Paris Fashion Week Revisited....After Chanel

Paris Fashion Week Revisited....Capes&Coats

Gorgeous (recently married- yay!!! congrats Alix!) Alix in a cape from Lacoste.

Inspired by all the new autumn/ winter looks appearing in my favourite magazines, and online, I am having a spring clean of my photos from the fashion weeks earlier this year (read: I was extremely slack in not loading them up before last winter was over!). It is wonderful to see the trends which will carry through to this coming winter.

Paris Fashion Week Revisited...Emilie

Emilie. I first met Emilie (who is from Québec) when I was wandering in the Marais last summer when I was just starting out taking street style photos. She had the most amazing red lipstick and a completely gorgeous smile. And I just happened to spot Emilie again as I was walking to a show in March! I absolutely adore the juxtaposition of her little zippered gloves (tough) and the bow in her hair (ultra girly).

Paris Fashion Week Revisited....Gaia Repossi

The hottest jewellery designer on the planet at the moment?

Junior Street Style...Paris Fashion Week A/W 2010

So cute! Adore her little stripey tights.

This looks like a grumpy face but her mama said she was just very shy. Bless.

Carla Sozzani, owner of 10 Corso Como (where I have never been because I haven't made it to Milan yet!), who always looks wonderful. She is the sister of Franca Sozzani, the editor of Vogue Italia. Super stylish family, no?

Splashes of red with stripey lace-up's and t-shirt.

Being Australia Day (waves to any Aussie readers out there!), I couldn't resist including two Aussies that I photographed in Paris outside the Collette Dinnigan show in Paris last season.


This girl, whose name I have completely forgotten (which I feel super bad about as I wanted to tell you about her label) lives in NYC and has a fashion label with her partner. They gave me a lookbook and I seem to have permanently misplaced it (think it was when I was clearing out my handbag in preparation for my visit to the US) :( But, anyway, she was wearing pieces from her label!

p.s. having a hot Milo and a couple of Tim Tams tonight after supper as my Australia Day Treat! Hmmm okay, so maybe more than just a couple of Tim Tams- crikey they are hard to stop at just one!

Michelle, from Australian NW magazine, outside the Collette Dinnigan show in Paris. NW magazine used to be one of my weekly must-reads when I was living back home in Australia: great for catching up on all the celeb gossip during the train/bus ride home.

The ever-gorgeous, effortlessly stylish Eva Fontanelli of Italian Elle. I love Eva's style.....always on-trend but kind of quirky at the same time.

The lovely Charlotte Pini outside the Chloe show. Charlotte has her own label (her little camel tank is her own design) and she was wearing Viktor&Rolf open-toed red patent pumps and Marithé+ François Girbaud trousers.

Running With The Fash Pack...Lace+Neon

Adore her neon pink clutch, the pretty lace inserts on her dress (and the little swishy tassels on her wrists) and her platform mary-janes.

This outfit ticks so many boxes for me....timeless, classic but a little-bit-sexy (do you note the tinest bit of bra* peeking out of her shirt? and the little ankle zippers on her jeans?), all of the pieces can be worn summer or winter (take off the tights and maybe the blazer for summer, or replace the shirt with a crisp white tank when it is desperately hot; add a cape or coat for winter), and everything will still look good (provided you don't fluctuate too much in weight which, of course, the Parisian woman does not!) for years to come. Parfait!

*I bet it's probably a gorgeous, frothy creation from Chantal Thomass or Sabbia Rosa :)

Adore this Chloe bow-backed dress and Kira bag (outside the Chloe show in Paris!)

Running With The Fash Pack....Paris Fashion Week SS 2010

Love her teeny, wafty navy shorts (they sort of remind me of the shorts boxers wear in the ring) teamed with that simple tank and blazer. And note the socks, stockings AND heels?!

The stunning Clémentine outside Louis Vuitton.

p.s. I am taking a little blogging break of about 2 1/2 weeks (hence the furious uploading these past couple of days!) to go have some adventures (and hopefully take some pics :). I won't be blogging during that time but I will be checking email periodically (yep, I am one of those 0.00000000000000002 % of the population that doesn't have an iPhone or a blackberry) so if you want/need to contact me just send me an email.

p.p.s. Thanks again ever so much for all your comments, emails and encouragement over these past few weeks- you guys are great. Normal transmission (including replying properly to comments) will resume shortly :)

The oh-so-beautiful model/photographer/blogger Hanneli Mustaparta. She is an absolute dream to photograph AND just so nice as well (we like that :)) If you haven't checked out her blog then DO IT! Click here for the link.


p.s the dress is Rad Hourani and the bag? Alexander Wang.
