Gray Peplum and Gingham Dress, Outside Chanel

Delfina Delettrez Fendi

One of the coolest things about the peplum on this gingham dress on Delfina Delettrez Fendi outside the Chanel show is that it appears to be completely detachable. Retro style, deconstructed! And I love the bag.

Post amended to include her name

Karl-Edwin Guerre at Gucci

The cover of today’s New York Times features a photo of the Instagram guys, whose company was just bought for $1 billion. But what did they wear to the photo shoot with the New York Times? Ill-fitting jeans and slovenly, untucked button downs. It’s really a disgrace!

Guys: there is a difference between looking casually cool and looking like a slob, though Silicon Valley in particular seems blind to the distinction. Better to follow the lead of my fellow photo blogger Karl-Edwin Guerre of Guerreisms, who arrived at every day of an epic three week fashion season in Europe perfectly turned out in elegant clothes. Yet his clothes are comfortable, and they can move – otherwise there’s no way to make it through day after day on your feet. If a photographer can look this good, so can the founders of Instagram.

White with Black Polka Dots, Outside Viktor & Rolf

All white and polka dots: two themes that are very much of the moment for spring 2012. Love how she contrasts the black polka dot stockings with the white feathered skirt, sheer white blouse and white leather biker vest. The bright clutch and iPhone and red lipstick are the icing on the cake.

Julia Sarr-Jamois at Marni

During fashion week we had no idea that Julia Sarr-Jamois, editor of Wonderland, was going to be modeling in two big spring campaigns, but the results for Tibi and Barneys are quite beautiful. Here she is – a model off/on duty? – in an elaborate floral embroidered black patent leather jacket at Marni.

Bryanboy at Marni

Fashion blogger Bryanboy arrived at Milan’s Marni show in style. Love how the Roberto Cavalli fur plays off the pattern of the Suno pants. The sweater is Comme des Garcons, the yellow bag Dolce & Gabbana, the studded shoes Prada.

Viviana Volpicella with a Bunny iPhone Case

Here’s some Easter inspiration for you: the fashion crowd has been going wild for these adorable bunny ear iPhone cases by Rabito. Viviana Volpicella carried one and accessorized with lots of bracelets outside the Viktor & Rolf show in Paris. Full length shot of her, after the jump. (more…)

Tanya Dziahileva at Ann Demeulemeester

Supermodel Tanya Dziahileva posed in black leather leggings outside the Ann Demeulemeester show in Paris. Whatever happens in fashion with skirts, dresses, etc. many models favor super skinny black leather looks like this. And why not? It looks fantastic.

Giovanna Battaglia in Valentino

Giovanna Battaglia wore this khaki and lace Valentino dress to the Roberto Cavalli show in Milan. The faceted black necklace at the collar is not part of the original runway look but her own addition – bellissima!

Pop of Color, Outside Haider Ackermann

This is a great early-spring outfit that incorporates a pop of bright orange in an otherwise warm and tweedy look.

Catherine Baba at Haider Ackermann

Parisian stylist Catherine Baba cycled by in a white trench, printed pants and her trademark turban outside the Haider Ackermann show. Trés chic!

Hoodie

Terrifying, right?

Ursina Gysi at Alexander Wang

Pet peeve: I hate black puffer jackets, even though I own one. This winter in New York it was black puffer jacket after black puffer jacket on the streets, with very little color in between. I stood out in the cold shivering for hours (admittedly, sometimes in my black puffer jacket), praying to photograph something, anything other than a black puffer jacket! But stylist Ursina Gysi shows how to take an ever-present trend and make it your own. The beautiful silver tone and athletic jacket collar make this puffer stand out from the crowd. With a white lace dress, saturated blue bag and graphic black and white booties, the whole look is refreshingly cool and unexpected.

Christene Barberich at Yigal Azrouel

Layers, layers, layers are the key to dressing for chilly spring weather, as Refinery 29 editor Christene Barberich demonstrates outside the Yigal Azrouel show. Another good idea is to swap out black for navy, a more upbeat neutral for spring. The graphic embroidered edge of her jacket and polka-dot socks keep it lively.

Denni in Fausto Puglisi

Fashion blogger Denni of Chic Muse posed for us on the tram tracks outside the Dolce & Gabbana show. This was a real fashion risk, mind you, because these are active tracks with huge trams running through every few minutes! Her Fausto Puglisi is also a fashion risk in all the right ways. Love the elaborate beading at the waist and the flared skirt. The bag is vintage Gucci, the shoes Prada.
