New York Fashion Week SS 2012...Jourdan

Jourdan Dunn, after Michael Kors, NYC, September 2011.

Love this outfit on Jourdan. Suede shorts, oxfords, an oversized sheer blouse.... Teamed with her messy braid (do you see the tiny threads of leather intertwined in her plait?) it has a faintly urban safari-ish feel.

Recreate Jourdan's Look (kind of):

Slip on a pair of suede shorty shorts: Surface to Air suede shorts, Pepe jeans suede shorts, Donna Karan casual pleated shorts (these aren't suede but have the same feel as Jourdan's shorts), Maison Martin Margiela suede shorts or findersKeepers faux suede shorts

Add a floaty, sheer blouse (great for days when the heat feels unbearably stifling*): Haute Hippie peasant blouse, Winter Kate Pushpa blouse (add a pretty bra or cami underneath), Thomas Wylde Devil's Daughter blouse, Jeunesse Francoise blouse

ASOS Marksy leather brogues, Rag & Bone Hanalei oxfords or Esquivel The Wing Tip brogue

* we haven't had one of these days yet in the UK...although tomorrow promises to reach 23°C. Woot!

New York Fashion Week AW 2012...Andie

Andie Arthur, after Philosophy di Alberta Ferretti, NYC, February 2012.

I am a big fan of the tuxedo stripe pant (see my post on the lovely Natalie Hartley here) and these Rag & Bone jeans are a brilliant, versatile interpretation of the trend. Dress them down with flats (a brogue perhaps?) and a blazer for day and for night, wear a leg-lengthening pair of heels.

Recreate Andie's Look (kind of):

Rag & Bone/Jean The Tuxedo skinny jeans (slim stripe), black and blush (wider stripe) or charcoal grey and neon (slim stripe)

Rag & Bone Classic Newbury booties

p.s. Love the way Andie is joyfully swinging around that Celine bag! I probably would be doing that as well if I owned one ;)

New York Fashion Week...Marina

Good Bye New York, Hallo London!

So I am back in London again. New York is the most amazing, incredible, vibrant place but boy, was it tough during fashion week. The whole experience still feels slightly surreal (probably that is the jet lag kicking in)..... I described it to my husband as feeling like a lion has ripped off my leg, gnawed on the carcass and lazily spat out the remains.

New York has the most beautiful light (except in the middle of the day when it is really harsh- I even got sunburnt), so many gorgeous girls and fantastic backgrounds but I found it challenging to make everything happen together at once. Sometimes I felt like I was spending more time travelling between shows (and getting lost on the subway) than actually doing any photography!

Marina Munoz, stylist.

P.S. The lovely girls at Lucky magazine asked me to shoot some street style for them during New York fashion week. You can take a peek at who I photographed over on the Luckymag.com site.

New York Fashion Week....Leather Flip

I didn't catch her name but she is a stylist. I know I promised to try and get names and details of what people are wearing these fashion weeks but I failed miserably even on the first one! Will try harder in London :)

Edit: Her name is Fifi!

New York Fashion Week....Leopard Print

Had to include these photos after my Big Cat analogy....the perfect way to wear leopard print.

New York Fashion Week....Denim Flares

My fav jeans brand at the moment is MiH jeans- these remind me of the flares from the range.

I thought this girl was a model (she is so naturally pretty!) but I think she works for Harpers Bazaar Russia.
