New York Fashion Week AW 2012/2013....Sung Hee

Korean model Sung Hee Kim (Wilhelmina), after 3.1 Phillip Lim, NYC, February 2012.

I am a big fan of leather shorts - this season, the longer the better - and the different textures in Sung Hee's outfit. While it is all black, the different fabrics help to make it look interesting.

Recreate Sung Hee's look (kind of):

Leather shorts: Valentino leather shorts, Alexander Wang croc embossed leather shorts, See by Chloe Drawstring leather shorts,  Funktional pleated leather shorts, Karl Sanna glossed leather shorts, or Vero Moda leather shorts

Alice + Olivia Verity fur jacket, Rachel Zoe Brooklyn faux fur coat, Maje Roger hooded rabbit and shearling coat, ASOS Mongolian faux fur jacket (in black), or Antipodium Vyner fur sleeve bomber

Alexander Wang Elin desert boots

London Fashion Week SS 2013....Daniela

Daniela Morosini, from Couture and Crumpets blog, Somerset House, London, September 2012.

During fashion week, it is lovely to find wearable outfits...well, I guess everything is wearable but you know what I mean: "real" outfits that you can wear on a daily basis and not feel like you are going to be stared at as soon as you set foot outside your front door. And Daniela's outfit fits that description perfectly: leather shorts, a simple sweater and suede ankle boots (hers have studding detail on the back). Smoosh on red lipstick and you are good to go!

Recreate Daniela's look (kind of):

Leather shorts: BB Dakota Bryn leather shorts, Funktional Pleated leather shorts, 3.1 Phillip Lim drawstring leather shorts (a little longer and less fitted for those who prefer a wee bit more upper thigh coverage), Theyskens' Theory Paluccia Norinto leather shorts or ASOS leather shorts

Striped sweater: Chinti and Parker striped button-back sweater, Sea hand knit striped sweater, Collette by Collette Dinnigan striped sweater, Joie Aurore colourblock sweater, or Chinti and Parker striped sweater

Ankle boots: River Island zip and stud ankle boots, Ash super mid heel suede booties, or Twelfth St. by Cynthia Vincent Georgia booties

Margaret Zhang from Shine by Three blog, after Diesel Black Gold, NYC, September 2012.

Recreate Margaret's look (kind of):

Print shirt: Warehouse bird print blouse, Acne Patsy Bouquet oversized silk shirt, Tibi Jude silk shirt, No. 21 printed silk blouse or Topshop floral shirt

Leather shorts: BB Dakota leather shorts, Funktional pleated leather shorts, ASOS leather shorts or Isabel Marant leather shorts

Paris Fashion Week AW 2012...Chiharu

Beautiful Japenese model Chiharu Okunugi, after Guy Laroche, Paris, February 2012.

Chiharu's outfit is perfect for the UK weather at the moment - we are still rugged up in sweaters, coats and tights. When I am out and about on the streets in London, the colours are still very sombre - lots of black, navy and charcoal. Adding a beautiful scarf for colour, and a pair of leather shorts for texture adds interest to a winter → spring transitional wardrobe.

Recreate Chiharu's look (kind of):

Theodora & Callum Majorca fringed scarf or Marc by Marc Jacobs Arrowhead scarf or Etro paisley print scarf or Pieces Nicole scarf

J Brand black leather Lola shorts, Zadig & Voltaire Pitt Deluxe leather shorts, Free People Rocker vegan leather shorts

ASOS studded leather belt or Isabel Marant star-studded leather belt

Dr Martens boots
