Joan Smalls at Alexander Wang
This was one of my favorite shirt-around-the-waist outfits spotted this past fashion week, on a super cute Joan Smalls after the Alexander Wang show. I think her patchwork plaid shirt is by Equipment.
Plaid Skirt and Striped Sweater, Outside Blugirl
Want an instant, free update to your look? Tie a lightweight sweater or shirt around your waist, ’90s style. That’s all you have to do to be right on trend this fall. This guest at the Blugirl show in Milan artfully mixed a plaid skirt with a striped sweater and striped platforms.
Joanna Hillman at Miu Miu
By now you know the Kenzo sweatshirts that have been everywhere this year, but the last word in luxury sweatshirts is Givenchy. Some have a religious icon theme, some an American flag theme, and some a fabulous mashup of the two, as seen on Joanna Hillman at the Miu Miu show. Also, she’s wearing a gold Scorpio necklace – detail after the jump. Fashion Scorpios, unite! (more…)
Edie Campbell at Louis Vuitton
In the final moments of Paris fashion week, model Edie Campbell opened Marc Jacobs’ final show for Louis Vuitton wearing little more than Stephen Sprouse-inspired body paint. Definitely watch the show online if you haven’t seen it already – it’s gorgeous and will surely be a historic moment in fashion. Then, she exited the tents still in full body paint – with rolly bag, on her way to the airport! It’s Edie’s trademark insouciant cool. Models: they aren’t just like us, and God bless them for it.
Viviana Volpicella at Valentino
Another example of the full skirts à la Dior that are in fashion now. When splashed with a big print, they’re like a pretty canvas, as on Viviana Volpicella at the Valentino show. Like how she has paired it with a simple navy blue sweater and button-down shirt to keep it grounded.
Elena Perminova at Valentino SS2014
Yasmin Sewell at Chloe
Such a cool hi-lo mix on fashion consultant Yasmin Sewell: a black polka dot tulle skirt worn over cropped jeans with an emerald green silk top.
Ursina Gysi at Issey Miyake
Ursina Gysi looked super cool in a black maxi skirt paired with a black pleated biker jacket with a burgundy trim at the collar at the Issey Miyake show.
Pharrell Williams at Comme des Garcons
I have to say I had no idea Pharrell Williams was so well dressed in “real life.” This is such a great mix of the patchwork coat, tee, necklaces, cuffed jeans, leopard print pony skin skater shoes, and just a glimpse of a black and white polka dot cardigan underneath. The fedora is not only elegant but perfect for a drizzly afternoon in Paris.
Helena Bordon at Issey Miyake
Loved this look on Brazil’s Helena Bordon at yesterday’s Issey Miyake show. Mixing ripped jeans and a quirky athletic-inspired tee with a floral trench and heels is daring, but it all comes together beautifully. She said that the jeans got so ripped that she had to safety pin them, but guess what? Ripped, safety-pinned jeans are definitely in fashion.
Anna Wintour at Missoni
Anna Wintour was perfectly turned out on a hot fall afternoon at the Missoni show in a Louis Vuitton floral and lace skirt
Elisa Nalin at Dries van Noten
Loved this Sonia Rykiel robin’s egg blue look on Elisa Nalin because it’s so simple, but it epitomizes what’s going on in fashion right now. Spring colors are now fall colors and vice versa. (See Marc Jacobs’ dark and moody spring collection for an example.) Another shot of her cool leaf necklace, bag and mirrored sunglasses, after the jump.
Linda Tol at Rochas
Linda Tol wore a vivid green cactus-print top and skirt by What’s Inside You, a clothing line by fellow blogger Eleanora Carisi, to the Rochas show yesterday in Paris. Also: Nike running shoes, the unexpected footwear of choice for many trendsetters during Fashion Month. Detail shot of her bag, after the jump. (more…)
