Bye Bye, NY! Irina Kravchenko at Rebecca Minkoff FW2015

Irina Kravchenko at Rebecca Minkoff FW2015Bye bye, NY – I am heading to Milan and Paris for the next fashion weeks. The last time I traveled, I got stuck in Charles de Gaulle airport, but at least it was with super stylish model Irina Kravchenko. Here’s wishing everyone safe travels this fashion season.

Expert Layering: Belted Trench Coat at Michael Kors FW2015

Belted Trench Coat, Outside Michael Kors

One thing the cold weather elicited in New York fashion week guests was a flair for layering. A guest at the Michael Kors show layered a turtleneck and plaid dress under a trench coat, but kept it from getting too conservative by cinching her coat with a leather belt and adding a nose ring and multiple earrings. Also: necklaces over turtlenecks are A Thing now. Celine bag.

Sarah Ann Murray at Schiaparelli Couture SS2015

Sarah Ann Murray at Schiaparelli SS2015

 

Sarah Ann Murray of The Rake magazine layered a plaid cape over a plaid jacket at the Schiaparelli couture show in Paris, to great visual effect. And also practical warmth, as mentioned in today’s New York Times Thursday Styles, where my photo of Irene Kim in layered coats illustrates the point!

Another cool detail we saw several times on Paris couture week attendees: decorative leather buckles at the neck of jackets and capes.

Natalya Bogacheva at Rick Owens SS2015

Natalya Bogacheva at Rick Owens SS2015

Moi, je ne suis pas Charlie.

I am not nearly as daring or provocative as the cartoonists and editors behind Charlie Hebdo. But like many I am drawn to the provocateurs. Artists and free thinkers are indelibly associated with the city of Paris and should be always. In the world of fashion they would be the punks or those who dare to wear the crazy things no one else would. At the Rick Owens show, Natalya Bogacheva was one of them, donning Thom Browne’s rabbit ears hat and mask to twirl in front of the Eiffel Tower. Vive la Paris.

Another over-the-knee look, this time with knee socks on model Molly Bair right after the Prada show in Milan. Needless to say, it helps if you have legs up to here.

David Thielebeule at Tory Burch SS2015

David Thielebeule at Tory Burch SS2015Yes, already we are back to leather jacket season and this was a particularly cool one on WSJ’s David Thiebeuele yesterday at Lincoln Center. He mixed it with a white tee, windowpane plaid pants and lace-up oxfords. Note that he did not go for sneakers – keeping it sophisticated with just the right ratio of casual to formal. You have to walk the line.

Nicole Warne at Giambattista Valli FW2014

Nicole Warne at Giambattista Valli FW2014

It started pouring as the Giambattista Valli ended in Paris this season, and while many fashionistas melted down (including one yelling on her phone to her missing driver: “My head is getting wet! Why is this happening?!?!”) Nicole Warne of Gary Pepper kept her cool. The scarf at her neck quickly became a head scarf matching her pink plaid skirt. The white booties by Nicholas Kirkwood are really cute for spring.

Michelle Elie at Issey Miyake FW2014

This time it was a fabulous red plaid outfit with designer Rei Kawakubo’s signature complex twists and folds. The gold filigree sunglasses are Dolce & Gabbana and the killer spiked heels (literally, you could probably kill someone with them) are Louboutin. Close up after the jump.  (more…)
