Bonnaroo Street Chic: Leopard-Print Shorts and Doc Martens

Since the original huge American music festival was Woodstock, festival fashion often follows the hippie beat of that era. But as a New Yorker, I liked seeing the edgier looks at Bonnaroo. Military boots like Doc Martens are perfect for tackling dust or mud, and not every print has to be paisley. Try leopard!

Bralet and Short Shorts, Bonnaroo

To beat the heat on the steamy first day of Bonnaroo, many guests wore not much at all. Better to opt for a cute bralet and short shorts like these, however, than just a bikini. It’s a way to keep cool but stay dressed.

Kate Lanphear at Alexander Wang

Here’s another look in all black: Kate Lanphear in a fur trim coat and Louboutin lace-up boots, after the Alexander Wang show. Though so many designers are moving towards color, especially for spring, all black will always be a thing in fashion. It’s just iconic, and Lanphear is one of the women who made it that way.

Vanessa Friedman at Louis Vuitton

FT fashion editor and front-row fixture Vanessa Friedman wore a great high-low mix to Louis Vuitton, on the last day of fashion month. This outfit is actually quite comfortable and warm – it’s a sweatshirt jersey dress under that luxurious fur vest – but so chic.

Delfina Blaquier, Outside Ralph Lauren

Handsome polo star Nacho Figueras came to yesterday’s Ralph Lauren show, but the fashion crowd was perhaps even more smitten with his gorgeous wife Delfina Blaquier, photographer, model and star of Ralph Lauren’s Romance campaign. She wore a beautiful embroidered jacket, taupe Hermes bag and open toe lace-up boots. More shots after the jump.  (more…)

7 Days of Anna Dello Russo

Rarely do you see anyone have as much fun with fashion as Anna Dello Russo. Just when we thought she couldn’t top the last outrageously fashionable outfit during Paris fashion week, she would arrive in a completely different ensemble, having gone back to the hotel to change between shows. She favors designers from her native Italy and doesn’t shy from color or pattern. I can’t imagine how she packs the variety of headpieces, boots, suits, furs, jewels and dresses it takes for a single week, but I picture a couple of Louis Vuitton steamer trunks in her hotel room. Hats off to this over-the-top fashion plate who radiates chic sunshine wherever she goes. A seven-day roundup, after the jump.  (more…)

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.

Sarah Rutson at Michael Kors

Always ahead of the curve, Sarah Rutson was even a step ahead in her choice of occupations as fashion director at Lane Crawford in Hong Kong – long before editors and designers started flocking to China. Here she wears her signature sporty but feminine look with leggings, a fur vest and fringed scarf. Also note the lace-up boots. (more…)

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.

Joanna Hillman at Rachel Comey

The ever-fashionable Joanna Hillman of Harper’s Bazaar arrived at yesterday’s Rachel Comey show. Note the new, longer skirt length! And the green coat with an oversize fur collar is a winner. Also note the difference in shoes: many fashion editors are eschewing last year’s teetering stiletto platforms for more practical lace-up boots and a chunkier heel.
