Paris Fashion Week AW 2013....Viviana

Stylist and Fashion Editor Viviana Volpicella, before Giambattista Valli (I think!), Paris, March 2013.

Recreate Viviana's look (kind of):

The coat of the season = menswear-inspired + oversized. Richard Nicoll oversized wool coat, Rochas overized open coat, Elizabeth and James Colton coat, Christopher Kane leather-trimmed coat, Vince colorblock coat, Rochas oversized coat, Topshop slouchy boyfriend coat or Jil Sander Alpaca-blend coat

Team with loafers to complete the masculine feel: Anthony Miles Brunswick penny loafers, Topshop Keith2 high vamp loafers, Marc by Marc Jacobs lace-panelled loafers, or Jason Wu Joni loafers

Paris Fashion Week AW 2013....Alison

American model Alison Nix, after Alexis Mabille, Paris, February 2013.

Love this masculine, tailored look on Alison. The grey tones work so well with her skin tone and blonde hair.

Recreate Alison's look (kind of):

Marc Jacobs oversized herringbone wool coat, Alexander Wang tailored external lining coat, Theory Elizabeth coat, ASOS Limited Edition Salt &Pepper longline coat, Givenchy single button coat, or Burberry Prorsum wool-twill coat

Suiting: Giambattista Valli bi colour blazer + Giambattista Valli skinny pants, Derek Lam one-button flare jacket, or Dries van Noten Jewel embroidered jacket

Alexander Wang Jana booties

ASOS rib knit snood, Rag & Bone Pennywhistle scarf or Topshop cobweb snood

Paris Fashion Week AW 2012...Doina

Beautiful (both inside and out), Doina Ciobanu, before Chanel, Paris, March 2012.

I love this look on Doina. She is still a teenager but wears this sophisticated, grown-up look beautifully. In fact I think clean, crisp masculine tailoring like this would work on women of almost any age.....and it is entirely suitable to wear in a more conservative workplace.

Recreate Doina's look (kind of):

Stella McCartney grey tailored blazer and grey slim fit flared trousers  or Reiss royal blue jacket and tapered slim trousers

Theory Larissa classic white shirt

Christian Louboutin Décolleté 100 glossed-leather pumps or ASOS shine patent pumps



New York Fashion Week AW 2012

Love these two girls....I kept bumping into them together (and neglected to get their names).

Love the masculine suiting on the girl on the right and the cropped length of her trousers. And how happy and fun are her socks/tights?
