Paris Fashion Week SS 2013....Tiffany

Tiffany Hsu, Lane Crawford's womenswear buyer, before Carven, Paris, September 2012.

Recreate Tiffany's look (kind of):

Alexander McQueen leather peplum skirt, Tibi vinyl pencil skirt, 3.1 Phillip Lim textured leather skirt, or Emilio Pucci patent leather pencil skirt

Marni striped and checked tweed sweater, RED Valentino Fair Isle sweater, Opening Ceremony Fair Isle sweater, or Topshop knitted Fairisle Yoke jumper

Paris Men's Fashion Week SS 2013...After Dior Homme

After Dior Homme, Paris, June 2012.

Such a fresh, pretty summery look: a lovely white peplum top, jeans, wedges and a basket bag (so chic and so often confined to fruit and veg shopping at the markets, or carrying things to the beach. This brings it back to city wear).

Recreate her look (kind of):

Julie Haus Novak peplum top, Alice + Olivia peplum top, River Island peplum top, or Elizabeth and James Yumi metallic brocade peplum top

Rag & Bone/Jean skinny jeans, J Brand 912 Pencil leg jeans, or A Wear slim boyfriend jeans

Kors Michael Kors Vivian wedge espadrilles, Paloma Barcelo Canarias knotted wedge sandals 
or Paloma Barcelo Lucy patent leather espadrille wedge sandals

Rebecca Minkoff corn husk boyfriend tote or Cath Kidston weave basket bag

New York Fashion Week SS 2012...Maria

Glamour magazine's Maria Duenas Jacobs

A crisp basic white t-shirt + a pair of printed shorts + strappy wedges = perfect summer in the city wear.

Recreate her summery look (kind of):

Basic white tee: Vince Little Boy Tee,  J.Crew vintage cotton t-shirt, Theory brushed jersey t-shirt

Tailored printed shorts: Carven high waisted shorts (fab colours and the perfect length for city wear), J.Crew printed cotton shorts, No.21 printed silk shorts, Jil Stuart Abelie quilted shorts (love the bird pattern and quilting detail on these shorts) 

Diane von Furstenberg Opal crisscross wedge sandals

Paris Fashion Week AW 2012...Doina

Doina Ciobanu from The Golden Diamonds blog, Tuileries, Paris, March 2012.

Recreate Doina's Look (kind of):

All of these jackets are a little shorter and boxier than Doina's but I think they work well with jeans or shorts (denim or leather maybe?) for summer. Tory Burch Marion tweed jacket, Isabel Marant Wonda tie-dye jacket, DKNY fringed tweed jacket or ASOS boucle jacket

Mother The Curfew Prep bell jeans, MiH Marrakesh kick flare jeans or MiH Sugarland mid-rise bootcut jeans

Tory Burch Amanda pumps or Seven for Mankind Olivia wedges

Stella McCartney Falabella iPad sleeve
