Anna Dello Russo in Prada


We’ve all been waiting to see Prada’s spring race car-themed collection in person, and here it is, on Anna Dello Russo in Milan. The race car imagery and flame-licked heels are over-the-top fabulous, just like Anna. Shoe shot after the jump.  (more…)

Julia Sarr-Jamois at Alberta Ferretti


Julia Sarr Jamois is an expert rule-breaker. At Alberta Ferretti she wore a baby blue jacket printed with cartoon surfers and palm trees. Mix that with gray trousers, a leopard bag and discreet black and white pumps and you have something completely irreverent – and genius. Detail shot after the jump.  (more…)

Elisa Nalin at Gucci

She has such a painterly eye for color and pattern. Gorgeous! And notice she’s wearing the color of the moment: oxblood, seen in a lot of FW2012 collections.

Wide Brim Fedora, Outside Gucci

Gucci’s increasingly pervasive influence in fashion is evident in the shape of this hat, which, though I think it’s Borsalino, not Gucci, echoes the FW2011 collection from the storied Italian house. Though Frida Giannini cited the ’70s as a major influence for that collection, I can’t help but see 1940s menswear in the wide brimmed fedora and the wide lapels on her tweed coat. Yet the whole effect is super feminine.

Ruby Aldridge at Ports 1961

You may have already seen this image in some incarnation or other, since there were a lot of us street style photographers on the scene, but I just love model Ruby Aldridge. The idea to pose on the railing outside the Ports 1961 show, with the monolithic New York Public Library rising behind her, was actually hers. What an eye. The hat is Rag & Bone.

Meredith Melling Burke at Ports 1961

More white pants in February, this time on Vogue‘s Meredith Melling Burke, in a flared style that goes well with a simple camel coat. The look is luxe but classic.

Preppy Fashion, Outside Ralph Lauren

Preppy fashion is always at home at a Ralph Lauren show. It’s risky to belt a navy puffer vest, worn over a black and white print sweater and yet another layer underneath, yet somehow the whole look comes together beautifully.

All Over Florals, Outside Rodarte

Florals from head to toe have never looked as good as they do this season, especially in pants suits. A distressed leather jacket makes the outfit more edgy than garden party.

Mary Alice Stephenson in All White at Carolina Herrera

Mary Alice Stephenson arrived at Monday’s Carolina Herrera show in glamorous all white – flared pants, fur vest, and an ivory blouse. She’s one of several trendsetters to wear all white for spring this New York Fashion Week.

Liz Cabral in an Orange Coat, Outside Derek Lam

Flare‘s Fashion Director Liz Cabral wore a fluorescent orange Joe Fresh coat to Sunday’s Derek Lam show. Bright, fluorescent pops of color have been a continuing motif this season, either as accessories mixed with black or neutral colors or as one big statement piece, like this fantastic coat.

Sarah Rutson at Rag & Bone

Sarah Rutson, fashion director of Hong Kong’s Lane Crawford, wore green silk Dries van Noten pants and a black leather jacket to Friday’s Rag & Bone show. It’s a great example of a glamorous, versatile day-to-night outfit, a necessity for fashion week days that don’t end until 10pm or later.

Hamish Bowles at Victoria Beckham

The ever-dapper Hamish Bowles emerged from Sunday’s Victoria Beckham show in a deep blue double breasted suit, moss green scarf and light gray overcoat. He’s never been one to shy away from color.

All White, Outside Theyskens' Theory

On the opposite end of the spectrum: all white, which should be a big look for spring. She isn’t wearing a pantsuit but a combination of white jacket, tee and jeans for a more relaxed interpretation of this monochromatic look.
