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.

Michelle Harper at Viktor & Rolf

True confession: I’ve almost given up on buying anything other than shoes and coats for winter. For five months of the year, it’s nearly all anyone sees of one’s outfit in cold New York, so you might as well have a statement-making coat. Michelle Harper wore a bold mustard yellow trench with a huge, sculptural lapel and matching shoes to the Viktor & Rolf show in Paris. It’s a great example of how one piece of clothing can make an outsized impact.

Taylor Swift at Rodarte

Dear Lord – I forgot I took this photo! Taylor Swift arrived at the Rodarte show in an exquisite lace dress by the designers. This kind of beautiful craftsmanship looks even better close up – and very pretty on the country music star, especially with her matte red lipstick.

Ulyana Sergeenko at Christian Dior

Russian designer Ulyana Sergeenko arrived at yesterday’s Christian Dior show in a sweeping black tulle gown. A dramatic entrance indeed! I also loved the vintage needlepoint clutch she carried. If you have a grandmother who liked to needlepoint, you may have one of these in your own fashion archives. Detail shot, after the jump.  (more…)

Fe Fendi at the Central Park Conservancy Luncheon

Fe Fendi arrived at the Central Park Conservancy Luncheon in a bright red silk dress with laser cut scalloped ruffles, matching umbrella and red flower fascinator. It was a beautiful splash of color in the rain.

Colorful Hair, Outside Chloe

Fashion has been so centered on clothing, bags and shoes for the past few years that it was easy to forget that there’s a whole other part of oneself to dress up: one’s head! The parade of magnificent hats at the royal wedding was a great reminder of the fashion statement women can make beyond clothing. These colorful braided hairstyles on two women outside the Chloe show in Paris may not exactly be hats, but these plus the bright fuchsia and red lipstick have the same effect of refocusing the gaze. Best of all, unlike skirts, hats and colorful hairdos can be completely outrageous and still be socially acceptable.

Trend Report: Seeing Red


Red is a given around Valentine’s Day, but this year at NY Fashion Week the trend has been more pronounced. Vibrant, saturated cherry red is showing up everywhere, particularly in accessories. The color was also a major part of yesterday’s Diane von Furstenberg fall 2011 show, so don’t expect it to disappear come February 15th. (more…)

Casablanca Look, Rachel Comey

The wide-brimmed hat, dark lipstick, vintage bag and a flared wool trench are so Ingrid Bergman in “Casablanca.” Bringing a little 1940s mystery to modern-day fashion.

Fur Hat and Fisherman’s Sweater, Rachel Comey

I love the mix in this outfit, and it’s something we’re seeing more and more. A fancy fur hat gets dressed down with a swingy wool coat and fisherman’s sweater, but then the bright silk scarf elevates the whole look again. Also: more lace-up boots, red lipstick.
