Shala Monroque and the Eiffel Tower

This was one of my favorite “food and fashion” moments of the last women’s RTW season – the ever-glamorous Shala Monroque of Garage Magazine eating a beignet in front of the Eiffel Tower. She had arrived early for one of the shows and was just taking in the view. The vintage rabbit bag is a nod to her blog, Shala’s Rabbit Hole.

Shiona Turini at Nina Ricci

Cosmopolitan’s fashion market editor and native Bermudian Shiona Turini is perhaps the most fashionable woman to emerge from Bermuda, well, ever. If you have ever whiled away a rainy summer afternoon rummaging through shops on Front Street in search of something that is not pink and green or patterned like your grandma’s tea cozy, you have felt my pain. And yet, like a phoenix rising from the ashes, Shiona turns up at fashion weeks around the world fabulously attired. She was already sporting the trendy Fendi keychain in September, clipped to a fabulous Louis Vuitton clutch.

Linda Fargo at Carven

I’m always thinking of Linda Fargo at this time of year because of the fabulous Bergdorf Goodman holiday windows. Here she is looking great outside the Carven show in Paris. She told me the lips necklace is just a novelty item she picked up somewhere – it adds a little fun to an elegant black and white look.

Simone Marchetti at Dries van Noten

Men’s accessories are a huge growth area in retail right now, and no wonder when men like La Repubblica‘s Simone Marchetti wear them so well. The pink polka dot scarf is Valentino.

Embellished Sweatshirt Dress, Outside 3.1 Phillip Lim

The lowly sweatshirt is getting embellished with jewels this fall. In this particularly pretty version, it’s a sweatshirt dress dripping with delicate crystals in faux-diamand and topaz form. Also note how she has smartly styled it with a crisp white button down underneath.

Valentino Coat, Chanel Bag and Jeans, Outside Valentino

This is the kind of high-low mix that stylists and editors love: a très chic (and expensive) Valentino coat and Chanel matriochka bag worn with a down-to-earth pair of ripped boyfriend jeans. Even if you can’t throw on your best Valentino and Chanel, you can take a cue from this girl: this fall’s shredded boyfriend jeans are best worn cuffed with heels, especially if you’re petite.

Ulyana Sergeenko at Valentino SS2014

Designer Ulyana Sergeenko wore a beautiful blue dress of her own design to the Valentino show in Paris, combining it with a gray sweater underneath. A great mix. Detail shot after the jump.  (more…)

Pharrell Williams at Comme des Garcons

I have to say I had no idea Pharrell Williams was so well dressed in “real life.” This is such a great mix of the patchwork coat, tee, necklaces, cuffed jeans, leopard print pony skin skater shoes, and just a glimpse of a black and white polka dot cardigan underneath. The fedora is not only elegant but perfect for a drizzly afternoon in Paris.

Nausheen Shah at Emporio Armani

Fashion journalist Nausheen Shah has the most amazing accessories. I am particularly obsessed with this gorgeous gilded cage briefcase by Anndra Neen that she toted to the Emporio Armani show yesterday in Milan. The dress is vintage, the shoes Tom Ford, and a detail shot of that bag – and her cool ombre nails and many rings – after the jump.  (more…)

Anna Wintour at Ralph Lauren

Anna Wintour wore some beautiful print dresses during NY fashion week, but I have to say I love her in Chanel. At yesterday’s Ralph Lauren show, she mixed a black and white, pink-flecked Chanel suit with a plain white tee – very daring for her! – and a gorgeous Georgian collet necklace.

Anna Dello Russo at Reed Krakoff SS2014

Of course, one of the most visible presences on the New York fashion week scene was Anna Dello Russo. At the Reed Krakoff show on Wednesday, she wore fabulous Tom Ford gold gladiator boots, Balenciaga dress and portrait necklace by Noor Fares. Miraculously, Anna chose to walk down several flights of stairs in those boots at the preceding Philosophy show rather than take the elevator, thus avoiding the infamous collapsing elevator of NYFW SS2014.

Giovanna Battaglia at Thakoon

Giovanna Battaglia has been looking fabulous throughout New York fashion week. This black and white look is crisp, chic and just a little bit playful.

Miroslava Duma at Victoria Beckham

Miroslava Duma arrived at the Victoria Beckham show in a crisp belted yellow leopard tank and blue pants perfect for the variable September weather we’ve been having in NYC.

OK, Glass: Nina Garcia at Alexander Wang

This is happening: Editors are wearing Google Glass to the shows during New York Fashion Week. The glasses were probably gifted from Google, but any concerns the fashion industry has about their actual style quotient have not kept editors like like Nina Garcia and Eva Chen are taking them to the streets. The glasses come in several different colors including yellow, but early adopters in the fashion world are going for the neutral gray shade. Mais bien sûr: it goes with black.

Sculptural Necklace and Black Dress, Outside Ulyana Sergeenko Couture

Black and white has traditionally been a popular choice during transitional months like September, when the weather’s still warm but the arrival of fall calls for darker colors. One guest at the Ulyana Sergeenko couture show in Paris worked the theme with a black dress, black and white sunglasses and amazing sculptural necklace.
