Three Looks at Manhattan Vintage, April 2021
Belkis Whyte and the Ladies of Beriqisu, Manhattan Vintage, April 2021
Kristen Bateman at Rebecca Minkoff FW2021
I have been drawn to fashion writer Kristen Bateman’s cheerful Instagram feed during this pandemic – always full of her signature bright colors and cool beauty tricks. Her crossbody bag – which is not a cat, in case you were wondering – is also quite timely.
Dior Look, Place de Trocadero, February 2020
Print Pantsuit, Outside Dries Van Noten FW2020
A look from Paris, February 2020. I am long on loud prints and colors for spring. Getting dressed to leave the house has taken on a sort of performative aspect since no one is dressing to go to the office anymore – so why follow the rules? Wear whatever you like, the wilder, the better.
Lynn Yaeger in Greenwich Village, November 2020
Just as I was despairing about the state of fashion in a never-ending cycle of sweatpants and yet more sweatpants, I rounded the corner of University Place and espied Lynn Yaeger in her usual finery. Yes, it is month 7? – 8? – of this nightmare and still she has not succumbed to the siren song of stretchy cotton jersey!
Shoes, Glorious Shoes: Tamara Kalinic at Etro FW2020
In the Mix: Kristen Bateman at Nina Ricci FW2020
Boho Chic, Thompson Street, June 2020
Sweatpants may be forever, but personally I am gravitating towards boho prints and loose, rumply cotton this summer, like this look spotted in the Village in June. You may be dressed, but it feels like you’re wearing… pajamas!
Easter Vibes, Outside Brock Collection FW2020
Prints Charming: Jenke Ahmed Tailly at Viktor & Rolf FW2018
When matchy-matchy really works, as seen on top stylist Jenke Ahmed Tailly at the Viktor & Rolf show.
Pajama Dressing: Hailey Gates at Prada Resort 2019
Pajama dressing, the luxe and louche trend of a couple of years ago, does not seem to be going away anytime soon. Fashion influencers like Hailey Gates and Virginia Smith wore silk pajamas to the Prada resort show, and Louis Vuitton has just announced a collaboration with Grace Coddington – including the cat’s pajamas.
Winning: TK Wonder and Cipriana Quann at Variety’s Power of Women Luncheon
So there were a lot of celebs at Variety’s Power of Women luncheon in NYC on Friday – it recognized philanthropic women in the entertainment industry – but these two familiar faces from fashion week were seriously #winning for best spring outfits. If TK Wonder and Cipriana can’t get you inspired for more spring fashion, nothing will!
Kozue Akimoto at Comme des Garçons FW2018
The beautiful Kozue in Comme des Garçons in Paris. And yes, she could walk quite gracefully in these shoes. Impressive!
