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

Paris Fashion Week AW 2012...Doina

Beautiful (both inside and out), Doina Ciobanu, before Chanel, Paris, March 2012.

I love this look on Doina. She is still a teenager but wears this sophisticated, grown-up look beautifully. In fact I think clean, crisp masculine tailoring like this would work on women of almost any age.....and it is entirely suitable to wear in a more conservative workplace.

Recreate Doina's look (kind of):

Stella McCartney grey tailored blazer and grey slim fit flared trousers  or Reiss royal blue jacket and tapered slim trousers

Theory Larissa classic white shirt

Christian Louboutin Décolleté 100 glossed-leather pumps or ASOS shine patent pumps



New York Fashion Week AW 2012....Tamu

Tamu always looks amazing but this was one of my favourite looks that she wore during NYFW. I love the crisp white button-down shirt with the beautiful flower-print skirt (conservative and playful all at once), and of course those darling bow-topped heels with neon socks. And probably no need to point out her lovely Celine bag ;)

Recreate Tamu's look (kind of):

Christopher Kane blue and silver cut-out jacquard skirt or Sandro neon pink Joyeuse skirt or ASOS pale pink jacquard skirt (a little more volume but still entirely wearable for day).

Theory Devyna white fitted shirt

Miu Miu bow embellished pumps (just add socks!)

p.s. Check out British Vogue this month (April) to see Tamu in her stunning apartment in Milan. Go girl!

Paris Fashion Week AW 2012...Vasilisa

Vasilisa Pavlova, after Carven (she closed the show), Paris, March 2012.

Crisp, clean, neat black and white...a touch masculine, classic and very wearable.

Recreate Vasilisa's look (kind of):

Madewell shrunken white boyshirt or create a stir with this Acne poplin shirt (sweet, demure peter pan collar at the front.....until you turn around. Hello oversized keyhole back! This would be fun to wear at work. Keep your jacket on for meetings and wear alone for after-dinner drinks - or while sitting at your desk :).

Rag&Bone/Jean The Legging Jean in black

Jil Sander Chelsea boots or ASOS Alibi Chelsea boots



New York Fashion Week AW 2012...After Karen Walker

I ♥ girls who wear braces.

Paris Fashion Week SS 2012...Before Carven

Pretty, simple, fresh, wearable....hello Spring.



Recreate the Look (kind of):

Carven cotton-canvas and grosgrain skirt (it kind of reminds me of the Miu Miu skirt Tamu and Peony wore last summer but with a waistband)

Equipment Lowe washed-silk shirt
