Navy Blue With Polka Dots, Outside Louis Vuitton

Elisa Nalin

Such a cute retro look, again in navy, with a below-the-knee pleated wool crepe skirt and jacket, accessorized with a white cap and navy envelope pouch at the belt. The polka dot blouse is also a nod to Louis Vuitton designer Marc Jacobs, who featured polka dots prominently in his namesake fall collection in New York.

Sailor Stripes, Outside Louis Vuitton

Keep an eye out for this woman, because she attracted the attention of many street style photographers outside the Louis Vuitton show in Paris. The look is effortlessly cool, even laid back: sailor striped shirt paired with a double breasted navy blazer, white pants and blue “flatform” shoes. And yet everything hits the right note. I like that her hair is a bit mussed – it keeps the whole thing from looking too done.

Addendum: These are the Prada flatforms that are getting so much flak from non-admirers. They actually look perfectly good in real life.

Pink Hat and Fur Coat, Outside Lanvin

First off, the hat is great. How often do you see this wide-brimmed Australia outback style hat in the color pink? And paired with this embellished shaggy fur coat, leggings and ’50s style heels, the whole thing cuts a beautiful silhouette. She’s about to ride off into the Paris fashion week sunset. (more…)

White Grecian Dress and Flocked Coat, Outside Chloe

A gorgeous white Grecian dress and white sleeveless flocked coat made up this look in head-to-toe white outside Monday’s Chloe show. Very arresting, particularly in the saturated light of the Tuileries.

A fabulous pop of fuchsia-red silk mixes nicely with the dove gray fur coat in this study in of color and texture. Très chic.

Navy Knit Suit, Outside Sonia Rykiel

This British model/actress who attended the Sonia Rykiel show would look good in nearly anything, but there’s one lesson we could all take away: head-to-toe navy looks much more interesting and fresh for spring than head-to-toe black. A sleek adaptation of the nautical trend.

Long Floral Skirt and Turban, Prabal Gurung

Spotted after the Prabal Gurung show in front of the Empire Hotel, this girl has amazing personal style. A long silk floral skirt mixed with shearling booties, hoop earrings and a turban – red! velvet! affixed with a brooch! – it’s very outré, original bohemian chic.

Hilary Alexander at Prabal Gurung

The Telegraph’s famous fashion correspondent wore an beautifully embroidered Byzantine-style coat to Prabal Gurung’s show. With the fur hat and scarf and a black and crimson floral dress underneath, she conjures up turn-of-the-last-century Russia.

Charlotte Kemp Muhl Performs, Rebecca Minkoff

The bohemian life of Charlotte Kemp Muhl was the inspiration for Rebecca Minkoff’s fall 2011 show – and she and Sean Lennon put on a live performance before and during the show. Kemp Muhl wore a beautiful long silk dress in rust colored floral. The collection itself featured some great coats and jackets, a fab silk leopard jumpsuit, and of course, lots of yummy bags in saturated autumn colors like hunter green and eggplant.

Camel Coat and Knotted Scarf, Rebecca Minkoff

An adorable look outside the Rebecca Minkoff show. The cuffed and pleated khakis, penny loafers, sunglasses and scarf knotted on her head are very 1950s, and the denim shirt and camel coat are very right now.
