Printed Pants, Outside Timo Weiland
Vivid prints like this one are a great way to liven up a winter outfit. And that is actually not a fur jacket but a fur vest worn over a leather jacket, an excellent layering technique.
Chiara Ferragni at Etro
Leather Vest and Military Dress, Outside Rag & Bone
Black and White Print Pants, Outside Rochas
Here are more of the new pants for you, looser, expertly tailored, and a little bit cropped in this case. Another development seen on the spring runways as well as the streets: playing with volume in the back of jackets and tops. Designers like Sacai have taken a cue from traditional Japanese garb and added an unexpected pouf to the back of jackets and tops, as on this one. Click through to see the jacket in profile. (more…)
Elina Halimi at Alberta Ferretti
The ever-stylish Elina Halimi of Kabuki Paris swished by the Alberta Ferretti show in Milan in a red and blue striped Dries van Noten skirt with fringe, beaded sweatshirt, gold booties and a motorcycle jacket.
Black and White, Outside Armani
A really cool outfit outside the Armani show this morning in Milan. I like how she has paired the black skater skirt with a sheer black top under a white leather vest to add some feminine floatiness to the look. And here again we see the new over-the-ankle type boots that will be big for fall, here in snappy black and white.
Joan Smalls at Gucci
One supposed “rule” of the new over-the-ankle boots is that you can’t wear them with miniskirts. Well guess what: If you have legs like Joan Smalls, you can wear them with anything. The top model exited the Gucci show in all black, including a skater skirt and sheer mesh top.
Gray and White, Outside Gucci
Welcome to Milan fashion week! First show: Gucci. We’ve seen a lot of black and white on the streets this season but not a lot of gray, which may be why this elegant and sporty look in gray and white seemed like such a breath of fresh air. Also note the boots – just above the ankle is the way to go for fall.
Rainy Day Look on Zanna Roberts Rassi
A great rainy day look on Zanna Roberts Rassi, who mixed a bright red maxi skirt with chunky heel black boots – the perfect balance of practicality and style.
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.
Giovanna Battaglia at Fendi
Giovanna Battaglia attracted a huge crowd of photographers outside the Fendi show, then she videotaped us with her iPhone. It’s all so meta!! But keep an eye out for this waist-centric, flared 1940s silhouette in outerwear for fall 2013. It was all over the Prada runways hours after Giovanna wore it here. The scarf around her head à la Tippi Hedren was also strangely prescient. Giovanna: a fashion’s bellwether, no matter what the weather.
Kate Lanphear at Gucci
Kate Lanphear of T Magazine has always been a wearer of inky black from head to toe. It somehow gets more stylish every year, though – the monochromatic palette brings your focus to the thick, soft leather of her jacket, the beautiful tailoring of the clothes, the silhouette of the feminine heels. That’s fellow street style photog Adam Katz Sinding of Le 21ème in the background – another fashion person who favors all black.
Aline Weber at DKNY
Model Aline Weber wore black and blue on her way out of the DKNY show. Love the mix of textures and the cheetah-spot boots.
Sofia Sanchez at Rodarte
Sofia Sanchez wore a Rodarte leather fringe jacket to the show yesterday. Close up of her cool metal purse, after the jump. (more…)
David Thielebeule at Timo Weiland
David Thielebeule, who recently moved from Allure to become fashion market and accessories director at WSJ, also wore blue and black to the first day of shows at Lincoln Center. He’s also sporting a cool new haircut with shaved sides that nods to ’90s punk. Men: take note.
