A fabulous pop of fuchsia-red silk mixes nicely with the dove gray fur coat in this study in of color and texture. Très chic.

Barbara Martelo at Viktor & Rolf
Definitely one of the coolest chicks in the fashion world, stylist Barbara Martelo arrived in a faded denim jacket embellished with metal stars for the Viktor & Rolf show. Click through to see the back of the jacket, which I think is Balmain. (more…)

Navy Knit Suit, Outside Sonia Rykiel
This British model/actress who attended the Sonia Rykiel show would look good in nearly anything, but there’s one lesson we could all take away: head-to-toe navy looks much more interesting and fresh for spring than head-to-toe black. A sleek adaptation of the nautical trend.

Yasmin Sewell at Isabel Marant
The devil is in the details, and street style star Yasmin Sewell is the master of the little details that make an ensemble really gorgeous. Love the unfinished hems of the tweed coat, the chunky belt, the giraffe-print bag arranged cross body just so, the pop of a bright yellow beaded necklace and the finishing touch of cool shades (Karen Walker?).

Kanye West and Anna Dello Russo at Sonia Rykiel
This was one of the most dramatic entrances at the Sonia Rykiel show yesterday at Place de la Concorde: Kanye West and Anna Dello Russo, together! We all did a double take. Kanye has been hitting a lot of the Paris fashion week shows and, by the look of his cool red kicks, has a true interest in fashion. Anna Dello Russo wears a beautiful black fur and over-the-knee patent leather boots.

Frida Gustavsson at Zac Posen
Swedish supermodel Frida Gustavsson has just as much style off the runway as on, as evidenced by the great camel cloak she wore exiting the Zac Posen show yesterday. Like nearly all the models, she kept on the exquisite makeup from the show – close up after the jump. (more…)

Girl With a Turban, Rochas
Yesterday outside the Rochas show at the Palais du Tokyo in Paris. Her whole look is great, but I particularly love the chic turban and the makeup, with an emphasis on fuchsia-pink lips and very little eye makeup – a key look for spring.
