Frida Gustavsson at Valentino

Posted on November 2, 2011 by Marcy Swingle

Such a great fall outfit on Frida Gustavsson outside Valentino. The casual, slouchy pink sweater and cuffed jeans are balanced out by an art deco statement necklace and suede pumps. The red envelope bag is Valentino, a gift to the models who walked the show. She may not have started out the day with a red bag and pink sweater, but the clashiness is kinda cool.

Seventies Look, Outside Carlos Miele

Posted on October 27, 2011 by Marcy Swingle

Personally I’m loving the ’70s look for this fall. The wide legged jeans (J Brand, I believe) and floppy wide brimmed hat are so Love Story, conjuring up a romanticized collegiate vibe of years past.

This French Voguette made waves this past Paris Fashion Week with her sporty but chic outfits. Here she pairs white jeans with a khaki top and leopard clutch for safari-inspired look that’s great for transitional weather. Detail shot of her shoes and bag, after the jump.  (more…)

Modified Lumberjack Look, Outside Rag & Bone

Posted on September 21, 2011 by Marcy Swingle

I have an officemate who’s out to singlehandedly destroy the popularity of the lumberjack look in Williamsburg by introducing new trends – rave, retro ’80s, anything but Taavo Somer woodsman style. But lumberjack, like leopard, can still acceptable in moderation. This guy at the Rag & Bone show balanced the beard and plaid shirt with crisp cuffed jeans, Ray Bans, and a nice cognac leather bag and boots for a look that’s more urban than back woods. Williamsburg, are you listening?

Emmanuelle Alt, Outside Rodarte

Posted on September 15, 2011 by Marcy Swingle

The epitome of grace under pressure, Emmanuelle Alt has really aced NY Fashion Week – not just with her composure but with her cool, casual wardrobe. Before she was named Editor in Chief of French Vogue, her look was super sporty. Now it has evolved to something more sophisticated but still entirely her own, like this combination of crisp blue button down, white jeans and Hermes bracelet watch. Simple but perfect.

Punk Look, Outside Billy Reid

Posted on September 12, 2011 by Marcy Swingle

Another great look from outside the Billy Reid show: part punk, with torn jeans and a skinny tie, part diva with hair piled high, heels and a black patent clutch.

Girls in Short Shorts, Martha’s Vineyard

Posted on August 17, 2011 by Marcy Swingle

Another reason short shorts trumped maxi skirts this summer is their appeal in places other than New York, where a billowing maxi skirt might seem a little too Stevie Nicks on Main Street. These girls wore short shorts to shop on Main Street, Edgartown.

Posted on June 29, 2011 by Marcy Swingle

There’s no question about it: ultra short denim shorts are the uniform of choice this summer for models off duty. Why not, when you’ve got the legs?

Short Shorts, Madison Avenue

Posted on June 17, 2011 by Marcy Swingle

If you’ve got legs, now’s the time to show them off with short shorts, a big hit for S/S 2011. Also of-the-moment: tie-front shirts, like this one in denim.
