Alexa Chung at Marc by Marc Jacobs
The basic trench is being reinvented right now with high-tech applications of color, metallics and waterproof coating. Alexa Chung wore an iridescent one to the Marc by Marc Jacobs (now MBMJ) show in New York. And note the flash of exposed ankles – key for spring 2014.

Helena Bordon at Issey Miyake
Loved this look on Brazil’s Helena Bordon at yesterday’s Issey Miyake show. Mixing ripped jeans and a quirky athletic-inspired tee with a floral trench and heels is daring, but it all comes together beautifully. She said that the jeans got so ripped that she had to safety pin them, but guess what? Ripped, safety-pinned jeans are definitely in fashion.

Simone Marchetti at Armani
La Repubblica‘s Simone Marchetti is one of the most dapper men on the European fashion scene. Camouflage has been a continuing motif for him, now updated in a pixelated houndtooth print version in this jacket, which I think is Valentino.
P.S. He is really fun to follow on Instagram if you want an inside look at the fashion world and, when he’s off duty, la dolce vita.

Giovanna Battaglia at Stella McCartney FW2013
Skirts! Watch out for them as we segue into fall 2013, because there were a lot of them on the runways. Giovanna Battaglia gets out ahead of the curve at the Stella McCartney show, pairing a flared tweed skirt with her gold trench coat. The metallic gold pumps are the crowning touch.

Arizona Muse at Barneys
A crazy thing happened on the way to Barneys yesterday – Arizona Muse walked by! Here she is looking gorgeous without a stitch of makeup. The super cool faux python bag with bright red piping is Stella McCartney, and her trench with patent leather sleeves is Burberry.

Phil Oh and Susie Lau at Rochas
These two friends are of one mind when it comes to color: the more, the better! Both Phil Oh of Street Peeper and Susie Lau of Style Bubble are masters at colorblocking. Neither outfit is too clashy though: note that the colors repeat in variations of purple on him and green on her.

Pink Trenchcoat, Outside Dior
This warm weather has me craving color. Here’s one way to wear it that’s both fun and polished: a fuchsia trenchcoat layered over a royal blue dress with a matching hat. Her lipstick also matches the trench exactly, but the shoes are a neutral nude to keep the whole look from going over the top.

Opening Ceremony x Glamour Kitty Sweater, Outside BCBG
Welcome to Mercedes Benz Fashion Week, aka New York Fashion Week! This adorable but chic kitty sweater was the centerpiece of one of my favorite outfits of Day One. It’s actually a collaboration between Glamour Magazine and Opening Ceremony, to be sold at Opening Ceremony on February 15th. Here it’s expertly mixed with a flowy white shirt dress, trench and bright red bag. As a cat person, I have been obsessed with it ever since OC previewed the design.

Michelle Harper at Viktor & Rolf
True confession: I’ve almost given up on buying anything other than shoes and coats for winter. For five months of the year, it’s nearly all anyone sees of one’s outfit in cold New York, so you might as well have a statement-making coat. Michelle Harper wore a bold mustard yellow trench with a huge, sculptural lapel and matching shoes to the Viktor & Rolf show in Paris. It’s a great example of how one piece of clothing can make an outsized impact.

Khakis and a Burberry Trench, Seventh Avenue
A great look for a guy outside the Oscar de la Renta bridal show. Also note the rolled up cuffs and colorful socks – a key look for men right now.
