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!
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.
Anna Dello Russo in Dolce & Gabbana
Several designers did lace for spring 2012, but I love how Dolce & Gabbana’s lace also has appliquéd flowers for that extra push of whimsy. And j’adore Anna Dello Russo in a Dolce & Gabbana blue lace dress en route to the designers’ show. (more…)
Striped Jacket, Outside Max Mara
One advantage of the unseasonably warm weather this spring: New Yorkers actually have a chance to wear jackets, not segue immediately from coats to tank tops. This season there’s a great variety of luxe jackets out there in a mix of materials and colors, like this one with striped sleeves and lining and leather piping outside the Max Mara show in Milan.
Michelle Harper in Ivory Brocade
Michelle Harper wore a beautiful ivory brocade dress and coat to yesterday’s Viktor & Rolf show in the Tuileries. So timeless and elegant, perfect for Paris. And the gloves! Very Grace Kelly.
Tilda Swinton at Haider Ackermann
Even the most jaded fashion show regulars have been literally atwitter about the presence of actress Tilda Swinton at Paris fashion week. She emerged from the Haider Ackermann show yesterday in a beautifully tailored purple silk jacket and emerald green silk pants and posed for us. Very cool.
Kate Lanphear at Carven
Graphic black and red defined Kate Lanphear’s look yesterday during Paris fashion week. The jacket, red tiger-print sweater and black wayfarers have real urban polish. Meanwhile, cropped black leather trousers could be considered avant garde even in the fashion world, where skinny jeans are still the order of the day. Lanphear is ever the rule breaker in all the right ways.
Anna Wintour at Giorgio Armani
American Vogue was the most successful fashion magazine of 2011, increasing ad pages during a year when most magazines lost them. Because of its sheer size, it’s a big commitment to lug a copy of Vogue all the way from New York to Milan, but I did. Under Anna Wintour’s stewardship it’s still the thinking person’s fashion magazine, with wonderful essays and memoirs, not to mention Grace Coddington’s beautiful art direction.
The impeccably dressed Wintour is still the queen bee of fashion week. And street style photographers are overjoyed that, if she must travel with bodyguards, at least now they walk behind her. We can finally see what she’s wearing!
Linda Fargo at Etro
Here are some more bright pants for you, on Linda Fargo at Etro, mixed with a colorful fur scarf. They look so great in the spring light, especially now that the weather’s warming up in Milan. Though there are some skinny jeans in bright colors for spring, flared, tailored trousers in bright colors are particularly chic. The bag is Valentino.
Giovanna Battaglia at Emporio Armani
Giovanna Battaglia wore clothes from two Italian designers to their shows this past Saturday in Milan: a beautifully embellished dress by Bottega Veneta, and a classic Armani leather jacket. Bellissima.

Anna Dello Russo in Prada
We’ve all been waiting to see Prada’s spring race car-themed collection in person, and here it is, on Anna Dello Russo in Milan. The race car imagery and flame-licked heels are over-the-top fabulous, just like Anna. Shoe shot after the jump. (more…)
Julia Sarr-Jamois at Alberta Ferretti
Julia Sarr Jamois is an expert rule-breaker. At Alberta Ferretti she wore a baby blue jacket printed with cartoon surfers and palm trees. Mix that with gray trousers, a leopard bag and discreet black and white pumps and you have something completely irreverent – and genius. Detail shot after the jump. (more…)
Mary Alice Stephenson in All White at Carolina Herrera
Mary Alice Stephenson arrived at Monday’s Carolina Herrera show in glamorous all white – flared pants, fur vest, and an ivory blouse. She’s one of several trendsetters to wear all white for spring this New York Fashion Week.
Liz Cabral in an Orange Coat, Outside Derek Lam
Flare‘s Fashion Director Liz Cabral wore a fluorescent orange Joe Fresh coat to Sunday’s Derek Lam show. Bright, fluorescent pops of color have been a continuing motif this season, either as accessories mixed with black or neutral colors or as one big statement piece, like this fantastic coat.
