VVC Nights: LA Grunge Meets Rock n' Roll Chic

 

 

 

Blame it on Hedi Slimane. Grunge is alive and well on the LA nightlife scene. LA's cool kids are always out to make a fashion statement, and they were right on trend at Monster Energy's 9th Annual Music Saves Lives kick off party last night at The Park Showroom in downtown LA. Attendees including Chelsey Ibarra and Amber Sinne (pictured above) came dressed ready to rock out to bands such as Andrew WK, Oh, Be Clever and more. The look was decidedly '90s grunge meets rock n' roll chic with fur vests, leopard prints, leather jackets and plenty of plaid. Styling tip: Tie a plaid shirt around your waist for of-the-moment chic.

Here are a few of the best looks of the night.

Street CHIC: Karlie Kloss at Paris Fashion Week #TBT

 

 

 

Ultra classic street chic.

Paris Fashion Week is a wrap and there's a multitude of new street style looks on the web. But here's a throw back shot of Karlie Kloss in the Tuileries I snapped on my last visit to the shows. She looks every bit the chic off-duty model in a turtleneck sweater, denim shorts, black boots, chic bag and aviators - Very, very chic any time of the year. #love

 

Street Chic at AGENDA

 

One of the best reasons to cover a trade show is, of course, to check out the always trendy fashion crowd. Yesterday I attended the AGENDA show in Long Beach and there were plenty of chic fashion babes. With the show's surf, skate and streetwear heavy focus, "the look" is incredibly now. Street chic trends included plenty of prints, plaid, denim, camo and, yes, my favorite, black. Here are a few of the best looks I spotted including Feral Creature blogger, Eugénie Grey, pictured above.

It's hard not to notice Elena Perminova's chic style. Couture Week just wrapped up in Paris and I am still obsessed with these shots of her in Giambattista Valli, Burberry and Ulyana Sergeenko. From Perminova's glam Instas to Tommy Ton's street chic images on Style.com, her style is inspiration du jour. The Russian model cum style icon always seems to strike the perfect balance with eye popping colors, of-the-moment trends and haute couture. Check her style on Instagram @lenaperminova

Weekend CHIC

 

Street chic is all about effortless cool.

Last weekend I spotted musician Marnie Herald in Los Feliz while grabbing my morning Cup o' Joe. She was crossing the street with her cute dog George - aka The Kid. I had to stop her and take a quick pic of her chic Diesel cape and skinny jeans accessorized with worn in boots and a scarf. With style like that it's no surprise she is also a stylist. Marnie and friend Sima Kumar styled Daniel Day Lewis for the Golden Globes. Follow Marnie on Twitter or Instagram @marnieherald

SHARP Shooters: Meet Paris Fashion Week's Chic Bloggers

Bloggers have become the darlings of the fashion scene. Not only are they blogging about fashion, but they are looking chic while they're doing it. 2011 was the break out year for the street scene. And now bloggers are establishing their own fashion identities while capturing some of the chicest looks on the street. While covering runway shows in Paris, I took a moment to capture some of the sharp shooters on the front lines of Paris Fashion Week.

Jerusalem Market + Fresh Juice = Heaven

 

 

 

 

One of the best parts of visiting Israel for Tel Aviv Fashion Week, was a day trip to Jerusalem coordinated by the show organizers and Ministry of Tourism. There we visited the sites including the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, Wailing Wall and the local market or shuk. My vintage blazer was a perfect choice to wear for the day. Its bold colors and ethnic print seemed to suit the neighborhood as captured by my new friend Gabriele Dirvanauskas's iphone. A special treat? One of the local delicacies - fresh fruit juice. Pomegranate, orange and grapefruit. Delish!

 

 

 

Scouting Street Chic at Tel Aviv Fashion Week

What were they wearing at Tel Aviv Fashion Week?

From ethnic prints to bold colors and vintage finds – it was an eclectic mix. I always enjoy visiting other countries if for no other reason than to see what people are wearing. I've never visited the Middle East before and it was quite exciting to see Israeli designers on the runway and scout the local fashion scene. Many attendees favored local designers including Nethanel Zikri, Alembika, Galit Levi and ‘70s era Maskit. Dresses, skirts and moto jackets topped the list along with artsy necklaces and colorful embellishments and plenty of shades. Here are a few of the best looks I captured at the historic HaTachana train station in Tel Aviv. For more.... go to my home base at ApparelNews.net.

It was the color du jour on the streets during Paris Fashion Week. From chic vintage dresses to handbags and ruffled tops, the sunny hue made a bright statement. Here are a few snaps of those who wore it best.

Paris Street CHIC. Is. All. PLAY.

 

 

 

That is, Patttern Play.

Some of the chicest looks worn during Paris Fashion Week were colorful graphic patterns, polka dots and animal prints - especially snakeskin bags as the accessory du jour. While color blocking still made a statement, the update is much more sophisticated. Prints are layered, color palettes softened and textures add surface interest. Here are some of the best looks I spotted throughout the week.

How do you spell chic?

P-A-R-I-S  F-A-S-H-I-O-N W-E-E-K!!!

I'm planning my wardrobe for Paris and I decided what better inspiration than to review the street chic from the Fall 2011 shows?!! Of course to be fashion forward, the look must be updated with the latest trends. But nothing can capture that certain je ne sais quoi quite like the Parisian streets. From Dior at the Musee Rodin to Chanel at the Grand Palais and Valentino and Elie Saab in the Tuileries, I captured some of fashion week's chicest ladies - and yes, a few very stylish men!! The faces, the names - Anna Dello Russo, Kate Lanphear, Giovanna Battaglia, Martha Streck, Kanye West, Fan Bing Bing, Abbey Lee Kershaw - they're all here.

Covering Fashion's Night Out in LA

 

 

Smashbox Studios & Ron Herman presented a Pop Up Fashion Photo Studio at Fred Segal Melrose
 

 

From Christian Louboutin and Philip Lim on Robertson Blvd. to Kill City and Fred Segal on Melrose, I braved the crowds to cover Fashion's Night Out for Apparel News. For the third year in a row, the style set around the globe has joined forces on one night to celebrate fashion. The shopping extravaganza organized by Vogue and the Council of Fashion Designers of America was originally created to help stimulate the economy - and it’s become a whole lot of fun. Retailers, designers and editors joined celebs and the general public in a multitude of events throughout the evening. Think bands, games, one-of-kind products, food trucks and more! There were plenty of people out in LA. Finding parking was the most challenging aspect of party hopping across town, but it was worth the effort. Here are some fashionable pics of the night.

Enough said.
