The Sartorialist…..

My favourite funnel neck top worn with a biker and sunnies for one week and a masculine tailored coat in grey with a pop of coloured eye shadow for another week

Thanks Scott Schuman for taking these snaps for The Sartorialist

Paris Fashion Week Day 8

The Highlights.....

Outside the venue for the Louis Vuitton show

Make a shirt less formal with a leather jacket

Jacket by Acne

Shirt by JW Anderson

Jeans by Marrques Almeida

Shoes by Marni

Sunglasses by Thierry Lasry

Obviously I had to get that Chanel white nail varnish on the effect tres Bon!

Another great highlight was the colourful Miu Miu show with a bit of the great outdoors for inspiration making ugly outerwear like raincoats look cool in clear plastic and am sure everyone is going to want the new season wellies!

Today was the first Louis Vuitton show with Nicolas Ghesquiere at the helm. the show space was stripped back with electric blinds that let the natural outdoor light flood in to light the room once the show started. The clothes had a sixties spin on everything with an après ski feel to it all

Then we went wild for all things Chanel tweed sunglasses are a must have

The fabrics and textures from the show

Padlock necklaces covered in a number of coloured tweeds

Sweetie cuffs inspired a whole range of jewellery

And no doubt the Chanel trainer is going to be all we want next winter out your name down now!

Finally it's that Chanel shopping basket covered in tweed and metal chains they are not sure they are going into production but I think they have to!

Rihanna and Jared Leto were the front row stars today both seen at Miu Miu and very jealous she is wearing the, hot off the runway, Prada sheepskin coat that I want!

And then we left!

Back in England for a great sunset and the month is over

Until next season! 

Paris Fashion Week Day 7

Sunglasses by Thierry Lasry

Today was a highlight of the whole fashion month Chanel created a shopping mall with all things 'Coco'

Pop art at its best!

We are not looting I promise!

All the outfits you need to go to the supermarket in

(of course)

Let's go wild in the isles

The ultimate fashion accessory the shopping basket

And this seasons unlikely style icon Dale Winton

Too posh to push....not here

Rihanna gets all she needs at Chanel after the show

It's all about a white nail

Supermarkets always get you hungry so a trip to the infamous Cafe Ruc and their famous burger was all that was needed to fill the hole after Chanel

Next stop we get up close and personal at Dior

The Dior trainer is heavily embellished next season

Pierre Hardy furry bags and the eye shoes

Valentino next and he sixties is in full swing

Great hair ideas at Valentino

The chloe sunglasses are big and round

Choose a clear lense for winter use

Lots of snakeskin accessories spotted here at Chloe too

Comfy and cool the sheepskin heels at Chloe

Paris Fashion Week Day 6

The Highlights.....

Masculine tailoring is becoming stronger and my best advice is by a mans suit in a small size I have gone for a shorter length trouser so that it sits better with a boot and have styled with a simple jumper keeping the colour palette neutral with a touch of gold

Suit by Banana Republic

Jumper by Uniqlo

Boots by Balenciaga

Today we saw on elf my favourite jewellery designers Eddie Borgo
Inspired by blue and the blue city in Marrakesh delving deeper he realised the the blue city was a big inspiration to the interior designer Bill Willis who designed for Yves Saint Laurent and the Rolling Stones and if you are into Morrocan interiors start researching his stuff now!

Eddie's mood board

Tassels are a big part of the collection using all hand dyed fabrics

The more you stack the better it looks

Stella McCartney works knits into her collection and added a chunky white soled brogue to everything

A new label to know it's not new but start investing and this season she showcased amazing sheepskins, puffa details and silk prints, it was a huge hit and the coats are on my winter wish list!

Kenzo and their portable kitchen

The slogan back inspired by David Lynch and his films

Two of my favourite models and their show cards with what looks they are wearing for the Kenzo show

Entering the world of Charlotte Olympia #shanghai #fourties

Lots of kooky Chinese animal references

Balenciaga and tiles

Balenciaga and the branch

Jerome Dreyfuss and the cigarette box bag ( sounds like my kind of bag)

Such a great show and such great prints at Dries van Noten

The shoes at Rochas had a perfect balance of boy meets girl

And more of these shoe bag bags at Rochas too (more trend spotting!)

The hot ticket for Paris tonight was Saint Laurent with Article Monkeys sat front row in red leather trousers sipping Laurent Perrier out of the bottle

Boy meets girl at the Saint Laurent show it reminded me of a 60's spin off of Puss in Boots but here are great ways to wear a white shot next season plus get those knee high boots back too!

Tweed and glitter mixed well at Saint Laurent

Take your luck the boots are back in town (in a big way!)
