Paris Fashion Week AW 2013

Before Giambattista Valli, Paris, March 2013

Another (slightly less revealing!) way to wear a crop top this spring/summer (or indeed winter if you live in the southern hemisphere). And a sophisticated take on the varsity jacket (and monochrome trend!).

Recreate her look (kind of):

Varsity jacket: Etoile Isabel Marant Anderson varsity jacket, Maje Audace two-tone georgette bomber jacket, Laveer silk bomber jacket, Topshop Jersey Varsity A Bomber jacket, Karl Lagerfeld Jack tweed and faux leather varsity jacket, or ASOS Varsity sweat jacket

Wide leg black pants: Bop Basics Work Trousers, Theory Max C pants, Michael Kors Jaryn crepe pants, ASOS wide leg pants, or Temperley London Tailored trousers

New York Fashion Week SS 2013

Before Theysken's Theory (I think!), NYC, September 2012.

Recreate her look (kind of):

Dramatic wide leg/flared printed pants: 10 Crosby Derek Lam wide leg pants, Cacharel floral print pants, Alice + Olivia Stacey stripe bell pants, Joseph Pyjama snake-print wide-leg pants, Alice + Olivia printed bell bottom pants, Marni wide-leg trousers, Sister Jane pants, or Topshop Unique silk wide leg check trousers

Sweater/top: Tess Giberson Droop Cutout sweater, Stella McCartney open-back knit sweater, Equipment Ashton sweater,Vince boat neck tee, or Selected knit sweater

Rag & Bone floppy brim fedora

Paris Fashion Week AW 2012....Peony

Peony Lim, before Giambattista Valli (I think!), Paris, March 2012.

Elegant, classic, smartly tailored....obviously Peony was wearing this during PFW but it is a look that would translate to the workplace/boardroom/meetings. The wide-leg pants are vintage courtesy of Peony's mama!

Recreate Peony's look (kind of):

Coat: Preen Zora coat with fur, Reiss Stella stone long line coat, Victoria Beckham zip-detailed coat or French Connection Wonderland wool coat

Wide-leg trousers: Alice + Olivia Eric wide leg trousers, Giulietta wide leg pants, ASOS high waist wide leg pants, Rachel Zoe Hudson wide leg pants, or Michael Kors Jaryn wide leg pants

New York Fashion Week AW 2012...Violaine

Violaine Bernard, Fashion Director Velour Magazine, after Jason Wu, NYC, February 2012.

Recreate Violaine's look (kind of):

Elizabeth and James Evelyn wide-leg trousers (wide) or Rag & Bone leather-trimmed silk-chiffon maxi trousers (super dooper wide)  or Elizabeth and James floral print palazzo pants (so pretty - like wearing a Spring garden on your legs!)

Violaine is quite petite and I think she is a great example of being able to wear the palazzo/wide leg pants trend without being model tall.
