Anja Rubik at Gucci FW2014
Here’s the first of our Milan Fashion Week photos – top model Anja Rubik looking stunning in black and white after walking the Gucci show. More to come soon!
Karolina Kurkova at Prabal Gurung
We were thrilled to spot top model Karolina Kurkova at Prabal Gurung, dressed to the nines in leather colorblock pants.
Nadja Bender at Derek Lam
Here’s hoping the frigid temperatures don’t last much longer – but as long as they do, here’s some cold weather outfit inspiration from model Nadja Bender in a big furry coat and boots at the Derek Lam show.
Caroline de Maigret at Rodarte
French model Caroline de Maigret paused for a minute outside the Rodarte show in front of some “love” graffiti. Not an accident, because we photographers love her! She was one of several show goers during fashion week to wear spring-y jeans in white or pale washed colors. Anything to usher in the warmer weather.
Hanne Gaby Odiele at Michael Kors
Loved this hilarious vintage Hooters sweatshirt and faux fur coat on Hanne Gaby Odiele, a top model with an irreverent sense of humor. As usual she delivers the message with a wink and a nod.
Hanneli Mustaparta at 3.1 Phillip Lim
The fabulous Hanneli Mustaparta arrived at 3.1 Phillip Lim in the designer’s white and blue look.
Corrections amended!
Caroline de Maigret at Theory FW2014
It’s always a treat to see top model Caroline de Maigret at a show, supporting Olivier Theyskens at a big Theory runway show. Love her chic but laid back style here: white sneakers with an oversize coat that echoes the menswear theme we’ve seen on the women’s runways.
Anja Rubik at Gucci
Model Anja Rubik wore a cool mix of black and white at the Gucci show in Milan. The open knit sweater was particularly ahead of the curve and would be a great option for spring.
Katlin Aas, After Trussardi
Model Katlin Aas has a cool, laid back style that’s casual but never haphazard. In Milan she conquered the cold with lots of layers under a leather jacket, an oversize scarf and beanie hat. Also like how she has styled the lace-up boots with wool socks for an outdoorsy look (also practical in the snow).
Model Off Duty, After Moschino
In Milan, the fashion set saw inclement weather as an opportunity to break out their best winter duds. This is really a case of “when in Rome” – Italian ladies have been known to don their best fur coats just for a trip to the grocery store. After the Moschino show, a model left in a brilliant red fur coat and leather leggings.
Zlata Mangafic, After Chanel
New model Zlata Mangafic was one of the most widely booked models during the past fashion week season and always a pleasure to encounter outside the shows. Her look reminds me of Chanel muse and model Stella Tennant, and like Ms. Tennant, she has laid-back but elegant personal style. After walking the Chanel show, Zlata left the Grand Palais in a green Edun leather jacket, Derek Lam tweed sequin skirt and Celine bag.
Joan Smalls at Chanel SS2014
As a lifelong cat lover, I couldn’t be happier that cats are totally In! Now that my own cat is so on-trend, I won’t have to trade him in for a teacup chihuahua like Paris Hilton – at least not until next season. Model Joan Smalls threw her hat into the Team Cat ring with a cute studded cat-ears headband after the Chanel show. She also wore an amazing Karl Lagerfeld cartoon tee – detail shot after the jump.

Maria Loks at Dries van Noten
Model Maria Loks wore Dries van Noten’s vertical stripe top when exiting the show in Paris, styling it nicely with a crisp white button down underneath. Also note the running shoes, a popular footwear choice for a lot of models and photographers during fashion week. I definitely had shoe envy!
Throwback Thursday: Amanda Murphy in the Paris Metro
One day during Paris fall/winter 2013 fashion week last February, some photographer friends and I got on the metro to go to the next show and saw the most beautiful girl just sitting there. She was obviously a model, but none of us had laid eyes upon her before. When we introduced ourselves, she said she had only been in one show so far: Prada, which had an exclusive arrangement with her to open and close that show.
That was Amanda Murphy, and in a mere seven months she has become one of the top 20 models in the world, appearing in Prada print ads and numerous runway shows this past fashion week. I don’t know if she still takes the metro anymore, but we’ll be looking for her.
Jessica Hart at the Hotel Westin Paris
This was one of my favorite moments of Paris fashion week. We were walking by the Hotel Westin when we noticed this beautiful girl standing outside with her dog. It was model Jessica Hart in a pink lace Valentino dress, about to go to the Valentino show in the Tuileries. Just your average moment of incredible glamour in Paris.
