Black and White Print, Outside Issey Miyake
Loved the graphic print on this black and white top outside the Issey Miyake show. The maxi skirt with blue colorblocking, red striped belt and wooden bead necklaces take it up another notch. And! The metallic polka dot bag. A great look.

Here’s another black and white look – Kate Lanphear at Dior in le smoking. The menswear inspired pumps are also black and white. Perfection.

Leigh Lezark at Viktor & Rolf
Leigh Lezark looked smoking hot walking into the Tuileries in a dress for the Viktor & Rolf show in a dress by the designer duo. It’s a fabulous, body-con sportswear look that has been big on the runways for Spring 2012 too.

Stephanie LaCava at Haider Ackermann
In some odd confluence of global warming (er, “climate change”), the endless cycle of new collections, and designers’ mashup of pre-fall, fall, resort and spring trends, bright colors that are normally the hallmark of springtime clothes have really been a hit during this super sunny October Paris fashion week. Fashion influencer Stephanie LaCava wore a bright yellow silk print top and black silk shorts outside Saturday’s Haider Ackermann show.

Julia Sarr-Jamois in the Tuileries
In case you haven’t heard us complaining all the way in New York, it’s been brutally hot in Paris this fashion week, so hot that the Tuileries feel more like the set of Lawrence of Arabia. Julia Sarr-Jamois, fashion editor of Wonderland Magazine, adeptly balanced fall fashion with hot weather in a lightweight black floral dress and silver sandals.

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…)

Anna Dello Russo at Balmain
Anna Dello Russo posed for dozens of photographers in a window display of gilded mirrors outside the Balmain show yesterday. Love how the studded black and gold dress (Versace SS 2012?) goes with the backdrop!

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.

Anna Wintour at Carven
Since Guillaume Henry took the reins as head designer at Carven last spring, this storied brand has gone through quite a renaissance. Top fashion editors including Anna Wintour attended the show yesterday in the Tuileries.
Wintour arrived gorgeously attired in a dress that combines modern textiles and technique with a flared ’50s skirt – look out for more of these come spring – and a jeweled choker. But most importantly, Wintour demonstrates how fashion can convey power. Even without the bodyguard at right, it would be easy to tell from the expert cut, luxury and colorful flamboyance of her clothes that she is the queen bee.

Sui He in Blue, Outside the Rochas Show
There’s no shortage of fabulously dressed models off duty at Paris Fashion Week. One to watch is Sui He, seen here yesterday outside the Rochas show in a vivid blue dress, black Yves Saint Laurent bag and black wedge suede booties.

All White, Outside the Honor Show
If, like me, you are confused about what to wear when it’s still hot and humid at the end of September, here’s one idea: don’t put away your summer whites just yet. They still look chic on a sunny day, especially when paired with bright or metallic accessories.

Leopard Top and Blue Celine Bag, Outside 3.1 Phillip Lim
The fashion set is definitely cliquey when it comes to favoring certain brands. Last spring, a number of editors wore Prada’s stripes to the Paris shows. This fall, Céline handbags have been on the arms of many. For color trends, look for lots of this vivid blue – we’ll call it Bill Cunningham blue – a surprising and refreshing color for fall. And of course the rest of her outfit is equally brilliant – from the sheer leopard top to the two-tone sunglasses to the studded bracelets and black and gold nail polish.

Kate Lanphear at Prabal Gurung
Notice that Elle Style Director Kate Lanphear is wearing the same thing to the Prabal Gurung show that she wore in this previous photo? It was no accident: Lanphear wore variations of the same all-black outfit every day of NY Fashion Week. For someone who’s one of the most photographed fashion editors around, it was a really interesting statement about personal style. Lanphear’s signature Goth fashionista look may have spurred a lot of trends, but her style is timeless.

Red and Pink Colorblocking, Outside Prabal Gurung
Colorblocking this season is all about breaking the rules. Pink and red don’t go together? Fuggedaboutit. This redhead pulls it off with panache outside the Prabal Gurung show, getting out of an equally colorful NYC yellow cab. And the pants are fabulously outrageous bell bottoms.

Lauren Santo Domingo at Prabal Gurung
Here’s another Voguette (and Moda Operandi founder) with great personal style: Lauren Santo Domingo. Love how she combines the pink blazer with pinkish beige silk pants for a cool tone-on-tone mix. Also note the boxy shape of the blazer, the new mannish-girl look for fall 2011.
