Virginie Mouzat at Carven
This past fashion week, we admired Virginie Mouzat, fashion editor of the Parisian daily Le Figaro, not just for her sense of style but her fearlessness on the page. In an age when so many fashion “reviews” tiptoe around anything negative in an established designer’s collection (for fear of alienating advertisers?), she completely panned Tom Ford’s collection in New York. Brava! Sometimes the truth is just black and white.

Polka Dot Dress at Ann Demeulemeester
Of all the current and runway trends to emerge from fashion week, one thing was clear: the tough biker looks of years past have given way to a new ladylike aesthetic. This black and white polka dot dress with white Prada bag, pearls and Hollywood movie star sunglasses is a great example of the tailored, pretty new look.
Postscript: She is Shala Monroque of ShalasRabbitHole.com.

Black and White Print, Outside Issey Miyake
Loved the graphic print on this black and white top outside the Issey Miyake show. The maxi skirt with blue colorblocking, red striped belt and wooden bead necklaces take it up another notch. And! The metallic polka dot bag. A great look.

Black and White Look, Outside Costume National
Black and white has long been a popular sartorial choice in early fall, when it’s still too warm for lots of autumn color. This year the fashion set is interpreting it with a distinct menswear spin. Sharp, crisp lines evoke tuxedos and spats, but the cut is very modern and sleek. Even her shoes are black and white – detail after the jump.

Stephanie LaCava at Haider Ackermann
In some odd confluence of global warming (er, “climate change”), the endless cycle of new collections, and designers’ mashup of pre-fall, fall, resort and spring trends, bright colors that are normally the hallmark of springtime clothes have really been a hit during this super sunny October Paris fashion week. Fashion influencer Stephanie LaCava wore a bright yellow silk print top and black silk shorts outside Saturday’s Haider Ackermann show.

Julia Sarr-Jamois in the Tuileries
In case you haven’t heard us complaining all the way in New York, it’s been brutally hot in Paris this fashion week, so hot that the Tuileries feel more like the set of Lawrence of Arabia. Julia Sarr-Jamois, fashion editor of Wonderland Magazine, adeptly balanced fall fashion with hot weather in a lightweight black floral dress and silver sandals.

Anna Dello Russo at Balmain
Anna Dello Russo posed for dozens of photographers in a window display of gilded mirrors outside the Balmain show yesterday. Love how the studded black and gold dress (Versace SS 2012?) goes with the backdrop!

Fishing Lure Dress, Outside Ann Demeulemeester
One word: j’adore! A subversively cute Giles Deacon fishing lure print dress outside Ann Demeulemeester, worn with Rick Owens boots and black sunglasses. Just the right mix of tough and twee.

All White, Outside the Honor Show
If, like me, you are confused about what to wear when it’s still hot and humid at the end of September, here’s one idea: don’t put away your summer whites just yet. They still look chic on a sunny day, especially when paired with bright or metallic accessories.

Leopard Top and Blue Celine Bag, Outside 3.1 Phillip Lim
The fashion set is definitely cliquey when it comes to favoring certain brands. Last spring, a number of editors wore Prada’s stripes to the Paris shows. This fall, Céline handbags have been on the arms of many. For color trends, look for lots of this vivid blue – we’ll call it Bill Cunningham blue – a surprising and refreshing color for fall. And of course the rest of her outfit is equally brilliant – from the sheer leopard top to the two-tone sunglasses to the studded bracelets and black and gold nail polish.

Green Floral Maxi Dress, Outside Rag & Bone
For the whole summer, many of us have had one go-to print: stripes. Well now I’m sick of them (at least until Resort 2012). Dark florals are a nice way to usher in the fall, as with the green floral pattern on this belted maxi dress, seen outside the Rag & Bone show.

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.

Models in All Black, Mott Street
No matter what fall fashion brings – this year, it’s supposed to be jewel tones à la Gucci F/W 2011 – you can rest assured that models off duty will still wear black.
The sunglasses at top look a lot like a pair of black Burberry shades on my fall shopping list right now. Also love the Alexander Wang bag on the sidewalk.

Leopard Top and Cut-Offs, Prince Street
As tweeted, I am so tired of seeing everyone in NYC in shorts and t-shirts. The outfit can easily be upgraded with a nice top like this leopard blouse, a nice bag and sheer black flats, with all the comfort of shorts. See? Not so hard.

White Dress, Union Square
Loving the all-white look for summer 2011. The spectator shoes add a nice 1920s touch to this dress, and the artfully braided updo is perfect for hot weather.
