Multicolored Dress, Outside DVF
Love the mash-up of color and texture, also the juxtaposition of very modern-looking dress with a vintage handbag.

Bryanboy at Preen
The color of his pants (Jil Sander, I think?) isn’t exactly red – more of an ’80s neon, like something out of a Michael Mann set. Brilliantly over the top with a white fur vest.

Trend Report: Seeing Red
Red is a given around Valentine’s Day, but this year at NY Fashion Week the trend has been more pronounced. Vibrant, saturated cherry red is showing up everywhere, particularly in accessories. The color was also a major part of yesterday’s Diane von Furstenberg fall 2011 show, so don’t expect it to disappear come February 15th. (more…)

Emmanuelle Alt made her fashion week debut as the new editor of French Vogue at Saturday’s Prabal Gurung show. An all-black palette and chic military double-breasted coat telegraphed all business to the crowd.

Long Floral Skirt and Turban, Prabal Gurung
Spotted after the Prabal Gurung show in front of the Empire Hotel, this girl has amazing personal style. A long silk floral skirt mixed with shearling booties, hoop earrings and a turban – red! velvet! affixed with a brooch! – it’s very outré, original bohemian chic.

Hilary Alexander at Prabal Gurung
The Telegraph’s famous fashion correspondent wore an beautifully embroidered Byzantine-style coat to Prabal Gurung’s show. With the fur hat and scarf and a black and crimson floral dress underneath, she conjures up turn-of-the-last-century Russia.

Charlotte Kemp Muhl Performs, Rebecca Minkoff
The bohemian life of Charlotte Kemp Muhl was the inspiration for Rebecca Minkoff’s fall 2011 show – and she and Sean Lennon put on a live performance before and during the show. Kemp Muhl wore a beautiful long silk dress in rust colored floral. The collection itself featured some great coats and jackets, a fab silk leopard jumpsuit, and of course, lots of yummy bags in saturated autumn colors like hunter green and eggplant.

Camel Coat and Knotted Scarf, Rebecca Minkoff
An adorable look outside the Rebecca Minkoff show. The cuffed and pleated khakis, penny loafers, sunglasses and scarf knotted on her head are very 1950s, and the denim shirt and camel coat are very right now.

Nautica Collection, AW 2011
Nautica’s fall 2011 collection was inspired by the Sleeping Bear Dunes region of Lake Michigan and showed a pitch-perfect eye for colors derived from boating. Pops of “safety orange” color should be popular next fall and winter; on the water, this is the exact color of the inflatable marks used in racing. I like the idea of taking the eye-catching quality of something so integral and practical and incorporating it into everyday clothing. The slate grays are also an excellent match for the pebbly Lake Michigan shoreline. (more…)

Layers of Gray, Nautica
Though in my last post I complained about the sea of gray at NY Fashion Week, I’m now going to do a 180 and post this photo of a guy in gray. Why? Because saying one thing and turning around and doing the opposite is so fashion, darling!
But really: one advantage of a neutral palette is that it brings the focus to texture and material, like this chunky knit sweater under a herringbone wool coat and a plaid hat. The unzipped patent leather boots keep it from getting too conservative.

Striped Scarf, Jason Wu
Love this splash of color and tortoise shell sunglasses in a sea of black and gray. Also, the more shows you have to attend in a single day, the smarter it is to wear jeans!

Casablanca Look, Rachel Comey
The wide-brimmed hat, dark lipstick, vintage bag and a flared wool trench are so Ingrid Bergman in “Casablanca.” Bringing a little 1940s mystery to modern-day fashion.

Fur Hat and Fisherman’s Sweater, Rachel Comey
I love the mix in this outfit, and it’s something we’re seeing more and more. A fancy fur hat gets dressed down with a swingy wool coat and fisherman’s sweater, but then the bright silk scarf elevates the whole look again. Also: more lace-up boots, red lipstick.

Joanna Hillman at Rachel Comey
The ever-fashionable Joanna Hillman of Harper’s Bazaar arrived at yesterday’s Rachel Comey show. Note the new, longer skirt length! And the green coat with an oversize fur collar is a winner. Also note the difference in shoes: many fashion editors are eschewing last year’s teetering stiletto platforms for more practical lace-up boots and a chunkier heel.
