Hanne Gaby Odiele, Outside Rochas
Hanne Gaby Odiele walked the runway at the Rochas show then emerged in this amazing outfit of expertly mixed patterns. Gorgeous! Keep an eye out for print pants like these – they were all the rage in Paris, both at designer and contemporary price levels.
Fashion Week S/S 2012 Is Over!
Models celebrated outside the Miu Miu show, like this girl in a cute yellow dress, platform clogs and a backpack. It has been fun but exhausting. Thank you everyone who patiently posed for photos!
And never fear – there are many more Paris street style photos to come in the following weeks. So much fashion, so little time.
Sui He in Blue, Outside the Rochas Show
There’s no shortage of fabulously dressed models off duty at Paris Fashion Week. One to watch is Sui He, seen here yesterday outside the Rochas show in a vivid blue dress, black Yves Saint Laurent bag and black wedge suede booties.
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…)
Stars and Stripes Jeans, Outside Milk Studios
A model off duty in stars and stripes jeans, outside Milk Studios.
Models in All Black, Mott Street
No matter what fall fashion brings – this year, it’s supposed to be jewel tones à la Gucci F/W 2011 – you can rest assured that models off duty will still wear black.
The sunglasses at top look a lot like a pair of black Burberry shades on my fall shopping list right now. Also love the Alexander Wang bag on the sidewalk.
Model in Denim Shorts, Chrystie Street
There’s no question about it: ultra short denim shorts are the uniform of choice this summer for models off duty. Why not, when you’ve got the legs?
Vintage 70s Jeans, NoLita
Love the highwaisted jeans on this model off duty in NoLita. She told me they’re vintage from the 70s. Highwaisted jeans can be hard to pull off, but they’re really cute paired with a black sheer top, long sweater and yellow bag – detail shot after the jump. (more…)
Navy Romper With Belt, Prince Street
Anyone willing to bare her legs in yesterday’s 80-degree weather brought out the shorts, especially rompers. This model-esque woman in NoLita sported a navy blue short shorts romper with a wide caramel-colored belt, black sandals and cross-body bag, perfectly mixed and accessorized.
Natalia Vadianova at Louis Vuitton
Natalia Vadianova exited the Louis Vuitton show in a gorgeous black velvet coat embellished with silk and sequin lapels. The motorcycle boots are such a departure they look almost accidental – but keep in mind this was the last day of the whole fashion month – high heels were a tall order.
Tweed Jacket Embellished With Flowers, Outside Chloe
If, like me, you get stuck in a rut and keep wearing black and gray even though it’s spring, take a cue from this model off duty. She may be wearing a black cowl neck sweater and black lace skirt, but she tops it off with a colorful tweed jacket adorned with flowers. Making an effort!
White Shirtdress, Outside Viktor & Rolf
I never get tired of exquisitely tailored white shirts or shirtdresses – like this one on a model off duty in the Tuileries.
Update: She is Elena Perminov.
One Day Without Shoes
If you know TOMS shoes, the espadrilles that are popping up on fashionable feet everywhere, you probably know that for every pair sold, the company donates a pair to a child in need. To further raise awareness of the millions of children in developing nations who are at risk of infection and disease because they don’t have shoes, TOMS started an initiative of volunteer walks in cities all over the world, One Day Without Shoes. Yesterday in New York, several dozen people braved the chance of rain to strip off their shoes and walk on Pier 45 by the river. TOMS spokesmodel Anne V, above, led the way. (more…)
Ruby Aldridge in Navy Blue, Outside Chloe
Is navy is the new black? That’s how things are shaping up for fashion muses like model Ruby Aldridge, who made her exit from the Chloe runway in a long-sleeved navy blue lace dress, artfully styled with a belt and sunglasses looped through.
Note that she has mixed navy with a black fringed bag, brown woven belt and white sunglasses, which looks much cooler and more relaxed than a navy blue outfit that’s all matchy-matchy.
Natasha Poly and Sasha Pivovarova at Chanel
To clarify: Not all models off duty dress fabulously. The standard uniform for the past couple years has been biker jackets, skinny jeans and biker boots – sexy at first, until it got boring. This season several of the top girls are breaking the mold, wearing more layers and texture, mixing up skirts and pants and interesting coats. Natasha Poly and Sasha Pivovarova, just off the Chanel runway, exemplify the look that Lagerfeld showed for the Fall 2011 collection, as Style.com‘s Tim Blanks put it: “mixing the street with enough high fashion fantasy to make the result seem rich and strange.”
