DKNY Jeans, Outside the Derek Lam Show
I had a dream last night about these DKNY jeans covered with decals, seen here on Dani Stahl outside the Derek Lam show, so I figured it was time to run the photo. A Valentino clutch and Fendi fur keyring add to the fun.
Caroline de Maigret at Isabel Marant FW2014
French top model Caroline de Maigret wore an Etoile Isabel Marant cotton coat to the designer’s show in Paris. I love the shades of blue all over – including jeans and a denim Chanel clutch – and the tribal vibe of this spring coat. Very sexy and cool.
Thinking Pink, Outside BCBG
Caroline de Maigret at Rodarte
French model Caroline de Maigret paused for a minute outside the Rodarte show in front of some “love” graffiti. Not an accident, because we photographers love her! She was one of several show goers during fashion week to wear spring-y jeans in white or pale washed colors. Anything to usher in the warmer weather.
Hanne Gaby Odiele at Michael Kors
Loved this hilarious vintage Hooters sweatshirt and faux fur coat on Hanne Gaby Odiele, a top model with an irreverent sense of humor. As usual she delivers the message with a wink and a nod.
Oversized Coat and Sneakers, Outside Cavalli
One of the most talked-about aspects of the recent Chanel couture show was Karl Lagerfeld’s choice of footwear for the exquisite gowns and suits: sneakers. The sneaker trend actually trickled up from the streets. In recent fashion weeks so many of the models off duty and photographers wore running shoes to (sometimes literally) sprint between shows. The good news: they don’t have to be as expensive as Chanel. Nike is fine.
In Milan, a showgoer wore Nike running shoes with a wide brimmed hat and oversize coat, feminizing the look by leaving a little bit of ankle exposed. Try it when it gets warm enough to expose some skin.
Katlin Aas, After Trussardi
Model Katlin Aas has a cool, laid back style that’s casual but never haphazard. In Milan she conquered the cold with lots of layers under a leather jacket, an oversize scarf and beanie hat. Also like how she has styled the lace-up boots with wool socks for an outdoorsy look (also practical in the snow).
Printed Parka and Boyfriend Jeans, Outside Etro
A cool parka goes a long way in winter. This one outside the Etro show in Milan was printed with fox tails – still glamorous but friendlier than the real thing. Boyfriend jeans and heels add to the mix.
Valentino Coat, Chanel Bag and Jeans, Outside Valentino
This is the kind of high-low mix that stylists and editors love: a très chic (and expensive) Valentino coat and Chanel matriochka bag worn with a down-to-earth pair of ripped boyfriend jeans. Even if you can’t throw on your best Valentino and Chanel, you can take a cue from this girl: this fall’s shredded boyfriend jeans are best worn cuffed with heels, especially if you’re petite.
Yasmin Sewell at Chloe
Such a cool hi-lo mix on fashion consultant Yasmin Sewell: a black polka dot tulle skirt worn over cropped jeans with an emerald green silk top.
Helena Bordon at Issey Miyake
Loved this look on Brazil’s Helena Bordon at yesterday’s Issey Miyake show. Mixing ripped jeans and a quirky athletic-inspired tee with a floral trench and heels is daring, but it all comes together beautifully. She said that the jeans got so ripped that she had to safety pin them, but guess what? Ripped, safety-pinned jeans are definitely in fashion.
Caroline de Maigret at Theyskens’ Theory
Chanel muse and model Caroline de Maigret exudes this sultry French chic that we American women can’t seem to master. Alas, maybe we could at least dress like her? At the Theyskens’ Theory show yesterday, she paired black waxed jeans with a beautiful silk herringbone blazer and heels. The bag is Chanel, bien sûr.
Another difference between the Americans and the French: they don’t waste time with blowouts, instead letting their hair look always a little bit mussed. Very sexy.
Simone Marchetti in Valentino
Summer Look, Outside J. Mendel
Love the infusion of color that hits menswear when the weather gets warmer. Here a guest at New York fashion week mixes a sharp blue gingham blazer with green jeans.
Karlie Kloss at Donna Karan FW2011
More Throwback Thursdays: Sometimes I look back at old photos and realize I didn’t know what I had, like this photo of Karlie Kloss from Valentine’s Day in 2011. It was before she hit megastardom as a model, and though the bag is Dior, I love how she’s just in regular jeans and scuffed up boots.
