Virginie Mouzat at Carven
This past fashion week, we admired Virginie Mouzat, fashion editor of the Parisian daily Le Figaro, not just for her sense of style but her fearlessness on the page. In an age when so many fashion “reviews” tiptoe around anything negative in an established designer’s collection (for fear of alienating advertisers?), she completely panned Tom Ford’s collection in New York. Brava! Sometimes the truth is just black and white.
Polka Dot Dress at Ann Demeulemeester
Of all the current and runway trends to emerge from fashion week, one thing was clear: the tough biker looks of years past have given way to a new ladylike aesthetic. This black and white polka dot dress with white Prada bag, pearls and Hollywood movie star sunglasses is a great example of the tailored, pretty new look.
Postscript: She is Shala Monroque of ShalasRabbitHole.com.
Hanne Gaby Odiele, Outside Rochas
Hanne Gaby Odiele walked the runway at the Rochas show then emerged in this amazing outfit of expertly mixed patterns. Gorgeous! Keep an eye out for print pants like these – they were all the rage in Paris, both at designer and contemporary price levels.
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…)
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.
Prints and Color, Outside Jeremy Scott
Here’s another example of a riotous mix of prints and color, seen on a woman outside the Jeremy Scott show. Believe it or not, this is not a jumpsuit but separates she skillfully coordinated. The top is vintage, the shorts Versace, the shoes Topshop. More detail shots, after the jump. (more…)
Susie Lau in Prints and Color, Outside Donna Karan
Influence goes many ways when it comes to fashion. When critics like the NY Times‘ Cathy Horyn point out the profusion of prints and color in Spring 2012 collections, you can’t help but wonder if it started not on the runway, but with trendsetters like Style Bubble‘s Susie Lau, who wore wild print and color combinations long before they appeared in mainstream collections.
Wearable for the average Jane, 24/7? Maybe not. But color and print are a sort of visual daring, and the eye – and the camera – can’t help but be attracted to them.
Anna Wintour, Outside Billy Reid
Anna Wintour arrived at Friday’s Billy Reid show in an aqua blue micro print dress, a prescient choice given that prints like these have been all over the runways for Spring 2012.
Graphic Print Mini, By the F Station
Long, flowing maxi skirts may be all the rage this spring, but let’s face it: if a girl’s got the legs, why give up the mini? Here, a graphic print mini gets paired with a cropped black biker jacket, long white cardigan and black tights – the quintessential day-to-evening outfit for the Lower East Side.
