Paris Couture Fashion Week AW 2012/13....Jac

Polish model Jac (IMG), after Elie Saab Couture, Paris, July 2012.

Danish model Josephine Skriver (Marilyn), after Giambattista Valli, Paris, July 2012.

Paris Men's Fashion Week SS 2013...Tatiana

Tatiana, after Miharayasuhiro, Paris, June 2012.

Love how Tatiana has worn her hi-lo/dipped hem dress: cinched with a belt to make it empire line-ish and black laced up ankle boots. The way she has styled her look reminds me a little of Laura's look....

Recreate Tatiana's look (kind of):

Gryphon Rhapsody dress, Love Feather print chiffon wrap hi lo dress, Ella Moss Enchantress sleeveless dress, Riller & Fount Willow dress, Wilt hi lo strappy dress or For Love and Lemons hi lo dress

Alexander Wang Daria high combat boots, Nasty Gal Prague combat boots or ASOS Amber leather ankle boots

Paris Men's Fashion Week SS 2013...Junior Street Style

After Paul Smith menswear, Paris, June 2012.

I photographed this handsome littlie last year after Paul Smith (his mama is Sanny Dodd, Head of Licensing for Paul Smith - hence his cute little Paul Smith outfit) so it was nice to see him again!

Paris Couture Fashion Week AW 2012/13....Before Stephane Rolland

Before Stephane Rolland, Paris, July 2012.

Yesterday, when it was teaming with rain here in London, I saw 3 separate girls wearing army jackets/anoraks over dresses and thought they looked great. Inspired by their looks, I decided to post the photos of this girl and Jac (see post above) from couture in Paris....both wearing an army jacket in very different ways. If you don't already have one in your wardrobe, vintage/charity stores always seem to have a few in stock (there is one vintage shop in the Marais in Paris which always seems to have a couple available).

Recreate her look (kind of):

Paul & Joe Sister Spinner cotton-twill jacket, Topshop Army shirt jacket, Etoile Isabel Marant Alan jacket, Topshop khaki army jacket or Thakoon Addition Flower camo utility jacket (for those who want pretty + gritty)

BB Dakota Macyn lace skirt, ASOS Dress Gallery lace skirt, Club Monaco Julie silk lace skirt or Magda Berliner lace ribbon skirt

Topshop Sparkle Flower loop earrings, Bauble Bar Iced Rose drops or Marni Figurine and crystal drop earrings

Balenciaga bag, See by Chloe Bunny keychain, or Gucci faux patent leather parrot keychain (he reminds me of one of the parrot characters out of Rio!)

Paris Fashion Week AW 2012...Peony

Miss Peony Lim, before A Show, Tuileries, Paris, March 2012.

Paris Men's Fashion Week SS 2013...After Dior Homme

After Dior Homme, Paris, June 2012.

Such a fresh, pretty summery look: a lovely white peplum top, jeans, wedges and a basket bag (so chic and so often confined to fruit and veg shopping at the markets, or carrying things to the beach. This brings it back to city wear).

Recreate her look (kind of):

Julie Haus Novak peplum top, Alice + Olivia peplum top, River Island peplum top, or Elizabeth and James Yumi metallic brocade peplum top

Rag & Bone/Jean skinny jeans, J Brand 912 Pencil leg jeans, or A Wear slim boyfriend jeans

Paris Couture Fashion Week AW 2012/13...Elizabeth

Elizabeth Cabral, Fashion Director Flare magzine, before Giambattista Valli Couture, Paris, July 2012.

A summery version of the opulent trend for winter....metallic embroidery, jacquard, brocade, the more luxe the fabric the better!

Recreate Liz's look (kind of) in brocade/jacquard pieces:

Marni floral jacquard jacket, Tibi lurex jacquard top, Rochas brocade long sleeve sweater, ASOS skater skirt in snake jacquard, See by Chloe Bee Free brocade mini skirt , or Zac Posen metallic brocade pencil skirt
