Susie Lau at Rodarte
A cute look on Susie Bubble at the Rodarte show, including a Eugenia Kim hat. Cat motifs are still popping up in accessories including Charlotte Olympia’s kitty flats.
Emmanuelle Alt at Rodarte
Black leather pants are already popping up everywhere for fall. Here Emmanuelle Alt gave a black suede pair a spin outside the Rodarte show.
Linen Blazer and Khakis, Outside Timo Weiland
Linen is key in hot weather, but an entire linen suit can be a wrinkly hassle. Instead this guest at NY fashion week mixed a cream colored linen blazer with pale chinos for the tone-on-tone look of a suit. To finish it off: a pocket square and green suede loafers worn without socks.
Elisa Nalin at Fendi
Certain colors seem to resonate at certain times, and right now it’s green. Elisa Nalin was already rocking it last September at the Fendi show, with a green silk top under a windowpane check blazer and a sparkly green bag for a look that’s cool and summery yet pulled together.
This outfit also shows the increasing importance of menswear in the fashion category: for one thing, it’s really influencing womenswear.
Printed Polo, Outside DKNY
Sometimes a snazzy shirt is all you need. This guy is one of many to mix daywear with neon bright sneakers – a high-low combination that works especially well if you add luxe accessories like a leather zip bag.
Blue Suit and Brown Hat, Milan
Here’s more snappy dressing from a previous season in Milan: a perfectly tailored suit in cornflower blue looks great with a dark brown hat and orange briefcase.
Gingham Suit, Outside Gucci
OK, this was not actually this week’s menswear show, since alas I am not in Milan at this moment, but still: the look is great for summer. The saffron yellow tie really pops, and all-over gingham is a bold move.
Karl-Edwin Guerre at Dior
Menswear is becoming an increasingly big part of the retail market, and this week marks the start of men’s SS2014 fashion week with shows in London. Here are a few looks from the archives of great menswear on the streets. Photographer Karl-Edwin Guerre sported a great summer look of yellow madras pants, brown straw fedora, blue button down and matching blue oxfords outside the Dior show.
Floral Jacket and Celine Bag at Rodarte
I loved this look on a guest at the Rodarte show. It’s a great mix of elements: an edgy leather skirt meets a girly floral jacket, all tied together with cool accessories: chunky sunglasses, green necklace, lots of bracelets and of course the covetable Celine bag.
Meredith Melling Burke at Theyskens’ Theory
Wide, pleated trousers like these on Meredith Melling Burke continue to appear on runways for resort 2014 – a worthwhile investment. And I’m a sucker for the raffia bag, a beachwear classic.
The Courtin-Clarins at Rodarte
Snakeskin Print Tee, Outside Derek Lam
Graphic print tees are a cool way to amp up your summer wardrobe, but building an outfit around them can be challenging. This guy at the Derek Lam show layered a snakeskin print tee over a white button down and paired it with neutral khakis and black accessories – a strategy that would work for men and women.
Miroslava Duma in Lanvin
One from the archives: Miroslava Duma in a green tween Lanvin tweed top and miniskirt. Love how she mixed it with an army green jacket, lots of bracelets and a delicious little Chanel bag.
All Black Vintage Look, Outside Rodarte
Here’s more black for summertime, this time on a guest at the Rodarte show dressed head to toe in vintage. The perfectly tousled hair gives the whole look a Stevie Nicks-ian quality.
Eva Chen at Peter Som
Even in summer, fashion people tend to gravitate towards black clothing. But it’s nice to mix it up with a colorful print, as Eva Chen does here in a black Marc Jacobs swan print dress outside the Peter Som show. The Miu Miu glitter sunglasses make it even more fun.
