Lynn Yaeger in Greenwich Village, November 2020
Just as I was despairing about the state of fashion in a never-ending cycle of sweatpants and yet more sweatpants, I rounded the corner of University Place and espied Lynn Yaeger in her usual finery. Yes, it is month 7? – 8? – of this nightmare and still she has not succumbed to the siren song of stretchy cotton jersey!

Lynn Yaeger, Greenwich Village, June 2020
It was so great to run into my Greenwich Village neighbor Lynn Yaeger on 10th Street. As luck would have it, she was one of the last people I saw in New York City before I fled in mid-March. She and Michael Musto were strolling down University Place on a warm spring night, and I spotted her as I came out of the Knickerbocker Grill for what would be my last dine-in restaurant meal for God knows how long. Then she was one of the first people I saw on the street when I came back to the neighborhood.
As you can see, she is not sitting around in sweatpants, but maintaining the same level of style and fabulosity as in the Before Times. She cleverly repurposed a silk scarf as a mask, something we should all do with all those old scarves. Underneath, she is still wearing her signature lipstick. And no, she never fled the city. Now that’s a New Yorker.

Lynn Yaeger at Chanel Couture FW2016
As we get deep into shorts and T-shirt weather, let us take inspiration from Lynn Yaeger, who has been known to say that she doesn’t own any “normal” clothes. Summer dressing is a lot less boring with a mix of bohemian prints and lace.

Lynn Yaeger at Comme des Garcons
One of my favorite fashion writers ever, Lynn Yaeger, stopped for a moment outside the Comme des Garçons show in Paris for a photo. Her pretty and feminine outfit is quietly subversive – that’s a skull and crossbones motif woven into the Fair Isle collar. You can take the girl out of New York….

Lynn Yaeger at Ralph Lauren
Someone we all look forward to seeing at NY Fashion Week: the inimitable Lynn Yaeger. She is quite the fashion maximalist and detailed her packing strategies for the European fashion weeks in this funny Travel & Leisure essay.

Lynn Yaeger at Chanel
Long before personal style bloggers and other street style darlings started mixing patterns, Lynn Yaeger was doing it in her own post-punk fashion. At the Chanel show, she wore plaid, checks and a fairisle print backpack with her signature layered tulle skirts.

Lynn Yaeger at Ralph Lauren
Lynn Yaeger stopped to chat outside yesterday’s Ralph Lauren show. Sometimes I see fashion week regulars on the street after fashion week (month?) is over, and they’re just wearing something basic. Not Lynn Yaeger! Even if she’s just walking down 8th Street in the Village, she’s just as elaborately, beautifully dressed as she is here. She obviously lives and breathes fashion. Head to toe shot with Lanvin bag after the jump. (more…)

Chanel SS2011
Some of the most glamorous women in the world converged upon the Grand Palais in Paris last week for the huge, blockbuster Chanel show that won rave reviews. As ever with Karl Lagerfeld’s shows, many guests wore Chanel from head to toe in a show of support (that verges on adoration) of the French master designer.

Donna Karan SS2011
Quintessential New York designer Donna Karan received rave reviews for her last collection, and her latest show this past Monday was a big draw on the fashion week circuit. Chic business attire was the look for this weekday show.
“Greige” is slated to be the It color for fall 2010, as with this grayish-beige dress with sculptural folds, bag and knotted sandals. (more…)

Prabal Gurung SS2011
Prabal Gurung has been named one to watch by many influential fashion editors, and his show for spring, full of bright, color blocked looks and high tech materials, lived up to his promise. A number of high-power fans, buyers and stylists came to the show.

Ann Demeulemeester
Ann Demeulemeester’s modern goth aesthetic is often described as edgy and avant garde; the same description could also be applied to her fans. On the runway, the long, lean, black silhouettes of her fall 2010 collection were broken up by flashes of red patent leather detailing. Outside in the courtyard of the Couvent des Cordeliers, black, minimalist clothing was favored by many of the guests, too.
She has this androgynous petit gamin look that’s just fascinating. A good example of how the guests can really bring a designer’s vision to life at a fashion show.

Alexander Wang
A huge amount of buzz surrounded Saturday’s show by Alexander Wang, the fashion darling who’s built a multimillion-dollar clothing and accessories empire by the age of 25. A crowd of key fashion players came to the show, though the collection itself was disappointing compared to Wang’s previous seasons. The fabulous clothes on all the guests, however, were inspiration enough.

Ports 1961
Ports 1961 has gained more and more attention since the brand started showing in the Bryant Park tents at Mercedes Benz Fashion Week a few years ago. Designer Tia Cibani’s ethereal but practical designs attracted top editors and trendsetters to Thursday’s show.
On the runway, pale dove gray is wonderfully flattering and is emerging as a big color for fall 2010. (more…)

Marc by Marc Jacobs Show SS10
Though Marc by Marc Jacobs is an American brand, the clothes have this quirky chic that seems quintessentially Parisian – even more so now that Marc lives in Paris. Lynn Yaeger stood outside with one of her reporter colleagues, marveling at all the clothes going by. The show attracts a creative crowd that really sees fashion as a form of self-expression – including Yaeger herself.
Definitely one of Yaeger’s most fabulous outfits ever. Her sense of style is timeless – for instance, she’s been wearing oxfords, one of the big trends of the season, for years now, and the intarsia doggie detail on the corner of her sweater evoked the lions in the “Doctor Doolittle” theme of Anna Sui’s show – the show that would take place the day after this photo was taken.
