Arizona Muse at Jason Wu
Model-of-the-moment Arizona Muse emerged from the Jason Wu show in hair and makeup – and a black coat with leather edging.
Jenna Lyons at Prabal Gurung
Jenna Lyons looked fabulous at Saturday’s Prabal Gurung show. She combined a jean jacket with beautiful brushed silk colorblock pants and electric blue suede heels. The key accessories? Her glasses and a clip-on keychain. This as down-to-earth as high fashion gets.
Ruby Aldridge, Outside Milk Studios
Ruby Aldridge wore inky black from head to toe on the way to a fitting at Milk Studios. The leather jacket is tough but so beautifully tailored. Obviously she’s got the looks to be one of the top models of NY Fashion Week, but the real reason to love her is for her personality: funny, rebellious and super cool.
Kate Lanphear at Alexander Wang
Here’s another look in all black: Kate Lanphear in a fur trim coat and Louboutin lace-up boots, after the Alexander Wang show. Though so many designers are moving towards color, especially for spring, all black will always be a thing in fashion. It’s just iconic, and Lanphear is one of the women who made it that way.
David Thielebeule and Treena Lombardo at Jason Wu
These two Allure editors are so stylish separately but even more stylish together. David Thielebeule and Treena Lombardo both wore expertly layered looks to yesterday’s Jason Wu show. Love all the texture on him and the play on proportions in her outfit.
White Pom Pom Hat and Fur Coat, Outside Costello Tagliapietro
Here’s another adorable look from Day One of NY Fashion Week, which makes me wonder: Is cute the new edgy? A knit pom pom hat adds a playful finish to a high-low look of fur coat, button down shirt and Givenchy bag.
Addendum: She is Violaine Bernard.
White Jeans and Plaid Coat, Outside BCBG
Garance Doré tweeted yesterday that her surprise winter staple has been white jeans. Indeed, if Michael Kors had anything to do with it, we would all wear white jeans all the time. Here they look great and springy with a colorful plaid coat and red bag, outside the BCBG show at Lincoln Center.
Monika Chiang FW 2012
There are new designers, and then there are new designers whose clothes are loved by models – and God bless you if you fall into the latter camp. Monika Chiang’s clothes are already a wardrobe staple for several Hollywood celebs – her first stores opened out in L.A. Now they’re a favorite of models like Elettra Wiedemann, who wore several of Chiang’s designs during a recent Refinery 29 photo shoot and at yesterday’s presentation in her official role as muse for the fall collection.
The fall collection was notable for its shoes, which ranged from flats to wildly studded high tops to death-defying stilettos made with a gilded metal spike. Jackets and vests made of fur, suede, wool felt and leather – or often a combination of two – were particularly luscious yet practical for city living. (more…)
