Miroslava in Chloe

Posted on March 7, 2012 by Marcy Swingle

Miroslava is one of the reasons we look forward to Paris fashion week. She is always so beautifully dressed, often in a lot of color, and never boring. She wore Chloe to the designer’s show Monday in the Tuileries.

Fringed Sweater and Tiger Print Dress, Outside Giambattista Valli

Posted on March 7, 2012 by Marcy Swingle

I love the tribal-ness of this outfit – the fringed sleeve of the deconstructed sweater looks like a hank of fur, and the tiger stripes are fierce in their own right. Indeed, preparing for a fashion show is a lot like preparing for battle.

Tulle Skirt, Outside Stella McCartney

Posted on March 6, 2012 by Marcy Swingle

A particularly windy day added to the drama of this gorgeous outfit outside yesterday’s Stella McCartney show. A tulle skirt is sexy in black, not too girlish, and the Jil Sander knit cap with veil, first spotted on Anna Dello Russo, has become a real hit with the fashion crowd. The half-and-half stockings are the icing on the cake.

JJ Martin at Hermes

Posted on March 6, 2012 by Marcy Swingle

This outfit is testament to the power of vintage. JJ Martin’s dress, belt and bag are all vintage yet so current-looking. The fur vest is Piazza Sempione, and the shoes are Balenciaga. A gorgeous look for an American in Paris.

Sama and Haya Abu Khadra at Costume National

Posted on March 5, 2012 by Marcy Swingle

I must admit I’m a little obsessed with twins Sama and Haya Abu Khadra from Dubai. They’re fabulous dressers – they are the very young buyers for their mother’s lifestyle boutique The Art of Living – but their beauty is just breathtaking.

Michelle Harper wore a beautiful ivory brocade dress and coat to yesterday’s Viktor & Rolf show in the Tuileries. So timeless and elegant, perfect for Paris. And the gloves! Very Grace Kelly.

Tilda Swinton at Haider Ackermann

Posted on March 4, 2012 by Marcy Swingle

Even the most jaded fashion show regulars have been literally atwitter about the presence of actress Tilda Swinton at Paris fashion week. She emerged from the Haider Ackermann show yesterday in a beautifully tailored purple silk jacket and emerald green silk pants and posed for us. Very cool.

Outside the Café de la Musée, After Dior

Posted on March 3, 2012 by Marcy Swingle

Twice a year after the Dior fashion show at the Musée Rodin, this unassuming little café  around the corner becomes a hotbed of fashion. A woman in an exquisite green brocade pantsuit stood under the awning with several other guests from the show.

Eleonora Carisi at Ann Demeulemeester

Posted on March 2, 2012 by Marcy Swingle

Eleonora Carisi of popular Italian fashion blog JouJou Villeroy has been making quite an impression on the Milan and Paris fashion week scenes with her beautiful, colorful clothing and playful style. This pop of yellow was a welcome dose of sunshine on a gray day outside the Ann Demeulemeester show. Also, I am really loving the look of a bejeweled necklace worn over a sweater and just beneath the shirt collar for spring. It’s a style we’ve seen on several fashionable girls here.

Kate Lanphear at Carven

Posted on March 2, 2012 by Marcy Swingle

Graphic black and red defined Kate Lanphear’s look yesterday during Paris fashion week. The jacket, red tiger-print sweater and black wayfarers have real urban polish. Meanwhile, cropped black leather trousers could be considered avant garde even in the fashion world, where skinny jeans are still the order of the day. Lanphear is ever the rule breaker in all the right ways.
