Stylist and Creative Consultant, Ece Sukan, before A Show, NYC, September 2015.

Pleats please for spring and summer! There is something timeless about Ece's pleated skirt/turtleneck sweater outfit (and even if you aren't totally sold on the idea of glove flats, this would look great with just ballet flats).

Paris Couture Fashion Week AW 2014....Nasiba

Buro 24/7's Nasiba Adilova, before Dior Couture, Paris, July 2014.

So many beautiful pregnant women at couture, including Nasiba. It was a lesson in how to dress your bump in the last few months of pregnancy (or disguise it in the first few months ;). I loved everything Nasiba wore....it helps that she was glowing (a cliche but true!).

Recreat Nasiba's look (kind of):

Capes and ponchos are brilliant for bumps (so easy to throw on) but so is a flattering a-line coat or shirtdress. Add bright, fun accessories to an all-white look like Nasiba has.

Anderson cotton-jacquard shirt dress, Topshop cotton panelled shirt dress, 3.1 Phillip Lim long sleeve double-layer shirtdress, Thakoon Addition long sleeve V front shirtdress, Thakoon Addition long-sleeve striped shirtdress, or T by Alexander Wang cotton poplin long sleeve shirtdress
