New York Fashion Week SS 2013....Joanna

Style Director Harper's Bazaar (US), Joanna Hillman, after Rodarte, NYC, September 2012.

Another beautiful white blazer/jacket + scarf look.....this time accompanied by matching white pants. Love Joanna's signature red lipstick against the stark white suit as well!

Recreate Joanna's look (kind of):

White blazer/jacket: 

 Band of Outsiders crepe tuxedo jacket, Bop Basics The Fiance blazer,  Karl Lagerfeld Jophra blazer (the lolly pink trim adds an extra-bonus pop of colour!), Reiss Tia Eve Off White curved jacket, Veronica Beard The 2-in-1 jacket, ASOS linen edge to edge jacket, or Vince lightweight blazer

Neck scarf: Tory Burch Akira scarf, Athena Procopiou print scarf, Cut25 by Yigal Azrouel Fanburst scarf, Spun Scarves by Subtle luxury, Warehouse blue & white porcelain scarf

Blue tote: Rebecca Minkoff Dylan tote, Reed Krakoff  Boxer leather tote, or Liebeskind Olbia Satchel

Paris Fashion Week AW 2013....Lisa

Swimwear designer and stylist Lisa Marie Fernandez, before Chanel, Paris, March 2013.

Go all out in a white trouser suit like Lisa Marie is wearing (note the high-neck skivvy she has on underneath: perfect if you want to wear a white suit in Spring or Autumn/Winter).

Recreate Lisa Marie's look (kind of):

Band of Outsiders tuxedo jacket + Band of Outsiders tuxedo pants, Theory Tivona Jacket + Theory Mitrana B trousers, Reiss Tia Eve Off White curved seam jacket + Reiss Lyonaise Eve Off White straight leg trousers

Paris Fashion Week AW 2012...Before Stella McCartney

Sharp, sleek and crisp, a white suit always looks current no matter what the season.

Keeping it pristine clean and white, however, is another matter entirely (bravo if you own and wear a white suit and have kidlets. Sticky little hands + white = a tricky combination) although the fashion editors/buyers/stylists rarely seem to have this issue (don't ask me how, they just don't!).

Wearing separates - a lovely crisp white blazer with jeans or a pair of off-white wide-leg summer weight trousers with a tank and espadrilles - halves the white induced anxiety levels :)

Recreate her fresh summery look (kind of):

Acne Tate silk-crepe blazer (with sheer back panel for interest + cooling capabilities!),  Joseph Sir stretch blazer, Thakoon suiting blazer (in ivory) or Topshop Ponte boyfriend blazer

Alice + Olivia Eric pants or Sandro pants
