A crop top and mini for winter? Sure you can! Just add tights and a padded jacket.

Paris Couture Fashion Week AW 2013....Daria

Fashion Director Daria Shapovalova, after Dior Couture, Paris, July 2013.

Recreate Daria's look (kind of):

For those living in the Northern hemisphere, even the thought of a long sleeve leather top (despite being backless) probably makes you break out in a sweat and/or heat rash. But in a month or so, the weather will turn a little colder and leather will seem much more desirable. Instead of a leather jacket or pants, try a leather top as Daria has done here. 

Helmut Lang leather top, 3.1 Phillip Lim zip leather sweatshirt, Fendi structured leather top, Y.A.S. Tram leather tee,  3.1 Phillip Lim quilted leather top, J.Brand Ready to Wear Anya leather top, 3.1 Phillip Lim stretch leather and cotton sweatshirt, or Topshop leather look tee

Paris Fashion Week AW 2013....Miroslava

Miroslava Duma (in Ostwald Helgason), after Chloe, Paris, March 2013.

Recreate Miroslava's look (kind of):

Print sweatshirt (I admit I had to look up exactly who Charles Baudelaire was.....for those of you who aren't familiar with him either, he was a French poet and art critic. He wrote some rather racy, dark material the most famous of which being a volume of poetry, Les Fleurs du mal, which was first published in 1857)

Ostwald Helgason sweatshirt in giraffe print, Zoe Karssen Born Wild sweatshirt, Wildfox I Scream L.A. destroyed sweater, Haute Hippie Marlboro Man sweatshirt, Marc by Marc Jacobs printed sweatshirt, Wildfox Chocolate Kitten sweatshirt, Topshop embroidered horse sweatshirt, Topshop Dweeb sweat (I am still giggling over this word....haven't heard it used in years!), or ASOS sweatshirt.  You could also try this with an old college/uni sweatshirt (Preetma did it beautifully) or one you have picked up from a concert or exhibition.

 Ostwald Helgason skirt, Milly Kylie stripe flounce skirt, Tibi Organza A line skirt, Alice + Olivia Puff skirt, Topshop broderie calf skirt, Carven structured skirt, Club Monaco Lolo skirt (super short but I think it still might work with a sweatshirt over the top), or Rag & Bone Neon cracked leather skirt
