Taylor Tomasi Hill at Alexander Wang
Taylor Tomasi Hill looked luminous in a blue-green silk dress (with tiny polka dots!) at the Alexander Wang show.
Two Girls Arm in Arm, Vivienne Tam Show
Two very pretty girls in very pretty Vivienne Tam dresses with fringe, entering the Vivienne Tam show.
Anna Dello Russo, Outside Prabal Gurung
Like many fashionable Italians, Anna Dello Russo appreciates exquisite detail. She arrived at the Prabal Gurung show in a bejeweled satin mini dress and gold Louis Vuitton bag. Very Anna! Her shoes, after the jump. (more…)
Punk Look, Outside Billy Reid
Another great look from outside the Billy Reid show: part punk, with torn jeans and a skinny tie, part diva with hair piled high, heels and a black patent clutch.
Anna Wintour, Outside Billy Reid
Anna Wintour arrived at Friday’s Billy Reid show in an aqua blue micro print dress, a prescient choice given that prints like these have been all over the runways for Spring 2012.
Stars and Stripes Jeans, Outside Milk Studios

Fashion Week on the 10-Year Anniversary of 9/11
Joanna Hillman, Outside Jason Wu
Street style darling Joanna Hillman of Harper’s Bazaar was back in action yesterday, sporting a cute and creative combination of denim shirt and pleated ivory silk skirt. (I loved her prep secrets for Fashion Week interview from last season – the dreaded rolling rack of outfits must be out again.) Her metallic YSL wedges, after the jump. (more…)
Linda Fargo, Outside Rag & Bone
One of the most exciting trends to take off this fall is the colorblocking of bright, solid separates. Outside yesterday’s Rag & Bone show, Bergdorf Goodman’s Linda Fargo demonstrated her keen eye for color with a DVF top and vintage Guy Laroche red leather skirt, from Alber Elbaz’s term as head designer.
All White, Vivienne Tam Show
In a recent interview with various designers, WWD asked them: white after Labor Day, yes or no? Most said yes – with certain conditions attached. It has to look intentional, not haphazard. Here’s a crisp, chic look outside the Vivienne Tam show last September – especially great with neon accessories.
Leather Skirt, Vivienne Tam Show
Here’s another look from last September’s fashion week that’s still very relevant right now. The leather skirt should be a key piece for fall, especially this one by Joie. Love the necklace, too.
Sarah Rutson in Short Shorts, Donna Karan Show
If you barely remember how to dress yourself in anything other than flip flops and shorts, it’s time for a refresher course before NY Fashion Week. Fortunately many of last September’s attendees were so ahead of the curve, their looks can easily be adopted for this fall.
And you don’t necessarily have to give up those shorts. Here, Lane Crawford’s Sarah Rutson wears short shorts with a long necklace, military green Proenza Schouler PS1 bag (always in fashion) and lace-up suede boots, dressing up a sporty chic outfit for the Donna Karan show. (more…)
Backless Maxi Dress, Prince Street
Bill Cunningham managed to spot way more maxi dresses than short shorts this summer, particularly near his usual stomping grounds on 57th and Fifth, the opposite of what we saw downtown. It begs the question: do downtowners dress much differently than uptowners? Here’s a bohemian version of the maxi dress, backless and floral, downtown on Prince Street.
Gray Bowler Hat and Suspenders, Jazz Age Lawn Party
Some of the best outfits at the Jazz Age Lawn Party mixed new and old – like a bowler hat, suspenders, high waisted trousers and a plain V-neck tee.
