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.

Miroslava Mikheeva Duma at Stella McCartney

Another Russian who’s been making waves at Paris fashion week is fashion correspondent Miroslava Mikheeva Duma, seen here in a fringed suede Prada dress that she described as “old,” aka vintage. Love the saturated fall colors.

Anya Ziourova at Hermes

At the Hermès show, Anya Ziourova of Russian Tatler wore a gorgeous necklace and botanical print dress that echoed the vivid flora and fauna prints that have been appearing in many spring collections. Full length shot after the jump.  (more…)

Black and White Print, Outside Issey Miyake

Loved the graphic print on this black and white top outside the Issey Miyake show. The maxi skirt with blue colorblocking, red striped belt and wooden bead necklaces take it up another notch. And! The metallic polka dot bag. A great look.

Kate Lanphear in Black and White at Dior

Here’s another black and white look – Kate Lanphear at Dior in le smoking. The menswear inspired pumps are also black and white. Perfection.

Black and White Look, Outside Costume National

Black and white has long been a popular sartorial choice in early fall, when it’s still too warm for lots of autumn color. This year the fashion set is interpreting it with a distinct menswear spin. Sharp, crisp lines evoke tuxedos and spats, but the cut is very modern and sleek. Even her shoes are black and white – detail after the jump.

Leigh Lezark at Viktor & Rolf

Leigh Lezark looked smoking hot walking into the Tuileries in a dress for the Viktor & Rolf show in a dress by the designer duo. It’s a fabulous, body-con sportswear look that has been big on the runways for Spring 2012 too.

Stephanie LaCava at Haider Ackermann

In some odd confluence of global warming (er, “climate change”), the endless cycle of new collections, and designers’ mashup of pre-fall, fall, resort and spring trends, bright colors that are normally the hallmark of springtime clothes have really been a hit during this super sunny October Paris fashion week. Fashion influencer Stephanie LaCava wore a bright yellow silk print top and black silk shorts outside Saturday’s Haider Ackermann show.

Julia Sarr-Jamois in the Tuileries

In case you haven’t heard us complaining all the way in New York, it’s been brutally hot in Paris this fashion week, so hot that the Tuileries feel more like the set of Lawrence of Arabia. Julia Sarr-Jamois, fashion editor of Wonderland Magazine, adeptly balanced fall fashion with hot weather in a lightweight black floral dress and silver sandals.

Ulyana Sergeenko at Christian Dior

Russian designer Ulyana Sergeenko arrived at yesterday’s Christian Dior show in a sweeping black tulle gown. A dramatic entrance indeed! I also loved the vintage needlepoint clutch she carried. If you have a grandmother who liked to needlepoint, you may have one of these in your own fashion archives. Detail shot, after the jump.  (more…)

Anna Dello Russo at Balmain

Anna Dello Russo posed for dozens of photographers in a window display of gilded mirrors outside the Balmain show yesterday. Love how the studded black and gold dress (Versace SS 2012?) goes with the backdrop!

Fishing Lure Dress, Outside Ann Demeulemeester

One word: j’adore! A subversively cute Giles Deacon fishing lure print dress outside Ann Demeulemeester, worn with Rick Owens boots and black sunglasses. Just the right mix of tough and twee.

Anna Wintour at Carven

Since Guillaume Henry took the reins as head designer at Carven last spring, this storied brand has gone through quite a renaissance. Top fashion editors including Anna Wintour attended the show yesterday in the Tuileries.

Wintour arrived gorgeously attired in a dress that combines modern textiles and technique with a flared ’50s skirt – look out for more of these come spring – and a jeweled choker. But most importantly, Wintour demonstrates how fashion can convey power. Even without the bodyguard at right, it would be easy to tell from the expert cut, luxury and colorful flamboyance of her clothes that she is the queen bee.

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.

Nicholas Kirkwood Shoes on Stephanie LaCava

I received a press release about Miranda Kerr’s fabulous shoes at the Met Costume Gala this morning and recognized them from Paris fashion week, where they also appeared on the feet of style star Stephanie LaCava in the black version. Here they are, by Nicholas Kirkwood – totally lust-worthy.  Full shot of Ms. LaCava after the jump. (more…)
