New York Fashion Week AW 2012...MJ

MJ, after Rodarte, NYC, February 2012

Absolutely adore Aussie model, MJ (Wilhelmina agency) she is super nice, funny and very grounded. And you get the feeling that no matter how big she becomes, she will always remain that way.

And I loved that she walked in the Rodarte show. MJ still lives at home in Alice Springs in Australia (which is pretty much at the heart of the Australian Outback) and the Mulleavy sisters' inspiration for the fall collection was.....The Australian Outback!

Paris Fashion Week AW 2012...Grace

There is something about New Zealand born, Paris based Grace's style that I absolutely adore. It's...unaffected, undone, honest somehow....rather like that of another one of my girl style crushes, Ursina. It is refreshing to see at fashion week. And of course I am crazy about Grace's freckles ;)

One of my friend's said to me at Chanel, "Ness, I just photographed a girl you would love....she is SO your type". When I looked at the photograph on the back of her camera, it was Grace! It is funny that most of us photographers at the fashion weeks have a particular type of girl/style we like photographing. It is what keeps things interesting, I think.

Recreate Grace's look (kind of):

Whetherly Noam double jersey tee or ASOS double-layer tee

Max Studio dark brown leather coat or Marni caramel leather coat or Vince leather coat (a great trans seasonal piece) 

Duffy grey wool and cashmere beanie

Marc by Marc Jacobs electro blue Too Hot to Handle zip around wallet or wristlet  
Smythson orange Keep Calm and Carry On notebook (a motto I like to play on repeat in my head during the fashion weeks ;)

Essie mint candy apple nailpolish (do you see the colour of Grace's manicure...and her hand chain? So cool!)
