Throwback Thursday: Amanda Murphy in the Paris Metro
One day during Paris fall/winter 2013 fashion week last February, some photographer friends and I got on the metro to go to the next show and saw the most beautiful girl just sitting there. She was obviously a model, but none of us had laid eyes upon her before. When we introduced ourselves, she said she had only been in one show so far: Prada, which had an exclusive arrangement with her to open and close that show.
That was Amanda Murphy, and in a mere seven months she has become one of the top 20 models in the world, appearing in Prada print ads and numerous runway shows this past fashion week. I don’t know if she still takes the metro anymore, but we’ll be looking for her.

Tina Leung in Viktor & Rolf
Colorblocking has gone black and white for fall, with designers like Viktor & Rolf issuing dresses, pants and jackets in bold black and white sections. Tina Leung wore a suit by the designers on the day of their couture show in Paris.

Hanne Gaby Odiele, After Giambattista Valli
The rest of the world may be on vacation, but some of us are already obsessing over spring/summer 2014 fashion week, which begins less than two weeks from today (!). For models and photographers, fashion week involves a lot of running around – literally. A sportif look like Hanne Gaby’s after the Giambattista Valli show is both comfortable and chic. Supreme New York floral hoodie, black skinny jeans, custom Nikes and a Valentino bag would take you from show to show – to show to show to show! – in style.

Sculptural Necklace and Black Dress, Outside Ulyana Sergeenko Couture
Black and white has traditionally been a popular choice during transitional months like September, when the weather’s still warm but the arrival of fall calls for darker colors. One guest at the Ulyana Sergeenko couture show in Paris worked the theme with a black dress, black and white sunglasses and amazing sculptural necklace.

Kate Lanphear at Chanel Couture
A look forward into fall on Kate Lanphear, seen here at the Chanel couture show: Lace motifs, dark florals, tailored black pants, and black open-toe boots are all hitting stores now and a good bet for fall. And Lanphear’s signature black Ray Ban Wayfarers never go out of style.

Two Rainy Day Looks, Outside Marni
A rainy day is no excuse to slouch in the style department: just make sure you have an excellent umbrella. In the cold rain outside the Marni show in Milan, Eleanora Carisi and Candela Novembre looked chic in Marni S/S 2013 outfits. Novembre’s bag is Prada, the umbrella is Chanel. And before you ditch all your platform shoes in favor of the flat soles in stores now, remember, they’re the fashionista’s version of rain boots. Detail shot of that bag, after the jump.

JJ Martin at Balmain
This is how to wear brights right now: by pairing them with neutrals, as J.J. Martin did at the Balmain show in Paris. Martin has really mastered the ladylike look, bringing adult polish to trends and making them her own. To wit: the discreet black shoes and bag that finish off the outfit, after the jump. (more…)

Two Spring Looks at Diesel Black Gold
Two editors at the Diesel Black Gold show put together great outfits for spring, pairing pale cotton pants with bright colors or prints on top. Note the cropped length of the pants: it’s sexy and chic to show a little ankle, especially with heels.

Leaf Greener in Louis Vuitton
Elle’s Leaf Greener wore Louis Vuitton to the show this spring in Paris. Black and white stripes like this are a bold graphic statement – wear them if you dare! The jacket and skirt look even cuter with the black and white checked sunglasses.

Doina Ciobanu at Gucci
At the Gucci show in Milan, blogger Doina Ciobanu of the Golden Diamonds wore a print that riffed on the popular vertical black and white Louis Vuitton stripes. Here the print is abstract and cut on the diagonal – very cool.
