Elena Perminova at Dior FW2020
Starry Night: Vanessa Hong at Valentino Couture FW2018
Cirque dans la rue: Jessica Minh Anh at Viktor & Rolf FW2018
Jessica Minh Anh took a spin in a bright yellow Viktor & Rolf dress at couture week, when high fashion hit the streets of Pigalle during peak tourist season.
Dramatic Effect: Red Gown and White Bag at the Planned Parenthood Gala 2018
Planned Parenthood held a gala earlier this month, and several guests wore saturated red. This look in particular with a white bag had echoes of the Handmaid’s Tale, with its visually stunning scenes of Margaret Atwood’s handmaids swirling by in identical long red dresses and white caps. Is this what has fashion seeing red this season? The Hello Kitty phone lightens it up.
Lady in Red: Bee Shaffer at the Met Gala 2018
Bee Shaffer, arguably the next “royal” – at least in fashion circles – to be married, looked gorgeous in bright red at this year’s Met Gala, which her mother Anna Wintour hosted as usual. This saturated red has been one of the biggest fashion takeaways in NYC this spring, a color spotted everywhere from evening gowns at the Met Gala to bright puffer jackets on the L train. (Spring weather took a long time coming.)
Also love how Bee’s fiancé Francesco Carrozzini (son of Vogue Italia’s Franca Sozzani) matched his socks to her dress. The couple that dresses together…
Ruth and the Selfie Seekers, Met Gala 2018
Ruth Negga passed by some admiring fans on her way to the Met Gala from the Mark Hotel (and yes, did pause for a selfie).
All in Black: Victoria Magrath at Dior SS2018
Victoria Magrath of In the Frow in a dress that would have fit right in at last night’s Golden Globes.
Sarah Ellen in Ellery at the SS2017 Show
Congrats to Kym Ellery of ELLERY, winner of the Australian Fashion Laureate award for best Australian womenswear. Aussie actress Sarah Ellen wore a beautiful white silk dress by the designer to the show in Paris this month. Ellery’s signature long flowing sleeves have been a particular favorite with the fashion set.
Lauren Remington Platt at Dior Couture FW2014
It’s always good to see New Yorkers in Paris, especially the glamorous Lauren Remington Platt, who wore a belted orange gown by Lanvin to the Christian Dior haute couture show.
Summer Eveningwear, Outside Dior Cruise
A beautiful look for evening: Dior orange top and lavender silk satin skirt outside the Dior cruise show in Brooklyn.
White Lace Dress and Plaid Jacket, Outside Chanel
I love this combination of a formal gown made of exquisite white lace with a casual beret and plaid jacket. The jewelry and Chanel bag take it up a notch further, styling-wise. Very French, very Chanel.
Ulyana Sergeenko at Dior
Ulyana Sergeenko swept into the Dior show in a dramatic tiered and tasseled wool skirt and an oversized hat. Her personal style strikes me as very 21st-century Anna Karenina – elegant and aristocratic.
Leigh Lezark in Kenzo
Keep an eye out for the newly-reinvigorated brand Kenzo. Ever since Opening Ceremony’s Humberto Leon and Carol Lim took the helm as creative directors last year, Kenzo has been gaining visibility in editorial and ad pages – and also in real life on fashion industry folk. We saw numerous Kenzo sweatshirts on the editors this past fashion week, and at the Viktor & Rolf show in the Tuileries, Leigh Lezark work an intricately pleated Kenzo dress that looked particularly beautiful in motion.
Dior Dress, Outside the Show
Raf Simons’ ready-to-wear debut at Dior was one of the most highly anticipated events at Paris Fashion Week, so guests really dressed to the max. This young woman wore a gorgeous blue print Dior gown to the show.
Ulyana Sergeenko at Dolce & Gabbana
One of my favorite Russians has arrived back on the scene, fashion designer Ulyana Sergeenko. Here she is in a black velvet dress of her own design outside the Dolce & Gabbana show.
