Miroslava in Chloe
Miroslava is one of the reasons we look forward to Paris fashion week. She is always so beautifully dressed, often in a lot of color, and never boring. She wore Chloe to the designer’s show Monday in the Tuileries.

Fringed Sweater and Tiger Print Dress, Outside Giambattista Valli
I love the tribal-ness of this outfit – the fringed sleeve of the deconstructed sweater looks like a hank of fur, and the tiger stripes are fierce in their own right. Indeed, preparing for a fashion show is a lot like preparing for battle.

Tulle Skirt, Outside Stella McCartney
A particularly windy day added to the drama of this gorgeous outfit outside yesterday’s Stella McCartney show. A tulle skirt is sexy in black, not too girlish, and the Jil Sander knit cap with veil, first spotted on Anna Dello Russo, has become a real hit with the fashion crowd. The half-and-half stockings are the icing on the cake.

JJ Martin at Hermes
This outfit is testament to the power of vintage. JJ Martin’s dress, belt and bag are all vintage yet so current-looking. The fur vest is Piazza Sempione, and the shoes are Balenciaga. A gorgeous look for an American in Paris.

Sama and Haya Abu Khadra at Costume National
I must admit I’m a little obsessed with twins Sama and Haya Abu Khadra from Dubai. They’re fabulous dressers – they are the very young buyers for their mother’s lifestyle boutique The Art of Living – but their beauty is just breathtaking.

Michelle Harper in Ivory Brocade
Michelle Harper wore a beautiful ivory brocade dress and coat to yesterday’s Viktor & Rolf show in the Tuileries. So timeless and elegant, perfect for Paris. And the gloves! Very Grace Kelly.

Tilda Swinton at Haider Ackermann
Even the most jaded fashion show regulars have been literally atwitter about the presence of actress Tilda Swinton at Paris fashion week. She emerged from the Haider Ackermann show yesterday in a beautifully tailored purple silk jacket and emerald green silk pants and posed for us. Very cool.

Outside the Café de la Musée, After Dior
Twice a year after the Dior fashion show at the Musée Rodin, this unassuming little café around the corner becomes a hotbed of fashion. A woman in an exquisite green brocade pantsuit stood under the awning with several other guests from the show.

Eleonora Carisi at Ann Demeulemeester
Eleonora Carisi of popular Italian fashion blog JouJou Villeroy has been making quite an impression on the Milan and Paris fashion week scenes with her beautiful, colorful clothing and playful style. This pop of yellow was a welcome dose of sunshine on a gray day outside the Ann Demeulemeester show. Also, I am really loving the look of a bejeweled necklace worn over a sweater and just beneath the shirt collar for spring. It’s a style we’ve seen on several fashionable girls here.

Kate Lanphear at Carven
Graphic black and red defined Kate Lanphear’s look yesterday during Paris fashion week. The jacket, red tiger-print sweater and black wayfarers have real urban polish. Meanwhile, cropped black leather trousers could be considered avant garde even in the fashion world, where skinny jeans are still the order of the day. Lanphear is ever the rule breaker in all the right ways.

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.

Navy Toggle Cloak, Outside Louis Vuitton
If you can’t tear yourself away from dark winter colors just yet, at least try experimenting with navy, a lighter, springier neutral. Seen here: a hooded navy toggle cloak outside Louis Vuitton show. The look is a little bit collegiate, a little bit romantic, and all around flattering.

Tweed Coat and Spectator Shoes, Outside Lanvin
An aristocratic look of a voluminous tweed cloak with spectator shoes and a bob haircut. Unusual but compelling.

Shala Monroque at Valentino
One of the most stylish women at fashion week, Shala Monroque made a splash at Valentino with bright yellow peeking out from under a coat with a fur collar – a great way to usher in the spring.
