Camille Charriere from Over the Rainbow blog, before Vivienne Westwood, Paris, September 2012.

Envelop yourself in an oversized coat like Camille has....but keep your legs bare (if you can manage it in the cold!) or at least your lower silhouette narrow, to avoid your body disappearing beneath the coat!

Paris Fashion Week AW 2012/2013....Suzie

French model Suzie Bird (Elite), after Viktor & Rolf, March 2012.

Oh the brutal romanticism of winter: bare trees, grey skies, biting winds and freezing cold....the time of year when deep, dark red lips never look out of place, and black tights are de rigueur (unless you have a car and driver of course!). 

Recreate Suzie's look (kind of):

Take an oversized boyfriend coat: Isabel Marant David coat, Etoile Isabel Marant Diego boucle coat, See by Chloe oversized coat with neoprene collar, Topshop boyfriend coat in boucle or mohair, Heidi Merrick Jeffrey coat with tan collar, Carven contrast collar coat, or Paul & Joe Sister double-breasted coat

And then add a pleated midi skirt: Sonia Rykiel nude pleated skirt, Topshop midi pleated skirt, Chloe pleated wool-flannel skirt, ASOS check midi skirt, or ASOS ponti midi skirt

Paris Fashion Week SS 2013...Karin

Swedish model Karin Hansson (Next), after Arzu Kaprol, Paris, September 2012.

I love Karin's understated style: one of my favourite photos from Paris Fashion Week this time last year was a photo I took of Karin after the Vanessa Bruno show. What was she wearing? A simple white shirt, denim cut-off's and a pair of Converse (I think!). And this look? Something to slip on for the weekend: for brunch with friends, shopping, a trip to the markets...easy peasy casual chic.

Recreate Karin's look (kind of):

Oversized boyfriend coat: Etoile Isabel Marant Diego coat, Jil Stuart Kat coat, See by Chloe coat, Proenza Schouler coat, Topshop boucle Boyfriend coat, or ASOS White leather trim coat

J Brand Aidan slouchy boyfriend jeans, Current/Elliott The Boyfriend jeans, or Citizens of Humanity Dylan boyfriend jeans
