Paris Fashion Week AW 2012/13...Karlina

Latvian model Karlina Caune (New York Model Management), after A Show, Paris, March 2012.

There are few things more striking than red against a bleak winter landscape.....

Recreate Karlina's look (kind of):

Red coat: McQ Alexander McQueen double-breasted red coat,  BB Dakota Rynn coat, French Connection Wonderland coat, Wallis red Funnel coat, or Vivienne Westwood Anglomania Rac coat

Paris Fashion Week AW 2012...Hanne

Hanne Gaby Odiele, after Giambattista Valli, Paris, March 2012.

Recreate Hanne's Look (kind of):

I love Hanne's trousers but there is a lot of fabric going on....which is a little tricky for those of us not blessed with as quite as long legs as Hanne's. I think perhaps heels are the key along with a defined, slim silhouette on the top. Anyone manged a pair of trousers this wide especially in a taffeta fabric?

Acne Nubia cropped turquoise taffeta palazzo pants, See by Chloe cotton-silk blend wide leg pants or See by Chloe denim wide leg pants

ASOS oversized boyfriend coat or Surface to Air red Maxi coat (I loved the oversized coats at Jil Sander and Celine...I can't wait to see them on the street next season)



New York Fashion Week AW 2012...After Ruffian

Falling snow + NYC + bouncy curls + perfect red lips =  all the things I love to shoot!

I was so excited when it started to snow in NYC....I couldn't sleep properly the night before, and when I looked out the window on the Saturday morning and tiny specks of snow were falling onto the fire escape, it was one of those yeehaw moments! I have never seen snow fall in NYC before - last February was my first winter season at NYFW and while there was lots of snow on the ground, it didn't actually snow while I was there.

I took a cab uptown and made the driver let me out at Central Park so I could take all the prettiness in...the park looks beautiful any time of day but to see it in the early morning with snow falling was pretty damn special. And then I got to Lincoln Centre just as the models from the Ruffian show were coming out....the hair, the red lips, the snow. So much loveliness to photograph.
