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.

Saskia de Brauw at Stella McCartney

Model Saskia de Brauw has really distinctive personal style. Most of us could not pull off overalls, but she makes them look super chic. Here she exits the Stella McCartney show in Paris in overalls, a tweed coat, leather bag and rugged lace-up boots.

Nastya Kusakina, After Dior

One of the most beautiful new faces in the modeling world is Russian model Nastya Kusakina, who has the look of a fairy princess in hair and makeup from the Dior runway. Even for us mere mortals, the combination of fuchsia lipstick and silvery shadow would be a fun beauty look for spring soirees.

Cara Delevingne at Louis Vuitton

Happy end of fashion week!

As you can imagine from these four weeks straight of fashion week photos, it’s a long haul, and by the end people get a little crazy – usually in a good way. After the Louis Vuitton, top model Cara Delevingne broke free of her security detail and sprinted across the plaza holding a blue plush head rest and jumbo bag of peanut M&Ms, gleefully mixing with teenage fans who’d waited hours to get her photo. Then, as the French security guys shouted and looked on in utter befuddlement, she did some Rockette high kicks for us in her Chanel high tops and shirt that read “Last Clean T-Shirt.” Unforgettable.

Action shots after the jump.  (more…)

Fei Fei Sun at Chanel

Model Fei Fei Sun has always had a great sense of style and a wardrobe that seems to get more beautiful and sophisticated each season. Exiting the Chanel show, she wore an Andrew Gn white coat and carried a Chanel purse. Details including the elaborate runway glitter eyeshadow, after the jump.  (more…)

Bette Franke at Bottega Veneta

Model Bette Franke probably had a 6:30 call time on the rainy morning of the Bottega Veneta show, and yet she still managed to dress with this certain je ne sais quoi, as you can see when she exited the show. Love how she mixed prints on the scarf and sweater with a colorblocked coat. The beautiful hair and makeup is from the Bottega Veneta runway.

Joan Smalls at Fendi

Model Joan Smalls has always had super cool, understated personal style. She exited the Fendi show in plum-colored lipstick from the runway (look for more of this come fall 2013), matching fur scarf, knit hat, Givenchy clutch and Margiela blazer. Oh yeah – and there’s a Dracula movie in town whose posters made for a dramatic backdrop!

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.

Ruby Aldridge in Vintage, Outside the Mercedes Benz Tents

Some fashion people play fast and loose with the term “vintage.” It doesn’t refer to a bag from two seasons ago, but rather the treasures you can find when hunting through racks and racks of old stuff, as at Antique Boutique on Broadway in the ’80s and ’90s, when vintage had its heyday. Model Ruby Aldridge continues the tradition with the vintage stuff she wears all the time, like these cool jeans and Western boots. The resulting look is truly original. Close-up of those boots, after the jump.

Bye bye, New York Fashion Week! It’s over, and here’s supermodel Karolina Kurkova for you in Michael Kors, waving goodbye after the show. Next up for me: Milan and Paris. But there are still plenty of NY Fashion Week photos to come.

Jourdan Dunn, After Moschino

Such a chic look on model Jourdan Dunn after the Moschino show in Milan. Colorful denim is a key way to warm up winter staples like a black coat, and the wide brimmed hat is just great personal style.

Aymeline Valade at Jason Wu

When the thermometer drops down to the low 20s in New York, my mind goes back to the bitterly cold days outside St. John’s Center during last winter’s New York Fashion Week. And guess what? The next NY Fashion Week is just five weeks away, so it’s time to start brainstorming about what to wear now.

Model Aymeline Valade bundled up with panache outside the Jason Wu show with a wrap, Alexander Wang bag and warm hat for a look that’s cozy yet chic.

Cara Delavigne, Outside Missoni

This year’s Victoria’s Secret fashion show was one of the most over-the-top in recent memory, with not just a $2.5 million diamond bra but performances by pop stars Justin Bieber and Rihanna, who looked so good on stage she could have been a Victoria’s Secret Angel herself. But I was especially enthralled with new girls like Karlie Kloss, Magdalena Frackowiak and Cara Delevingne, seen here in a signature quirky tomboy look after the Missoni show. So great to see these girls strutting their stuff for millions of viewers!
