Culottes: Leandra Medine at BCBG FW2015
So far the big story in New York fashion week street style has been culottes. These wide-legged pants that hang like a skirt, originally created so Victorian women could do sporty things like go horseback riding, look decidedly modern. Man Repeller Leandra Medine wore a kelly green pair to the BCBG show yesterday, pairing them with a white down jacket and red bandana tied at the throat.
Sasha Luss and Kremi Otashliyska, After Chanel Couture SS2015
Two cute and practical looks on models Sasha Luss and Kremi Otashliyska after the Chanel couture show in Paris. When prepping for Fashion Month, which begins this week and does not end until March 11th, I always look at what the models are wearing. Like us photographers, they are literally running between shows – but looking good doing it.
Araya Alberta Hargate at Dior Couture SS2015
It’s great to see the classic Dior silhouette on young new faces. Thai actress Araya Alberta Hargate emerged from her car in all Dior outside the couture show in Paris. Another view, after the jump. (more…)
Elina Halimi at Chanel Couture SS2015
Loved the graphic punch of this look on Elina Halimi: red, green and black and white stripes. The accessories are great too, especially the covetable Louis Vuitton bag.
Paris Couture Week for @nytimesfashion
I just got back from Paris, where I covered street style outside the Paris S/S 2015 couture shows for the New York Times Styles section – check out the slideshow of all my street style photos for them here! All of these photos appeared on Instagram at @nytimesfashion, where the Styles section publishes up-to-the minute fashion photography from around the world – definitely an account worth following. If you missed it, you can also follow me on Instagram at @gastrochic for yet more street style and food photos.
New in this street style slideshow is my photo of Carla Bruni attending one of the shows. The former first lady of France wore skin tight leather pants on the first day of Paris couture… what a way to make an entrance!
Sarah Ann Murray at Schiaparelli Couture SS2015
Sarah Ann Murray of The Rake magazine layered a plaid cape over a plaid jacket at the Schiaparelli couture show in Paris, to great visual effect. And also practical warmth, as mentioned in today’s New York Times Thursday Styles, where my photo of Irene Kim in layered coats illustrates the point!
Another cool detail we saw several times on Paris couture week attendees: decorative leather buckles at the neck of jackets and capes.
Elisabeth Erm at Rochas FW2014
Love this sporty but urban look on model Elisabeth Erm after the Rochas show last winter. Again you can see when the mercury really drops, the fashion set layers a leather jacket underneath a winter coat.
Bundled Up: Irene Kim at Tory Burch FW2014
I still remember this bitterly cold morning last February. Model Irene Kim handled it with style, wearing a black leather jacket like a cardigan under an oversized fur coat. The white dress underneath is a nice sign of spring.
Caroline Issa at Philosophy FW2014
This outfit, like Caroline Issa herself, manages to be both cute and sophisticated at once. Love the black and white contrast and stylistic contrast between the cuddly hat and sleek black culottes and boots.
Olivia Palermo at Maison Margiela SS2015
Always ahead of the curve, Olivia Palermo attended the Maison Margiela show in the fall. Love the combination of a black peplum jacket with a leather pencil skirt.
Natalya Bogacheva at Rick Owens SS2015
Moi, je ne suis pas Charlie.
I am not nearly as daring or provocative as the cartoonists and editors behind Charlie Hebdo. But like many I am drawn to the provocateurs. Artists and free thinkers are indelibly associated with the city of Paris and should be always. In the world of fashion they would be the punks or those who dare to wear the crazy things no one else would. At the Rick Owens show, Natalya Bogacheva was one of them, donning Thom Browne’s rabbit ears hat and mask to twirl in front of the Eiffel Tower. Vive la Paris.
Winter Layers: Anmari Botha at Jason Wu FW2014
As New York winter kicks into high gear, it’s time to review how to conquer the weather with style. Model Anmari Botha layered a black leather jacket under a 3/4 sleeve coat and over a black turtleneck and necklace last year at the Jason Wu show. This is a particularly good idea when it’s cold enough to wear your leather jacket even indoors.
On the Dot: Simone Marchetti at Stella McCartney SS2015
Polka dots can brighten up even the dreariest day, as seen on La Repubblica‘s Simone Marchetti at the Stella McCartney show in Paris. The jacket is Christian Pellizzari spring/summer 2015.
Good Sport: Kyle Anderson at Peter Som SS2015
Let’s hear it for the boys: WWD announced yesterday that the CFDA is starting up a separate men’s fashion week in New York this July. And why not? American men’s fashion is extremely influential around the globe. At the Peter Som show in NY, one of those influencers, Kyle Anderson of Marie Claire, wore an amazing MBMJ Nascar-inspired jacket, mesh shirt and a flight suit, partly undone and tied around his waist.
