3.1 phillip lim

Check out these behind-the-scenes shots from the making of the 3.1 Phillip Lim spring 2013 campaign—starring South African model Katryn Kruger and German beauty Franzi Mueller—then watch the final video below.

What a stunner! I am one hundred percent in love with Irina’s style. There’s a bit of edge, a touch of lady, and even a little sport going on in her look.

Irina says she can’t wait for warmer weather and has been working her spring dresses into her wardrobe as much as she can. I am inspired to do the same, once I get home!

Twice in one week: Ella, you’re a star! I love Ella’s simple, modern vintage approach to winter wear. It’s great to see a blogger (La Petite Anglaise) who is so committed to her personal style and not easily swayed by trends.

Her pink sweater and bag added some much-needed lightness to the dreary day.

Sonomama at 3.1 Phillip Lim

Ladies, start your engines. The tough chicks of the café racer scene inspired 3.1 Phillip Lim‘s masculine-tinged fall/winter 2013 collection, shown yesterday in midtown’s cavernous Moynihan Station. The show was titled “Sonomama,” a Japanese phrase meaning “as it is,” or “as you are.” Lim showed us exactly who his biker babes are with a slew of sporty styles: light denim covered in patches, winged lapels, raw-edge leather and stiff, over-the-knee boots. His palette, while heavy on the neutrals and black, allowed for some cool jewel tones, salmon pink and olive green. (see also: 3.1 Phillip Lim backstage beauty)

We’re loving this 2-minute recap of all the looks at the 3.1 Phillip Lim Spring/Summer 2013 runway show. It’s the next best thing to being there live!

Holy model! Anna is a straight up stunner. I love her minimalist, chic pastels and slim-cut suit illusion. Anna says she loves modeling, but was excited to be on the other side of the runway for a day.

While Anna hails from Russia, she said New York is her favorite place in the world.

Mary is a Dallas-based blogger (M.A.S. Fashion) and came to NYFW for inspiration. Although the crowds are intense, she says going to shows and chatting with her fellow bloggers are worth the exhaustion.

As for personal style, Mary likes to wear neutrals with leather and says her mantra is casual chic.

Crowd Surfing at NYFW, Pt. 1

The people watching at Fashion Week is just as fun as the shows. Lincoln Center, in particular, is constantly flooded with bloggers, celebrities, editors and random bystanders who don’t mind having their picture taken. Here’s a sampling of what I saw today:

This is Project Runway Season 6 contestant Christopher Straub, with America’s Next Top Model judge Kelly Cutrone, whose company, People’s Revolution, is producing several NYFW shows this season. (She gave me a secret password that’ll get me into any of them—yay!)

Love the unexpected lack of heels on this girl’s shoes.

This studded bag reminds me of one by Alexander Wang. I’ve been seeing them everywhere this season!

Love this girl’s breezy, voluminous pants and sweater. She’s probably the most comfortable person at Lincoln Center—without sacrificing style.

Minimalist heels, bright neon Proenza Schouler and a 3.1 Phillip Lim bag—the recipe for a killer outfit. Krystal from This Time Tomorrow rockin’ the large version of the ‘Pashli’ bag I wrote about earlier.

Time for some dinner. I’ll be back later with more Fashion Week coverage!
