Paris Fashion Week SS 2013...Vika

Vika Gazinskaya, in pieces from her own Spring Summer 2013 collection, after Valentino, Paris, October 2012.

Vika's new collection was inspired by travel, clouds, and the landscapes of Iceland: the idea for this particular top arose from beautiful photographs her friend took of Iceland's houses on a recent trip there.

You can advance purchase select pieces from Vika's new collection on Moda Operandi here.

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

Designer Vika Gazinskaya, Place Vendôme, Paris, July 2012.

This was a fab vintage dress that Vika was wearing.

Recreate Vika's look (kind of): 

Thomas Wylde Peso printed silk chiffon maxi dress, Derek Lam halter maxi dress, 10 Crosby Derek Lam scarf print dress or if you like the print of Vika's dress but prefer a shorter length, this Tibi dress has a similar print.

Paris Fashion Week AW 2012...Vika

Vika Gazinskaya, after Christian Dior, Paris, March 2012.

Vika, in pieces from her spring/summer 2012 collection + Nike baseball cap + vintage t-shirt + statement earrings.

Another example of not keeping clothes/accessories for "good" (as my mum would say) but wearing beautiful pieces as often as you can. If you have a pair of fabulous statement earrings like Vika's that you save for special occasions, unearth them from your jewellery stash and try them for day (with a denim jacket or white shirt perhaps).

Haven't got a pair of party anytime earrings? Here are a few pairs similar to Vika's:

Kenneth Jay Lane marbled cabochon and pave earrings, Juliet & Company Celebration de Plage earrings or Baublebar Glam Burst drops

Love that black velvet bow nestled at her waist.

New York Fashion Week SS 2012...Miroslava and Vika

I think most of us photographers at the fashion weeks have a little style crush on these two Russian gals, Miroslava Duma and Vika Gazinskaya. Super cute, talented and oh-so-stylish. You can find Miroslava's blog here and Vika's website here.
Can't believe Miroslava has a baby boy (and that figure!). I think some of us (me!) were just as excited to hear about Miroslava's experiences as a mama as in the details of what she was wearing ;)
p.s. Vika is wearing a dress from her fall/winter collection
