Paris Fashion Week AW 2012...Sarah

 

 Sarah Rutson, Fashion Director, Lane Crawford, Tuileries, Paris, February 2012. 

I first spied this beautiful Celine floral skirt on Tamu in NYC  so it was nice too see Sarah wearing it in Paris as well (with slightly warmer weather!). They accessorised differently but both teamed it with a crisp white shirt. I love the tiny taupe shrunken sweater that sits snugly over Sarah's button-down shirt.

Recreate Sarah's Look (kind of):

Christopher Kane jacquard floral skirt,  Jonathan Saunders jacquard skirt, Sandro Joyeuse skirt or Christopher Kane Josefine floral skirt

Just Cavalli white poplin blouse, Theory Durlia lawn shirt  or Equipment signature blouse

Theyskens' Theory Jose Nota leather jacket, Joseph quilted leather jacket, ASOS quilted leather jacket (in black), Moschino Cheap and Chic leather jacket

Giuseppe Zanotti Justin patent leather pumps or Jimmy Choo Lennox patent leather pumps

Valentino VaVa Voom flap bag, Proenza Schouler PSII clutch

Paris Fashion Week AW 2012...After Issey Miyake

After Issey Miyake, Paris, March 2012.

I love a pretty, fluid maxi skirt although I probably associate them more with summer (throw on a tank and flat sandals and you are good to go), than winter. The way this model has teamed the blush pink skirt with her leather jacket and coat makes me think it can work for all seasons!

Recreate her Look (kind of):

Tibi blush pink maxi skirt, Club Monaco Adela skirt or Sparkle & Fade maxi pleated chiffon skirt

Rachel Zoe Jimmy Trapunto leather jacket, Theyskens' Theory Jose Nota leather jacket, J Brand Benatar leather jacket or ASOS leather biker jacket

Marc by Marc Jacobs mouse ballet flats (no matter how many seasons I see these, they never fail to make me smile. squeak :), B Brian Atwood Amata flats, or Miss KG Lola Ballet flats 

Paris Fashion Week AW 2012...Hanneli

Hanneli, Paris, March 2012.

Today's posts are all about shorts: short, cute and frilly, mid-length and tailored, high-waisted, patterned or disguised as a skirt. And Hanneli's frilled leather shorts are probably the kind of shorts that you either absolutely love or absolutely loathe. Me? I love them. On Hanneli....they probably  most definitely aren't going to suit everyone. They are fun, eye-catching, a little bit cheeky and I love Hanneli's styling.

Recreate Hanneli's Look (kind of):

Shorts which have the same feel (very, very sort of!): Thakoon banded shorts (love, love, love these), ASOS smart shorts (in ivory), Rag & Bone Pascal shorts, Chloe leather shorts

Maison Scotch Oxford shirt with bow clip, Penfield Boyfriend chambray shirt, Carven contrast collar button up shirt, MiH jeans cotton shirt

Acne Rita suede aviator jacket or BB Dakota Kionia leather jacket

Mulberry Cookie Bayswater bag

p.s. I think Hanneli said that she wore a pair of the shorts on a shoot, adored them and the designer was kind enough to make her a pair of her own!

Paris Fashion Week AW 2012...Cara

Super cool (and cute!) Cara Delevingne, after Cacharel, Paris, March 2012.

Recreate Erjona's look (kind of):

A pretty, peachy/pink top: Joie Lubov silk top or Equipment peach Nixie blouse (with cute shoulder cutouts) or Topshop contrast strap vest (great under a leather jacket like Erjona is wearing here, or on its own for long summer days)

ASOS leather biker jacket or Joseph Perfecto quilted leather jacket or Rachel Zoe Jimmy Trapunto leather jacket 

Michael by Michael Kors Bedford bowling satchel

London Fashion Week SS 2012...Julia and Hanne

Crop tops, sheer fabrics, exposed midriffs, My Little Pony?!.....Summer is a comin'*!

*well, except in the UK where it feels like summer is still an age away (April has been a cold, wet and rather soggy month so far).

Paris Fashion Week AW 2012...Grace

There is something about New Zealand born, Paris based Grace's style that I absolutely adore. It's...unaffected, undone, honest somehow....rather like that of another one of my girl style crushes, Ursina. It is refreshing to see at fashion week. And of course I am crazy about Grace's freckles ;)

One of my friend's said to me at Chanel, "Ness, I just photographed a girl you would love....she is SO your type". When I looked at the photograph on the back of her camera, it was Grace! It is funny that most of us photographers at the fashion weeks have a particular type of girl/style we like photographing. It is what keeps things interesting, I think.

Recreate Grace's look (kind of):

Whetherly Noam double jersey tee or ASOS double-layer tee

Max Studio dark brown leather coat or Marni caramel leather coat or Vince leather coat (a great trans seasonal piece) 

Duffy grey wool and cashmere beanie

Marc by Marc Jacobs electro blue Too Hot to Handle zip around wallet or wristlet  
Smythson orange Keep Calm and Carry On notebook (a motto I like to play on repeat in my head during the fashion weeks ;)

Essie mint candy apple nailpolish (do you see the colour of Grace's manicure...and her hand chain? So cool!)

London Fashion Week AW 2012...Poppy

Poppy Delevigne carrying Tommy Ton's new utility satchel for Club Monaco, London, February 2012.

How pretty is her double-slit skirt? And I think we all want to get our hands on one of Tommy's bags that he designed in collaboration with Club Monaco. Would you choose the satchel or the backpack?! My pick is the backpack (great for hauling cameras around).

Recreate Poppy's Look (kind of):

Ecote double-slit skirt (hellllloo Coachella!) or Tibi pretty blush coloured silk-chiffon maxi skirt or Mulberry dreamy, swishy tulle maxi-skirt

Givenchy skeleton print tank top

Lot78 Riley leather biker jacket or Acne leather biker jacket

Recreate the Look (kind of):
MiH Jeans pistol suede biker jacket or Joseph Perfecto quilted leather jacket
See by Chloé cutout leather ankle boots

New York Fashion Week SS 2012...Erin
