Paris Fashion Week SS 2014....Samantha

American model Samantha Gradoville, after Stella McCartney, Paris, October 2013.

Head to toe black in summer? Do-able especially if you add a split to show some sunkissed skin.

Recreate Samantha's look (kind of):

Maxi skirt or dress with split (which would also look fab with a denim jacket thrown over the top): Splendid Cap sleeve maxi tank dress with slit, Daftbird High Neck dress, Helmut Lang Side-split jersey skirt, Topshop Split Godet Maxi skirt, Norma Kamali Kamali Kulture Peasant Maxi dress, Felicity & Coco jersey tank maxi dress, Splendid Maxi skirt with slit, or Knot Sisters Illusion dress

Leather sleeve jacket: Vince leather sleeve jacket, Mackage Andra jacket, Blank Denim Vegan leather & Ponte jacket, or Costume National biker jacket

Sandals: Reiss Serena double strap sandals, Stella McCartney snake-effect faux leather sandals, Loeffler Randall Starla sandals, Steven Whymm Mixed Media sandals or Paul Andrew Persica t-strap ankle strap sandals

New York Fashion Week SS 2013....Natalie

Natalie Joos, before Theysken's Theory (I think!), NYC, September 2012.

Love this simple colourblock shift dress on Natalie. My favourite part? The subtle, oh-so-sexy when you turn, side split.

Recreate Natalie's look (kind of):

Tibi Peek-A-Boo colourblock dress, 3.1 Phillip Lim Twisted Placket dress (with a side slit which is buttoned up.....presumably you could undo the buttons of the slit though), Tibi Carey embroidery dress, Victoria, Victoria Beckham faille shift dress,  ASOS shift dress or ASOS shift dress with colourblock sides
