Gray and White, Outside Gucci
Welcome to Milan fashion week! First show: Gucci. We’ve seen a lot of black and white on the streets this season but not a lot of gray, which may be why this elegant and sporty look in gray and white seemed like such a breath of fresh air. Also note the boots – just above the ankle is the way to go for fall.
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.
Linda Wells at Gucci
Allure editor Linda Wells wore a Burberry coat to the Gucci show and carried a Reed Krakoff bag with a contrasting belt tie. These bags have really been taking off this fashion week, especially among American fashion editors. Krakoff won the CFDA Award for accessory design in 2012.
Kate Lanphear at Gucci
Kate Lanphear of T Magazine has always been a wearer of inky black from head to toe. It somehow gets more stylish every year, though – the monochromatic palette brings your focus to the thick, soft leather of her jacket, the beautiful tailoring of the clothes, the silhouette of the feminine heels. That’s fellow street style photog Adam Katz Sinding of Le 21ème in the background – another fashion person who favors all black.
Ada Kokosar at Gucci
Stylist Ada Kokosar wore a pale peach No. 9 dress and black (faux?) fur jacket and matching hat to the Gucci show. The look is romantic and moody, though the sleek cut of the dress keeps it modern.
Flared Skirt, Outside Gucci
It’s all too easy to fall into the jeans/pants rut when cold weather sets in, but remember: there are some great options in skirts. I’m especially loving skater and flared skirts like this one, which are so flattering and versatile. Pair it with black tights and a blazer and it’s instantly winterized.
You’re on Camera, Milan
Major accessories: Gold snakeskin iPad cover, paisley scarf, bracelets, watch glasses and sunglasses – not to mention the video camera.
Pink and Black Polka Dots, Outside Gucci
Loved this ’50s-inspired look on a girl outside the Gucci show. Not only are polka dots big this season, but pink, usually a spring color, is showing up in surprising ways for fall.
Black and White, Outside Gucci
Here’s more of my favorite transitional look of black and white, outside the Gucci show at Milan Fashion Week. Love the leather-paneled skirt.
Denni in Fausto Puglisi
Fashion blogger Denni of Chic Muse posed for us on the tram tracks outside the Dolce & Gabbana show. This was a real fashion risk, mind you, because these are active tracks with huge trams running through every few minutes! Her Fausto Puglisi is also a fashion risk in all the right ways. Love the elaborate beading at the waist and the flared skirt. The bag is vintage Gucci, the shoes Prada.
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.
