Paris Fashion Week SS 2014....Veronika

Veronika Heilbrunner, MyTheresa Fashion Editor, Paris, September 2013.

I love the quirkiness of Veronika's style (I think she was the first person I photographed wearing sneakers with a pretty dress). Her look here kind of reminds me of the girls at school who wore their skirts as short as possible while avoiding detection from the uniform monitors (i.e. teachers!) with the type of sensible lace-up school shoes which were the bane of my (teenage) existence.

Recreate Veronika's look (kind of):
