Caroline Seiber at Theyskens’ Theory
One thing I have personally been obsessed with this past fall is sheer black stockings. Formerly relegated to the back of the drawer in favor of opaque tights, they’ve made a huge comeback. Always ahead of the curve, Caroline Seiber paired a gorgeous gray dress (gray – also very au courant) with sexy sheer black stockings at last February’s Theyskens’ Theory show.
Fashionista Gift Guide 2012
There may be some fashionistas out there who aren’t materialists, but if so, I have never met them. You don’t have to break the bank, though, to get the look and feel of luxury. Here are 20 gift ideas for the fashion person in your life – and most are under $100!
Tiffany Hsu at Balenciaga
Hong Kong’s Lane Crawford buyer Tiffany Hsu wore the coolest blue quilted dress to the Balenciaga show. The dress designer is Chictopia (like the website but not), but it’s not available in the West. The cobalt blue suede shoes are the perfect accessory.
Miu Miu Mirror Paillette Dress, Outside Prada
On 57th Street and Fifth Avenue in New York, the shop windows are sparkling right now with rhinestone embellished shoes (Miu Miu) and mirrored backdrops for mirrored dresses (Naeem Khan at Bergdorf Goodman). This Miu Miu mirror paillette dress seen outside the Prada show would be an irreverent and fun take on holiday party dressing. The dress is sheer, but I like how she has worn black underneath to keep it simple. Pair it with sexy sheer black stockings in cold weather. (more…)
Hanneli in the Rain, Outside Alexander Wang
Greetings from NYC. Things have been a little crazy here. This is a photo from another freaky weather moment in NYC, when the skies opened up after the Alexander Wang show and a major thunderstorm ensued. Kudos to everyone who demonstrates grace under pressure no matter what the weather.
Texture Play, Outside Chanel
One way to keep winter clothes from getting boring is to seek out interesting textures. Love how this guest combined a black and white graphic popcorn sweater with a quilted A-line skirt at the Chanel show.
Anna Dello Russo in Prada at Viktor & Rolf
There are designers, there are fashion shows and then there are the designers that fashion editors actually wear, and in that regard Prada has been a favorite for years now. Anna Dello Russo wore the bright orange pantsuit Prada runway look from the Fall 2012 collection to the Viktor & Rolf show in Paris. One look at this outfit tells you that pantsuits have definitely shed their dowdy image for fall 2012, reemerging as vibrant and fashion-forward.

Susie Lau at Chloe
Layering dresses over pants was a big trend on the runway for fall 2012, but few have been able to carry it off in real life as well as Susie Lau of Style Bubble. Outside the Chloe show she mixed prints in bright red and blue with a blue cardigan, two handbags and red Valentino shoes.
Dior Dress, Outside the Show
Raf Simons’ ready-to-wear debut at Dior was one of the most highly anticipated events at Paris Fashion Week, so guests really dressed to the max. This young woman wore a gorgeous blue print Dior gown to the show.
Street Chic: Boating Blazer and Saddle Shoes, Jazz Age Lawn Party
This sporty outfit seen may look vintage, but it’s actually a mix of modern day Thom Browne, Ralph Lauren and J. Crew – and testament to how much the 1920s are currently influencing men’s fashion.
Street Chic: Dolce & Gabbana Dress, RICA Swimwear Party
Last night’s RICA Swimwear spring preview took place at the rooftop bar of the Mondrian Soho, Soaked. It was the perfect setting for a flirty, chic dress from Dolce & Gabbana that combined leopard and scarf prints. (more…)
Hanneli Mustaparta in Tibi
Remember when it was cool enough to wear things like – oh, I don’t know – pants? I am already craving the chill of fall and found inspiration in this look on Hanneli Mustaparta. The cute striped peplum jacket is Tibi, the shoes Tabitha Simmons, and the bag Acne. Close ups of her accessories after the jump. (more…)
Street Chic: All White Maternity Look
Not surprisingly, all white outfits have been a popular choice during the blisteringly hot summer of 2012. But I especially like how this woman on Madison Avenue interpreted all white for maternity with a long white cotton skirt and crochet tank top. The black and white Chanel bag is the icing on the cake.
Street Chic: Blue Shorts and a Straw Hat
Here’s another stylish look from a blazing hot Paris fashion week: brightly-colored, high-waisted shorts and a straw topper. If you’ve got legs, shorts are super flattering. Dress them up with a nice blouse and espadrille wedges.
Sarah Rutson in a Little Black Dress
Never underestimate the power of a little black dress – even during a heat wave. Sarah Rutson of Lane Crawford styled hers with a black vest cinched with a double-wrapped belt during Paris fashion week. It’s a sleek and stylish way of layering for alternating heat and air conditioning.
