Elisa Nalin at Louis Vuitton
Loved this cool Club Kids sweater on Elisa Nalin at the Louis Vuitton show. This was also on the morning after a lot of big fashion week parties when many were hiding behind sunglasses… very apropos!
Black and White Prints, Outside Badgley Mischka
Loved this all-over black and white look on a guest at the Badgley Mischka show. Detail shot of her studded minaudiere after the jump.
David Thielebeule at Timo Weiland
David Thielebeule, who recently moved from Allure to become fashion market and accessories director at WSJ, also wore blue and black to the first day of shows at Lincoln Center. He’s also sporting a cool new haircut with shaved sides that nods to ’90s punk. Men: take note.
Natalie Joos at Richard Chai Love
Yesterday on the first day Mercedes Benz Fashion Week (the first day of school!), Natalie Joos wore a beautiful and colorful oversize cardigan to the Richard Chai Love show. Great how the modern idea of pixellation is applied to an old-school medium like chunky knitwear. She balances it out with a muted bag and flared corduroys.
Shala Monroque at Haider Ackermann
Another one for the archives for some FW fashion week inspiration: Shala Monroque at last winter’s Haider Ackermann show. Again another great combination of a formal coat, in this case camel, with a knit cap and the dog sweater peeking out subversively from beneath.
Elena Perminova at Derek Lam
Tigers have become a key fashion trend since Kenzo made a tiger the center of their sold-out fall 2012 sweatshirts. Elena Perminova was ahead of the curve at last winter’s Derek Lam show, decked out in tiger prints and a cool urban aprés-ski look.
Lisa Marie Fernandez in the Tuileries
Another version of winter white is bright, optic white, which looked particularly sharp on designer Lisa Marie Fernandez at Valentino.
Candice Lake at Derek Lam
Photographer Candice Lake lightened up a winter look with a shearling coat in pale green and cream. The bright floppy hat is the perfect topper.
Black and White Print Sweater, Madison Avenue
We are fully into sweater season now, but sweater dressing doesn’t have to be boring. Big graphic prints and fair isle patterns are showing up on the streets. On Madison Avenue, an oversize black, gray and white horse print sweater added graphic punch to a monochromatic outfit.
Taylor Tomasi Hill at Carven
After several seasons of booties, I was relieved to see that knee-high and over-the-knee boots are making a comeback this season. You can only have so much of booties – especially if you held onto your boots from seasons past. Here Taylor Tomasi Hill of Moda Operandi wears black over-the-knee boots with a navy miniskirt and navy and white windowpane check sweater from Kenzo.
Texture Play, Outside Chanel
One way to keep winter clothes from getting boring is to seek out interesting textures. Love how this guest combined a black and white graphic popcorn sweater with a quilted A-line skirt at the Chanel show.
Marina Larroude at Carven
Sweater weather is upon us, and the options are even better this year than years past thanks to advances in technology. The same technique that allowed for elaborate prints on spring 2012 blouses and pants is now being applied to fall 2012 sweaters, resulting in cool patterns like this animal print on Marina Larroude’s sweater at the Paris Carven show.
Blue Sequin Sweater, Outside Marni
Claire Sulmers in 3.1 Phillip Lim
Blogger Claire Sulmers of the Fashion Bomb was one of the first people I’ve seen wearing this cool 3.1 Phillip Lim cartoon sweater outside the Creatures of the Wind show. Several other trendsetters have been spotted wearing it since.
Street Chic: All White Maternity Look
Not surprisingly, all white outfits have been a popular choice during the blisteringly hot summer of 2012. But I especially like how this woman on Madison Avenue interpreted all white for maternity with a long white cotton skirt and crochet tank top. The black and white Chanel bag is the icing on the cake.
