Paris Couture Fashion Week AW 2014....Nasiba

Buro 24/7's Nasiba Adilova, before Dior Couture, Paris, July 2014.

So many beautiful pregnant women at couture, including Nasiba. It was a lesson in how to dress your bump in the last few months of pregnancy (or disguise it in the first few months ;). I loved everything Nasiba wore....it helps that she was glowing (a cliche but true!).

Recreat Nasiba's look (kind of):

Capes and ponchos are brilliant for bumps (so easy to throw on) but so is a flattering a-line coat or shirtdress. Add bright, fun accessories to an all-white look like Nasiba has.

Buro 24/7's Miroslava Duma, Lincoln Centre, NYC, February 2014.

Such a chic way to protect your ears and neck from the cold (although probably only doable in subzero temps if you have a car and driver!), and a lovely way to add a splash of colour to a netural outfit.

Another chic Miroslava headscarf moment (back in March 2013).

New York Fashion Week AW 2012...Elisa

Model and actress, Elisa Sednaoui, after Michael Kors, NYC, February 2012.

Elisa's outfit is a lesson in how to wear fuchsia (and white) in winter without looking like you have mixed the seasons up or forgot to check the temperature gauge. And everything (well, probably not the coat unless you have a very mild summer) you could wear in spring/summer as well.

Recreate Elisa's Look (kind of):
