What They Wore: Fashion Week Style
In the spectator sport of fashion, ready-to-wear shows may be the sanctioned events, but often the real action takes place outside the official arena. For us, the street style displayed during these biannual presentations is invariably inspiring and occasionally transformative. In fact, we'd go so far as to say that the edgy clothing combinations and influential ensembles are enough to turn any outfit-watching hobbyist into a high-stakes style stalker!
The idea behind creating this What They Wore: Fashion Week Style was simple. We wanted to take a moment to spotlight some of the women—primarily international industry insiders—who consistently amaze us with their cutting-edge taste. As photographed by trendspotter Anne Ziegler during the Fall 09 shows in New York and Paris, these style savants represent some of the boldest and brightest minds in the fashion world. Many of today's subject are responsible for awe-inspiring runway looks, editorial spreads, and ad campaigns; all of them have the kind of remarkable personal style that should be celebrated and studied. In the hopes of giving you a head start on the latter, we analyzed their top street style trends and have broken them down for your learning pleasure.
Fantastical Footwear
One of the most dynamic elements of these ladies' sartorial assemblages is their keen ability to balance the most sensational statement shoes with practicality. After all, they literally have to run around town to catch countless runway shows and make appearances at multiple parties each night, so the heels can't hurt (too much, anyway). Fashion's cognoscenti know that a killer boot or perfect platform has the ability to transform even the most basic outfit, but when worn in tandem with a beautifully executed ensemble, it can be the perfect final touch. Take Stacey Duguid, the executive fashion editor at UK Elle, for example. She wore a knockout plaid coat from London design duo Preen, Janet Collins handbag (formerly of Mulberry), and Burberry shoes, yielding an au courant look while showing off her allegiance to British designers! (Though they aren't straight off the runway, we like the Strappy Buckle Wedge ($184) from ASOS for a similar, budget-friendly alternative.) L'Uomo Vogue's Giovanna Battaglia selected equally striking shoes; her caramel-colored snakeskin boots set off her neutral A-line skirt, pussy-bowed blouse, and gold drop earrings perfectly. No wonder she's always considered the chicest of the season!
Unexpected Outerwear
The style-savvy set loves to play extremes and isn't afraid to experiment with bold textures and prints when it comes to their outerwear options. When the weather cools down, these fashion insiders opt for some seriously hot statement jackets to keep warm – and we love the end results! French fashion glossy L'Officiel's Sabrina Marshall chose a nubby gray sweater-coat to go with her tapered trousers and oversized clutch, achieving the perfect masculine-feminine androgynous amalgam. And who could overlook Barbara Martelo from Spanish Vogue, who wore a zebra print jacket, fitted leather pants, and Balmain's Fringe Leather Ankle Booties to the Chloe show at the Tuileries. We love the look of a loud printed jacket with cutting edge monochromatic basics in luxurious materials: c'est parfait!
Shock of Color
One of the many reasons we love to watch how these ladies pull themselves together for fashionable events is to see how they create transitional looks, for those tricky in between seasons. The way in which they blend their winter wardrobes with more warm-weather appropriate pieces shows us how to smartly do the same. One of the best ways we saw this done in Paris and New York was by adding a shock of bright color to an otherwise neutral or dark outfit. By adding a pale pink slip-like skirt and black jacket, opaques and booties or a shock of red to an otherwise muted grey outfit (as spotted outside of Stella McCartney and Zero Maria Cornejo's S/S 09 runway shows, respectively) these ladies added a fresh accent to their look. To get an equally chic contrast try a red pair of Rich & Skinny's Super Skinny Leg Jeans
($146) tucked into a grey slouchy boot like Steve Madden's Tyller Suede Boot
($100). Another great way to get a terrific transitional look is with a brightly-hued coat, which will create a swath color, as seen outside of Celine's Paris presentation. A belted mint jacket looks apropos and appealing over a turtleneck sweater-dress, paired with dark Wayfarers and open-toed Marni boots, ideal for making the trek from one glamorous show to the next.
