NYC Boots, November – December 2020: Uptown Edition
Another one for Footwear Plus: boots in the city in late fall and winter. This one took me to the Upper East Side during prime holiday shopping season, which was interesting. Despite the closure of shopping anchor Barneys [crosses self], women and a few men are still dressing up to walk up and down Madison and Fifth.
Style Inspo: Anne Vyalitsyna at Ferragamo FW2020
Funny how fashionably prescient model Anne V’s February outfit was: it looks like a few chic pieces thrown on over plaid pajamas. The suede fringe jacket is the key.
Silver Surfer: Teddy Quinlivan at Paco Rabanne SS2019
Teddy Quinlivan at Valentino SS2017
Model Teddy Quinlivan posed in a black leather biker jacket and skirt after the Valentino show in Paris this fall. Add some black tights and this outfit would be a great bet for Paris couture week in winter, known for its relatively mild temperatures but gloomy skies.
Details, NYC, November 2016
Winter may be upon us, but that hasn’t stopped New Yorkers from dressing up in the morning. In downtown Manhattan, a woman mixed a fringe bag with black and nude brick motif tights and combat boots.
Into Combat: Sara Sampaio at Alberta Ferretti SS2017
Combat boots have been a major trend for fall 2016, as seen on Victoria’s Secret model Sara Sampaio after walking the Alberta Ferretti show.
Biking in a Hat and Gloves, NYC November 2016
Winter is coming to New York City, but that hasn’t deterred people from biking around town. A man wore a hat, scarf and gloves as he biked through Astor Place one morning.
Sofie Valkiers at Coachella 2016
It was good to see some familiar faces at Coachella looking just as good as they do in a land far, far away called Paris fashion week. Blogger Sofie Valkiers mixed some covetable Jimmy Choo over-the-knee suede boots with a Dodo Baror jumpsuit, YSL bag and embroidered denim jacket by Levis. Also digging the layered necklaces – yes, this trend is back again.
This was the last photo I snapped before I was detained by the Coachella authorities for taking fashion photos with a 35mm camera. Pretty ridiculous. But whatever, Sofie, it was worth it!
Dare to Go Bare: Irene Kim at Chloe FW2016
It’s that time of year again: time to bare your legs after a winter spent in hiding. Make the transition easier with mid-calf boots and a great jacket, as Irene Kim did at the Chloe show. We are seeing a lot of varsity and bomber jackets for spring, especially in this military green color. Kim was also ahead of the curve with her ombre hair.
Margaret Zhang at Gucci FW2016
The floral appliqued Gucci spring collection is already getting a lot of play on the streets, as are pleated skirts, back in a big way. Margaret Zhang mixed a pleated skirt with a silk bomber jacket outside the Gucci show.
Kyle Anderson at Gucci Resort 2016
Marie Claire‘s Kyle Anderson battled a gloomy day in NYC with a camouflage jacket and combat boots.
Rachel Wang at Stella McCartney Resort 2016
Rachel Wang looked polished but summery in a lightweight plaid dress with big gold earrings at the Stella McCartney resort show in New York.
Leila Yavari at Carven FW2015
Such a cool look on Leila Yavari at the Carven show in Paris – and a good example of how ’90s grunge has been repurposed with a more sophisticated edge for 2015.
Two Maximalist Looks, Outside Elie Saab FW2015
Two maximalist looks, complete with furs (one in pink), beautiful beading, suede and fringe on Erica Pelosini and a friend at the Elie Saab show in Paris.
