Saskia de Brauw at Stella McCartney
Model Saskia de Brauw has really distinctive personal style. Most of us could not pull off overalls, but she makes them look super chic. Here she exits the Stella McCartney show in Paris in overalls, a tweed coat, leather bag and rugged lace-up boots.

Bette Franke at Bottega Veneta
Model Bette Franke probably had a 6:30 call time on the rainy morning of the Bottega Veneta show, and yet she still managed to dress with this certain je ne sais quoi, as you can see when she exited the show. Love how she mixed prints on the scarf and sweater with a colorblocked coat. The beautiful hair and makeup is from the Bottega Veneta runway.

Anna Wintour in the Snow, Outside Victoria Beckham
These next few photos are in honor of Bill Cunningham, who loves to photograph fashionably dressed people hopping over puddles.
Anna Wintour may be high fashion, but that hasn’t stopped her from braving the elements like the rest of them. Outside the Victoria Beckham show, she forded a snow bank in flat rain boots worn with a tweed suit, blue and white fur top, and of course her trademark sunglasses.
Designers: here are some suggested trends for next winter’s NY fashion week: salting sidewalks and shoveling a clear path to the street. Don’t make Anna Wintour do this again.

Karl-Edwin Guerre at Gucci
The cover of today’s New York Times features a photo of the Instagram guys, whose company was just bought for $1 billion. But what did they wear to the photo shoot with the New York Times? Ill-fitting jeans and slovenly, untucked button downs. It’s really a disgrace!
Guys: there is a difference between looking casually cool and looking like a slob, though Silicon Valley in particular seems blind to the distinction. Better to follow the lead of my fellow photo blogger Karl-Edwin Guerre of Guerreisms, who arrived at every day of an epic three week fashion season in Europe perfectly turned out in elegant clothes. Yet his clothes are comfortable, and they can move – otherwise there’s no way to make it through day after day on your feet. If a photographer can look this good, so can the founders of Instagram.

Tweed Coat and Spectator Shoes, Outside Lanvin
An aristocratic look of a voluminous tweed cloak with spectator shoes and a bob haircut. Unusual but compelling.

Tweed Jacket Embellished With Flowers, Outside Chloe
If, like me, you get stuck in a rut and keep wearing black and gray even though it’s spring, take a cue from this model off duty. She may be wearing a black cowl neck sweater and black lace skirt, but she tops it off with a colorful tweed jacket adorned with flowers. Making an effort!

Natasha Poly and Sasha Pivovarova at Chanel
To clarify: Not all models off duty dress fabulously. The standard uniform for the past couple years has been biker jackets, skinny jeans and biker boots – sexy at first, until it got boring. This season several of the top girls are breaking the mold, wearing more layers and texture, mixing up skirts and pants and interesting coats. Natasha Poly and Sasha Pivovarova, just off the Chanel runway, exemplify the look that Lagerfeld showed for the Fall 2011 collection, as Style.com‘s Tim Blanks put it: “mixing the street with enough high fashion fantasy to make the result seem rich and strange.”

Yasmin Sewell at Isabel Marant
The devil is in the details, and street style star Yasmin Sewell is the master of the little details that make an ensemble really gorgeous. Love the unfinished hems of the tweed coat, the chunky belt, the giraffe-print bag arranged cross body just so, the pop of a bright yellow beaded necklace and the finishing touch of cool shades (Karen Walker?).