Skinny & Slashed Jeans
Our final thoughts on street style address the most universal of fashion item: jeans. The shape and style that prevails is skinny in fit and slightly slashed at the knee, as seen on Vanessa Coyle, Senior Fashion Editor for British Harper's Bazaar, and stylist Deborah Watson. Coyle's outfit pays homage to the meticulous mash-up of denim and leather à la Riccardo Tisci's Givenchy S/S 09 show, though frankly we like her version better. She wore her cropped motorcycle jacket with rolled up skinny jeans and the perfectly layered denim shirt to the Stella McCartney show, proving that a sophisticated riff on the Texas tuxedo can work, when executed properly. Create your own economical version by layering your favorite moto jacket over BDG's Chambray Shirt ($52) and Forever 21's Stone Wash Skinny Jeans ($20). Watson went for a slightly darker pair with subtle distressing: another great choice. She styled her jeans with a stripped shirt, military jacket, printed scarf, and custom Goyard carryall, confirming her status as a mix-master extraordinaire. Follow her lead by donning J Brand's Wounded Knee Jeans ($189) with Forever 21's Crowns & Chains Satin Scarf ($9) to get an equally admirable look!

i think vanessa coyle has the best style of all. i love the light blue on light blue look shes wearing. xx Noir Blanc Et Rouge Partout Noir Blanc Et Rouge Partout those goyard bags are not attractive in my opinion and by far the biggest rip off out there. so unremarkable for the price. I love Krisana Palma's (NYC-based stylist seen at Maria Cornejo-Zero) use of color. I'm not surprised that she caught Anne Ziegler's eye - Krisana always adds edge to her outfits in creative and unexpected ways.
yay, finally, some actual fashion. the girl called 'outside of celine' (?) looks edible, love the cornejo outsider too. they are all adorable.
btw it;s just outside, not outside of, in proper english, not your bastardised, american version, bad writing. LOVE the leather pants paired with the zebra jacket. Absolutely love Barbara and Vanessa. They look so good. That's what I'm talking about! woah at barbara mertelo! she is working those leathers :D these are so pretty! some are uninspiring but some are beyond words! especially the bottom corners. love deborak watsons outfit! very cool. Great post - I enjoyed looking at all of the outfits, a lot of these ladies are definitely risktakers Not very impressed. Even Chloe's outfit is sub-par.. the bag that deborah watson is wearing is a Goyard. it is a bag maker in paris which makes made to measure bags with you initial. and it has a special print (you cant really see it in the picture). The starting price is around 2000$ What kind of bag is Deborah Watson carrying? Deborah Watson gets my vote ! and I love Giovanna Battaglia she is awesome :)
beautyandthestreet.blogspot.com I like the green and grey sweater! I like the fur coat but not with snake skin boots!
www.lovellegirl.blogspot.com Finally an interesting post for me! Funny how others felt different...Everyone has different taste! The outfit of the woman outside Celine is to die for, her boots especially. All the other women, though very well dressed, don't really catch my eye. No, no, no. vanessa coyle is the coolest. and those red orange tights are awesome. hatee that peasant skirt tried to look nice... not working. meh.

egotrippingatthegates.blogspot.com Is it me or do all of these women look a bit old to be dressing like this? The chick on the top right looks embarrassing in those jeans. ummmm, how do you put this gently? - no, none of the above, mehhhh
can i make any other sheepy sounds??
agreed w/ames and melody - with the exception of the bottom two (left & right - not the middle)
but even still.. i'm a bit disappointed..
\\yy xo
http://yvetteyeau.com Bottom left in the green sweater coat is by far my favorite, but I've always wondered about the belted coat thing. What do you with the belt when you go inside and need to take off the coat? Stick it in your bag, I guess? It looks great, but seems like a bit of a hassle. They all look hideous except for 2 in the bottom row (left bottom & right bottom). |
