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

*who I think now has now changed her hair colour to blonde!

New York Fashion Week AW 2012...Alison

Model Alison Nix, after Diesel Black Gold, NYC, February 2012.

Love this colour block look on Alison (how cute is her short haircut? there is another photo I took of her backstage at Margaret Howell which shows it more clearly) especially her Carven sweater. I think she has styled it all brilliantly (note the crop pants + boots).

Recreate Alison's Look (kind of):

Carven colour block sweater or Alexander Wang colour block sweater or Rag&Bone Dakota colour block sweater 

3.1 Phillip Lim Pashli croc-print mini satchel

Acne Clover wrap strap boots or ASOS black Albi leather chelsea boot (these also come in a few colours with contrasting inserts - very fun).

Persol round sunglasses

ASOS boyfriend knit beanie



London Fashion Week AW 2012....Backstage at Margaret Howell

Backstage at Margaret Howell, London, Sunday 19 February 2012.

Low ponytails pulled effortlessly to one side under pom pom topped Tam o' Shanter's and low-riding beanies, freshly cut slices of crimson streaked blood orange and wedges of crisp winter apples, sleepy eyed models sipping welcome cups of freshly brewed coffee (show start time is 9am), boxes of brown and black preppy penny loafers, utilitarian canvas backpacks, refined twinsets, knee-length gently pleated skirts and mannish blazers (evoking images of the young Mitford sisters in the 1930's), heavy wool military-inspired coats.....and one Paddington Bear navy knee-length duffel coat, flushed rosy cheeks (a brisk walk in the country on a winter's day perhaps?), wool pants with front pockets and track-pant hems, tales of acting and photographs (we loved seeing you back on the runway this season Dorothea Barth Jorgensen).....These Are a Few of My Favourite Things from backstage at Margaret Howell AW 2012.
