Red trousers in the park
The sun was shining in London yesterday and all the gorgeous people came out to play. With temperatures higher than than the Mediterranean, it was time for ice cream, lazing in the park and good old fun in the sun.

While we’re on the subject of black and white, I thought I’d pick out some of my favourite monochrome looks from New York. The people in this city are so uber cool, they just don’t need to shout about it with colour.

Skinny stripes in Paris
A black and white striped trouser makes a big, bold statement. The attention grabbing skinny stripes above are worn with a leather jacket, fur trim and giant platforms to give a youthful rock ‘n roll look. Motel do a great pair for only £48 and you can get them here.
Striped trousers in Milan
These striped kick flare trousers create a chic and modern look put together with a simple charcoal jumper and stiletto heels. Zara do a gorgeous pair of striped palazzo trousers for only £25.99! Definitely a bargain worth grabbing.
Fashion doesn’t get more fun that the Prada SS12 collection. The nostalgic 1950s pieces with whimsical references to Cadillacs, hot rodding and golfing make for a beautiful collection with a sense of humour. It’s Grease lighting all the way with the bejewelled bomber jackets and flame motifs – I love it! Here are some photos I took of the collection out on the street at fashion week.

There’s nothing like a big, lavish hood to create an air of mystery and err, snuggliness. Here are two examples of gorgeous hoods, perfect for keeping that Parisian Winter chill at bay.

Bill Cunningham outside the Rick Owens show in Paris
Today I finally saw the documentary film ‘Bill Cunningham New York’ at the cinema. What an inspiration! As the original street style photographer, it was amazing to learn about his work and life (though the two really are intertwined). For over 50 years, his photos of those living in New York have not just documented current fashions in the city but also predicted future trends before they’ve become mainstream. He really lives for his work and it’s incredible to see someone so humble and passionate about what he does. It’s all about the clothes for Bill. Whether it be snapping a bag lady, to a group of teenagers in Harlem, to a socialite at a charity ball- if their clothes are interesting, he photographs them. His refusal to be paid for much of his work further demonstrates that he does his job purely for the love of it.
At fashion week I often saw Bill Cunningham outside the shows, quietly snapping away and always with a smile on his face! It was a real pleasure to see a legend in action.

I spotted this woman outside the Giorgio Armani show in Milan. The juxtaposition of casual trainers and a jumper, with the luxurious textures of the fur gilet and the feminine material of her skirt, creates an effortlessly chic look.
