Simone Marchetti at Armani
Simone Marchetti of La Repubblica wore a great black and white plaid coat and shirt to the Armani show in Milan. And: that’s a Fendi fur keychain on his bag.
Justin O’Shea at Marc by Marc Jacobs
The ever-dapper Justin O’Shea of MyTheresa strode into the Marc by Marc Jacobs show in a gray plaid coat, gray three-piece suit, paisley tie and pink shirt. The whole look nodded to current trends (plaid, pink and paisley) but stayed within the parameters of O’Shea’s distinct personal style.
Inside the show, also attended by LVMH’s Delphine Arnaud, there were several big changes: the line is now designed by Katie Hillier and Luella Bartley, appointed this fall, and the new label name will be MBMJ.
Fur Trim Coat and Plaid Shirt at Timo Weiland
I love the mix of layers, colors and textures on this guest at the Timo Weiland show. The cherry red lipstick is the perfect finishing touch.
Olivia Palermo at Carven
Every time I see this, I get shoe envy. Over-the-knee boots are great for fall 2013, especially with a minidress like the plaid zippered Zara one Olivia Palermo wears here. And yes, that is a horde of photographers running behind her!
White Lace Dress and Plaid Jacket, Outside Chanel
I love this combination of a formal gown made of exquisite white lace with a casual beret and plaid jacket. The jewelry and Chanel bag take it up a notch further, styling-wise. Very French, very Chanel.
Chiara Ferragni at Etro
Plaid Pants and Cropped Sweater, Outside Miu Miu
A cute look on a fashion fan girl outside the Miu Miu show. We may be veering away from crop top weather right now, but this would still work under a coat. Also note the creepers!
Zanna Roberts Rassi at Rag & Bone
Alexandra Golovanoff at Iris van Herpen
The whole fashion world is mad for plaid. Outside the Iris van Herpen show in Paris, French fashion TV host Alexandra Golovanoff wore plaid pants and a plaid a jacket by Proenza Schouler. But this is one trend that everyone can get in: just take a plaid flannel and wrap it around your waist. Instant style.
Hamish Bowles at Elie Saab Couture
A little menswear for you: Vogue columnist Hamish Bowles’s choice of a plaid suit in summer 2013 seems prescient now that plaid is everywhere on the streets for men and women. Also love how his socks match his shirt.
Joan Smalls at Alexander Wang
This was one of my favorite shirt-around-the-waist outfits spotted this past fashion week, on a super cute Joan Smalls after the Alexander Wang show. I think her patchwork plaid shirt is by Equipment.
Plaid Skirt and Striped Sweater, Outside Blugirl
Want an instant, free update to your look? Tie a lightweight sweater or shirt around your waist, ’90s style. That’s all you have to do to be right on trend this fall. This guest at the Blugirl show in Milan artfully mixed a plaid skirt with a striped sweater and striped platforms.
Edie Campbell at Louis Vuitton
In the final moments of Paris fashion week, model Edie Campbell opened Marc Jacobs’ final show for Louis Vuitton wearing little more than Stephen Sprouse-inspired body paint. Definitely watch the show online if you haven’t seen it already – it’s gorgeous and will surely be a historic moment in fashion. Then, she exited the tents still in full body paint – with rolly bag, on her way to the airport! It’s Edie’s trademark insouciant cool. Models: they aren’t just like us, and God bless them for it.
Elisa Nalin at Fendi
Certain colors seem to resonate at certain times, and right now it’s green. Elisa Nalin was already rocking it last September at the Fendi show, with a green silk top under a windowpane check blazer and a sparkly green bag for a look that’s cool and summery yet pulled together.
This outfit also shows the increasing importance of menswear in the fashion category: for one thing, it’s really influencing womenswear.
Gingham Suit, Outside Gucci
OK, this was not actually this week’s menswear show, since alas I am not in Milan at this moment, but still: the look is great for summer. The saffron yellow tie really pops, and all-over gingham is a bold move.
