Kate Schelter at Yigal Azrouel
Stylist Kate Schelter and a friend outside the Yigal Azrouël show. They’re both so beautifully pulled together – and this was taken early in the morning! Schelter mixes an army green silk jumpsuit with a classic fur and brown suede lace-up boots. On her friend, a wide-brimmed fedora. Both opted for handbags in caramel leather.

Hilary Alexander at Prabal Gurung
The Telegraph’s famous fashion correspondent wore an beautifully embroidered Byzantine-style coat to Prabal Gurung’s show. With the fur hat and scarf and a black and crimson floral dress underneath, she conjures up turn-of-the-last-century Russia.

Fur Hat and Fisherman’s Sweater, Rachel Comey
I love the mix in this outfit, and it’s something we’re seeing more and more. A fancy fur hat gets dressed down with a swingy wool coat and fisherman’s sweater, but then the bright silk scarf elevates the whole look again. Also: more lace-up boots, red lipstick.

Two Party Looks, Bubble & Cube
One of the most stressful things about fashion week can be deciding what to wear – especially to the after parties. You know the quandary: dressed up, but not too much, making an effort, but not trying too hard. On the left, she wears an adorable Stevie Nicks-style hat and sexy but seasonally-appropriate black top with slit sleeves. A pop of color from hot pink lipstick is the finishing touch. On the right, this guy is on the forefront of a new trend: piled-on accessories for a male maximalist style.

Porkpie Hat, 14th Street
Before we segue into the sometimes zany world of NY Fashion Week guys, here’s what downtown guys are wearing. The porkpie hat and double breasted coat conjure up the “Boardwalk Empire” era of 1920s toughs and the show’s star Michael Pitt, a huge style influencer right now.

Russian Fur Hat and Military Jacket, Union Square, January
Eric Wilson of the Times Styles section included trapper hats as one of “10 Looks We Never Want to See Again” post-2010. (Also included: anything with studs or skulls.) Very well, but what happens if you have to spend hours outside in sub-freezing temperatures?
Trapper hats are infinitely practical, but you could put them away in favor of their Russian cousins, the huge fur topper, for similar warmth. Insulated faux fur will work just as well. Paired here with a navy blue military jacket, the look is sharp and timeless.

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…)

Chloe SS2011
Chloe’s autumn/winter 2010 collection has already proved highly influential this fall with its wide-legged trousers and camel coats, so the spring/summer 2011 show was a must-see for many. The distinctive colors of Chloe’s fall line were on display on the guests in the Tuileries.

Balmain SS2011
Before there were slim cut cargo pants on every retail floor on every corner, there were slim cut cargo pants on the runway at Balmain. This French label spearheaded the military chic trend that has resonated with consumers over the past few seasons. Slightly androgynous but always sexy, Christophe Decarnin’s designs have quite a following, as evidenced by the cool crowd outside the Le Grand Hotel.
A fabulously tough look. Note the camouflage – a pattern that appeared on several fashion-forward editors. (more…)

Ann Demeulemeester SS2011
No wonder this is such a chic city: Paris has the perfect fall weather for fashion. Though we may get some rain later this week (requiring yet more trenches), right now it’s cloudy and cool enough to require a jacket, some new boots, and of course, the artfully-draped scarf. At Ann Demeulemeester, guests gave this fall uniform a particularly avant garde spin.
Modern Gothic. (more…)
