Lynn Yaeger at Chanel
Long before personal style bloggers and other street style darlings started mixing patterns, Lynn Yaeger was doing it in her own post-punk fashion. At the Chanel show, she wore plaid, checks and a fairisle print backpack with her signature layered tulle skirts.

Elena Perminova at Chanel
I’ve photographed Russian former model Elena Perminova at previous fashion weeks, but this season I became totally obsessed with her. Her outfits were totally amazing day after day, including this daring surrealist print worn head to toe at Chanel. The pattern is actually retro telephone buttons. She created an absolute frenzy among the street style photographers when she crossed the street after the Chanel show. Another close-up shot after the jump. (more…)

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.

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.

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.

Julia Sarr-Jamois at Alberta Ferretti
Julia Sarr Jamois is an expert rule-breaker. At Alberta Ferretti she wore a baby blue jacket printed with cartoon surfers and palm trees. Mix that with gray trousers, a leopard bag and discreet black and white pumps and you have something completely irreverent – and genius. Detail shot after the jump. (more…)

Elisa Nalin at Gucci
She has such a painterly eye for color and pattern. Gorgeous! And notice she’s wearing the color of the moment: oxblood, seen in a lot of FW2012 collections.

Sarah Rutson at Rag & Bone
Sarah Rutson, fashion director of Hong Kong’s Lane Crawford, wore green silk Dries van Noten pants and a black leather jacket to Friday’s Rag & Bone show. It’s a great example of a glamorous, versatile day-to-night outfit, a necessity for fashion week days that don’t end until 10pm or later.

Stephanie LaCava and Bryanboy
Here’s another stylish duo for you: Stephanie LaCava and Bryanboy at Jason Wu. Though fashion week can be grueling, there are many happy reunions going on at the shows. These two friends and street style stars are particularly adept at wearing color and prints.

Michelle Harper at Theyskens' Theory
I’ve been looking through some old photos before next week’s NY Fashion Week and came across this one of Michelle Harper (with Tommy Ton in the background). Love how her look is a cross between super modern and old Hollywood glamour.

Prints Please
Digital printing has made even the most complex patterns a reality, as Holli Rogers and Natalie Massenet demonstrate with two intricately printed dresses, one a snakeskin pattern, the other a floral, seen here outside the Chloe show in Paris.
