Black and White: Anya Ziourova at Chanel Couture SS2015
Nasiba Adilova at Isabel Marant FW2014
Loved this elegant look in all white, including a white trench, on Nasiba Adilova at the Isabel Marant show in Paris.
Elina Halimi at Chanel FW2014
Elina Halimi of Paris’ Kabuki boutique wore a snakeskin print jacket and wide-legged ivory trousers to the Chanel show. This is the new shape of pants for 2014 – wide-legged and cropped to reveal the ankle – and yes, you can wear white boots before Memorial Day. They’re actually great for spring.
Leigh Lezark at Richard Chai Love
Leigh Lezark is on the scene for New York Fashion Week, DJ’ing parties and shows, seen here outside the Richard Chai show wearing fabulous wide-legged Richard Chai white pants with a blue crop top.
Karla Martinez de Salas at Haider Ackermann
Spring means time for new pants, if, like me, you are so sick of your winter black jeans by now. W’s Karla Martinez de Salas rocked these Celine colorblock pants at the Haider Ackermann show, pairing them with a fur coat in the chilly weather.
Corrections amended!
Valentina Siragusa in Stella McCartney
I love a flash of daffodil-yellow at this time of year: Valentina Siragusa of Factory Style wore Stella McCartney to the show in Paris on a sunny spring day.
Nicole Phelps in 70s Jeans, Outside Chloe
Style.com fashion critic Nicole Phelps was one of the first to start sporting the wide-legged 70s jeans that are hitting stores now. She’s also proof that they look great. Here she mixes them with other themes from the runways, like the 70s redux shearling jacket, sailor stripes and a cool scarf printed with 16th-century tall ships.
Joanna Hillman at Michael Kors
Many women at fashion week are fashionably dressed, but Joanna Hillman of Harper’s Bazaar is a street chic superstar (not just here but in Japan!) because her personal style is totally relatable. This outfit provides an excellent lesson for all women in mixing patterns: leopard and sailor stripes, both great on their own, can look fantastic when mixed together with a keen eye for proportion and balance. Love the side swept braid, too.
Houndstooth Trousers, Madison Avenue
Whenever non-fashion industry friends ask me to name a big new trend, I tell them “wide-legged trousers.” Inevitably they shriek in horror. How can wide-legged trousers possibly look good on anyone but a model? This is how. They’re actually very flattering, since they elongate the legs. Hers make a particularly bold statement in houndstooth, but neutrals work just as well.
