Giovanna Battaglia at Rochas
A really fun moment with Giovanna Battaglia outside the Rochas show in Paris. She wore a (vintage?) Alaia leopard print dress and yellow Fendi bag. Très chic!

Giovanna Battaglia at Bottega Veneta
More Comme des Garçons sartorial sightings at Milan fashion week: Giovanna Battaglia wore a fabulous Junya Watanabe Comme des Garçons dress to the Bottega Veneta show this morning. If the mesh panels look familiar, it’s because as she says, “everybody copied it, but Watanabe was the first.” Cheers to an original like Giovanna.

Giovanna Battaglia at Stella McCartney FW2013
Skirts! Watch out for them as we segue into fall 2013, because there were a lot of them on the runways. Giovanna Battaglia gets out ahead of the curve at the Stella McCartney show, pairing a flared tweed skirt with her gold trench coat. The metallic gold pumps are the crowning touch.

Giovanna Battaglia at Dior
Outside the Dior show in Paris, Giovanna Battaglia spun around in a beautiful silk floral coat on loan from Rochas. The coat was just off the runway from the fall/winter 2013 Rochas show the day before.

Giovanna Battaglia at Fendi
Giovanna Battaglia attracted a huge crowd of photographers outside the Fendi show, then she videotaped us with her iPhone. It’s all so meta!! But keep an eye out for this waist-centric, flared 1940s silhouette in outerwear for fall 2013. It was all over the Prada runways hours after Giovanna wore it here. The scarf around her head à la Tippi Hedren was also strangely prescient. Giovanna: a fashion’s bellwether, no matter what the weather.

Giovanna Battaglia wore a fabulous metallic gold trench coat to yesterday’s Michael Kors show. It flashed in the sunlight as she walked across Lincoln Plaza – a cool fashion superhero effect!

Giovanna Battaglia wore this khaki and lace Valentino dress to the Roberto Cavalli show in Milan. The faceted black necklace at the collar is not part of the original runway look but her own addition – bellissima!

Giovanna Battaglia at Lanvin
Stylist Giovanna Battaglia arrived at Lanvin in a two-tone saturated orange and brown dress tied at the hips. Loved the accessories too: envelope clutch, translucent orange framed glasses and gold choker.

Last Show: Louis Vuitton SS2011
Alas, it’s always sad when Fashion Week ends, so I’ve been delaying this post for weeks. But on the last day in Paris, the Louis Vuitton show capped off the week, and a number of interesting models, celebs and fashion people made the scene.
A model leaves the show in a dramatic black fur cape, long black skirt and black felt hat. (more…)

Alexander McQueen SS2011
This much-anticipated show was the first after Alexander McQueen’s tragic death last spring, with his friend and colleague Sarah Burton taking the reins. The show seemed to provoke a bittersweet reaction in some of the guests – you can see strains of the old McQueen in Burton’s designs, since she had been his collaborator for so long. The dark, Gothic sensibility is still there – particularly in this season’s ravishing Alexander McQueen boots designed by Burton – but the spring designs were deftly turned out by Burton’s lighter hand, giving McQueen fans hope for the future of the line.
Alexander McQueen boots are part of a smart new interpretation of evening wear: tuxedo jacket, frilled white blouse, a swingy jet bead necklace and skinny black jeans. (more…)

Chanel SS2011
Some of the most glamorous women in the world converged upon the Grand Palais in Paris last week for the huge, blockbuster Chanel show that won rave reviews. As ever with Karl Lagerfeld’s shows, many guests wore Chanel from head to toe in a show of support (that verges on adoration) of the French master designer.

Christian Dior SS2011
Apologies in advance for the number of photos from this show – 32 – but there was so much great fashion outside Dior! First we had many of the key players for Paris Fashion Week dressed to the nines, then a promenade of models leaving the show – several of them in black leather leggings, the garb of choice for models this fall. If you’ve got legs….
Carine Roitfeld with Mario Sorrenti. I love how she mixes this leopard coat with purple lace-up shoes – unexpected and fun. (more…)
