Elena Perminova at Chanel
I’ve photographed Russian former model Elena Perminova at previous fashion weeks, but this season I became totally obsessed with her. Her outfits were totally amazing day after day, including this daring surrealist print worn head to toe at Chanel. The pattern is actually retro telephone buttons. She created an absolute frenzy among the street style photographers when she crossed the street after the Chanel show. Another close-up shot after the jump. (more…)

Hanne Gaby Odiele in Dries van Noten
I can’t tell you how many times I’ve asked a top editor/buyer/stylish at fashion week what they’re wearing, and the succinct answer is: “It’s Dries.” Belgian designer Dries van Noten is one of the most prized labels by fashion insiders, and when you see his designs up close, as on model Hanna Gaby Odiele, it’s easy to see why. The silk jacket and top from the spring/summer 2012 collection are a collage of digitally printed seventeenth-century botanical etchings and a jungle scene. Almost as gorgeous as Hanna Gaby herself.
And a beauty note: a lot of the top models have been wearing dark, ruby red lipstick this fashion week, in a sort of inversion of fall and spring color palettes.

Hanne Gaby Odiele Eats an Ice Cream Cone
Model Hanne Gaby Odiele ate a gelato after exiting the Jil Sander show, and a media frenzy ensued. The expression is priceless, but also, I love what she’s wearing. There are tones of pastel pink and blue in the fisherman’s knit sweater that echo the colors in the skirt. Hanne Gaby is definitely one of the best dressed models around.

Ruby Aldridge at Ports 1961
You may have already seen this image in some incarnation or other, since there were a lot of us street style photographers on the scene, but I just love model Ruby Aldridge. The idea to pose on the railing outside the Ports 1961 show, with the monolithic New York Public Library rising behind her, was actually hers. What an eye. The hat is Rag & Bone.

Ruby Aldridge, Outside Milk Studios
Ruby Aldridge wore inky black from head to toe on the way to a fitting at Milk Studios. The leather jacket is tough but so beautifully tailored. Obviously she’s got the looks to be one of the top models of NY Fashion Week, but the real reason to love her is for her personality: funny, rebellious and super cool.

Winter Layers, Outside Donna Karan
This model off duty wore a layered look of skirt, sweater, coat and matching bag exiting the Donna Karan show. Just leaving a coat unbuttoned can make an outfit more interesting on milder winter days.

Kasia Struss in a Tweed Coat
As tempting as it may be to envelop yourself in a sleeping bag-like coat every day this winter, cloth versions like Kasia Struss’ are a better choice whenever the weather permits. Here she leaves the Donna Karan show in a tweed coat with a rose in hand.

Snakeskin Pants at DVF
Outside the Diane von Furstenberg show in New York, this model off duty paired a belted blue top with a feather necklace, Fendi bag and snakeskin print pants in one really great ensemble.

Frida Gustavsson at Valentino
Such a great fall outfit on Frida Gustavsson outside Valentino. The casual, slouchy pink sweater and cuffed jeans are balanced out by an art deco statement necklace and suede pumps. The red envelope bag is Valentino, a gift to the models who walked the show. She may not have started out the day with a red bag and pink sweater, but the clashiness is kinda cool.

Arizona Muse at Hermès
Arizona Muse rocked her trademark cowboy hat when she left the Hermès show in Paris. The black bra under a sheer white shirt is a particularly sexy interpretation of the black and white trend.

Hanne Gaby Odiele at Chloé
Hanne Gaby Odiele was definitely one of the best dressed models off duty this past Paris fashion week. Here she leaves the Chloé show in a laser cut brown leather top, zigzag cardigan and skinny leather pants. A great combination of color, textures and pattern.
