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

Rake Magazine's Fashion Director, the lovely Esther Quek, before Hermes, Paris, June 2012.

Elegant, opulent, luxurious, lavish and heady....words to describe Esther's dark, floral look here and words which I think we will be hearing a lot over the coming months when describing the feel of autumn/winter 2012.

Recreate Esther's Look (kind of):

Yigal Azrouel floral burnout top , Dolce & Gabbana printed silk top, Clover Canyon Marble necklace blouse or ASOS Empire print top

ASOS peg pants , Rachel Zoe Ian cigarette pants, or Boy. by Band of Outsiders straight leg pants

ASOS Statement Pharaoh collar necklace, Erickson Beamon Matador necklace, Belle Noel gold bars necklace

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

Violaine Bernard, Fashion Director Velour Magazine, after Juun J, Paris June 2012.

A fresh summery take on the coming season's obsession with all shades of purple (amethyst, grape, violet, aubergine, plum)....I love how Violaine has teamed her purple trousers with the neutral gilet, earrings and bag.

Recreate Violaine's look (kind of):

Acne Brooke cropped pants, Diane von Furstenberg Georginne pants, Jil Sander pants 

Alexander Wang cutout-away vest, Stella McCartney Bay woven vest, Topshop Moto oversized sleeveless biker jacket or Thakoon Addition cotton vest dress

Alexander Wang Carmen purple and black heels

Just Acces Brady earrings, Lanvin pompon earrings, or Miguel Ases Pearl Tassel earrings
