I’ve always loved a wide-leg trouser and Michelle, shot by Stockholm Street Style in Paris, makes a great case for the return of this look for fall/winter. These aren’t the wide-leg pajama style palazzo pants we’ve been accustomed to seeing lately. These pants are classic menswear inspired and tailored. This style may have made a big trendy comeback on the Fall’12 runways of Proenza Schouler, Calvin Klein and Celine but it’s a timeless and essential silhouette worthy of a spot in ever woman’s closet.
Mary Katrantzou has collaborated with Current/Elliott to design a capsule collection. Inspired by Katrantzou’s ‘World Traveler’ Spring’13 theme, the collection features postal stamps, banknotes and foreign currency patterns digitally printed on dresses, minis, tops and jacket, all cut from denim. Working with denim is a first for Katrantzou and we got to say the result of this union between the high-end London designer and denim giant Current/Elliott is a hit.
Opposites always attract. That’s DJ NiRE’s ethos when it comes to not only the genre-bending beats she produces or the eclectic music she spins at NYC hot spots like Le Bain, Santos, Highline and Le Poisson Rouge, but it’s also her faithful approach to her personal style; which consist of a harmonious sartorial mash-up of vintage, designer, streetwear and menswear-inspired separates.
There’s an endless array of cool street-style mavens running around Paris at the moment and luckily for us, there are twice as many photographers on the loose capturing all the fabulous style moments. There’s so much amazing and eclectic off-the-runway looks at Paris Fashion Week, it’s a great place to find inspiration. From a chunky knit teamed with a maxi skirt, a sweater dress and statement scarf to a varsity jacket in a coat length and a peplum hem wool skirt paired with over-the-knee boots, here are 14 looks I’d love to wear this fall.
Animal motif sweaters aren’t just for kids anymore. Horses, tigers and owls are emblazoning adult-size sweaters this fall. From the runways to the streets, these kitschy sweaters are having a moment dominating the style landscape.
They’re cute and silly, and juxtaposed with edgier or tailored pieces ( like pencil skirts, leather shorts or skinny trousers) animal graphic crewnecks lend the right amount of youthful whimsy to any look.
Back when we first launched Fringueuse, we introduced you to blogger Aliya Armorer. Her blog, of which we are big fans, the marant philes is a love letter to the French designers’ aesthetic and a look into her own personal collection of Isabel Marant ready-to-wear and accessories. Check out our post on her here.
We enlisted Armorer to give us her take on Isabel Marant’s latest Americana influenced Spring’13 collection.
LANVIN
Construction, or more specifically the re-construction, of classics was key at Lanvin with the tuxedo silhouette, pantsuits and the LBD undergoing a stunning architecturally tailored redesign that also found the designer delving into Japanese references.
HAIDER ACKERMANN
Haider Ackerman’s signature expert tailoring and layering continues to thrive for Spring’13. Floaty robes layered over blouses, sleeveless blazers held together at the waist with obi-style belts and romantic gowns layered over louche trousers.
You wouldn’t necessarily associate plaid with elegance but that’s exactly what Dries van Noten offered up for Spring’13. Van Noten may not be the first designer this fashion week season to dip back into the grungy ’90s for inspiration for next spring, but his gorgeous execution is what separates him from the pack.
The beauty of this collection is rooted in the unexpected contrast of the casual workman pattern, cut in precious organza and silk, with the refined femininity of flower embellished midi skirts and easy trousers all cut in a fluid and relaxed silhouette that added a big dose of cool to the looks. |
