Fox-Print Dress and Wide-Brimmed Hat, Outside Prabal Gurung
Another great interpretation of 70s redux. Love the floppy wide-brimmed hat, and the fox print on this dress is like something out of The Ice Storm. But topping the whole look off with fuchsia lipstick puts it firmly in spring 2011.
Addendum: The dress is Opening Ceremony X Deyrolle.

Joanna Hillman at Donna Karan
Joanna Hillman looked particularly glamorous at the Donna Karan show in a long, silver sequined skirt by J.Crew. It works beautifully for daytime when paired with a black blazer.

Brad Goreski at DVF
Other news in blues: Some trend forecasters say that cerulean blue will be the color to wear this spring. (The Rag & Bone jeans in cobalt blue are pretty tempting.) Stylist Brad Goreski, who just got his own Bravo show, wore a bright blue Man Men-esque suit and tie at the Diane von Furstenberg show.

Nicole Phelps in 70s Jeans, Outside Chloe
Style.com fashion critic Nicole Phelps was one of the first to start sporting the wide-legged 70s jeans that are hitting stores now. She’s also proof that they look great. Here she mixes them with other themes from the runways, like the 70s redux shearling jacket, sailor stripes and a cool scarf printed with 16th-century tall ships.

Ruby Aldridge in Navy Blue, Outside Chloe
Is navy is the new black? That’s how things are shaping up for fashion muses like model Ruby Aldridge, who made her exit from the Chloe runway in a long-sleeved navy blue lace dress, artfully styled with a belt and sunglasses looped through.
Note that she has mixed navy with a black fringed bag, brown woven belt and white sunglasses, which looks much cooler and more relaxed than a navy blue outfit that’s all matchy-matchy.

Navajo Cloak, Greene Street
It’s the end of March, and temperatures in New York are still below freezing. The only solution to this scenario may be to start dressing for fall 2011, when Navajo patterns like this one will still be very much in style. The American Southwest played a big part in collections by Isabel Marant and Filson (not to mention this spring’s Rodarte x Opening Ceremony collection), and it looks really fresh on the city streets.
Julia Frakes at Oscar de la Renta
Love the real life “Gossip Girl” style of Julia Frakes in a prep school blazer with a white cotton dress and tights at the Oscar de la Renta show. According to her tumblr blog Julia Bunny (formerly Bunny Bisous), the dress, tights, and shoes are Chloë Sevigny for Opening Ceremony, the blazer is Topshop with a vintage pin, the sunglasses are Karen Walker.
Here’s another photo of her in a great outfit at last season’s Oscar show.

Khaki and Orange, Outside Viktor & Rolf
Orange is popping up everywhere in spring fashion. This jolt of color is surprisingly versatile when you pair it with neutrals like khaki.

Prada Monkey Top, Outside Viktor & Rolf
Prada’s spring 2011 collection has been a huge hit with buyers and editors, who wore many of Prada’s colorful stripes, fur scarves and brightly printed tops to the Paris shows. This Prada monkey print top gives new meaning to the term “animal print” and has been just as coveted as the leopard prints of fall.

Caroline Issa at Viktor & Rolf
Speaking of pointy collars, fashion editor Caroline Issa of Tank Magazine also wore a pointy-collared shirt to the Viktor & Rolf show. Even if an exquisitely embroidered blouse like this one is not in the cards for you, a plain white collared shirt will also do the trick. Also, love the mirrored sunglasses and pink lipstick! Full length view including shoes after the jump. (more…)

Bill Cunningham New York
If you see no other movie this spring, make sure you see this entertaining, funny and touching documentary on New York Times photographer Bill Cunningham, playing in many cities across the U.S. Without Mr. Cunningham, street style blogs like this one would not exist. And yes, kids, he was around long before the Sartorialist!
The film chronicles the master of the street style photography from his early career as a milliner through his years starting out in photography in the ’60s to the present day. His nomadic, ascetic daily existence consists of riding his bike to fashion shows and glamorous charity benefits, photographing gorgeous and expensive clothing, then going home to a teeny apartment above Carnegie Hall furnished with filing cabinets and a single cot. He has since moved to a more spacious apartment, and he’s on his 29th bike (the first 28 were stolen), but little else has changed in a life spent pursuing beauty though photography, for which he eventually won a Legion of Honour award in France.
True confession: I make an unintentional cameo in the film! It involves Anna Wintour and the Oscar de la Renta show. I took this photo of Cunningham at top at that same show. It has always been an honor to photograph alongside a true artist and a gentleman.

Spring Color in Cold Weather, Outside Chloe
Yes, it is annoying that the cold continues even when it should be spring. But wearing a black parka in March makes the weather more depressing for us all. Here’s a great example of how to stay warm and look springlike: lighten up the colors and layer them. Outside the Chloe show, this woman expertly mixed texture and pattern in a light palette of blues and beiges. Also, note the pointy collar peeking out over a sweater – a detail being adopted by a few super chic ladies right now.

Leigh Lezark at Olivier Theyskens’ Theory
Such a cool mix of high and street fashion. The tee says “Olivier,” the bag and sunglasses are Chanel.

7 Days of Anna Dello Russo
Rarely do you see anyone have as much fun with fashion as Anna Dello Russo. Just when we thought she couldn’t top the last outrageously fashionable outfit during Paris fashion week, she would arrive in a completely different ensemble, having gone back to the hotel to change between shows. She favors designers from her native Italy and doesn’t shy from color or pattern. I can’t imagine how she packs the variety of headpieces, boots, suits, furs, jewels and dresses it takes for a single week, but I picture a couple of Louis Vuitton steamer trunks in her hotel room. Hats off to this over-the-top fashion plate who radiates chic sunshine wherever she goes. A seven-day roundup, after the jump. (more…)

Man in a Plastic Chapeau, Costume National
This outfit is not for the faint of heart, but I found it utterly fascinating. He kind of looks like a young Prince (the artist known as) in a dramatic clear plastic hat, the white shirt tufted with roses, vintage bag and oversize stopwatch. Gender-bending genius.
