Some Carine Roitfeld street style inspirations from Couture week in January

Tomorrow fashion month, the 4 week marathon of fashion shows kicks off in NYC and fashion folks from all around the world have a journey from NYC to London to Milan and finally Paris ahead of them. They will see the woman’s collections for fall 2015 on the runways and have to look stylish in a mix of fall 2014 as well as cruise and spring 2015 items to create the parallel runway, which is known as street style. Sounds like a job to envy people? Well for me it sounds both great but also incredibly hard. Whenever we are traveling I either end up wearing the same boring looks all the time or having to pay a huge amount of money for overweight. However, during the most recent couture week in Paris Harpers Bazaar’s Global fashion Director Carine Roitfeld provided a perfect example of how the ideal travel packing might look like. Lets get inspired by Carine Roitfeld street style from Couture week!

First day of January 2015 Couture week and Carine Roitfeld wears a polarising look. She combines an incredibly elegant black fur coat with a pair of kawai cute screw heeled rain boots from MiuMiu, picture https://www.pinterest.com/stylecloseup/mademoiselle-c/

Rule No 1. The first real rule to stick to is to base your travel wardrobe on one item, which should be the heaviest piece. Getting inspired by Carine Roitfeld street style during couture week the best choice might be a nice coat. Its best to pack a classic that goes with everything every time and can be worn in many different ways.

Day 2 of Couture week in January – same coat this time around a totally classic look with just the right touch of Cardinish 60ies spirit due to the shades and square heeled cuissardes, picture https://www.pinterest.com/stylecloseup/mademoiselle-c/

Rule No 2. Well its boring to wear the same stuff every day. So spice it up. Its impossible to pack too many accessories. They don’t need a lot of space and are almost weightless. Think about several pairs of nice shades like Carines Cardinish 60ie style or her aviator framed sunnies. Gloves can be a good idea too. The value of great gloves is usually underestimated these days. And of course shoes!!! Just have a look at how Carine mixes the elegant coat, skirt and semitransparent black hosiery with these super girly Miu Miu screw heel rain boots from the brands fall 2014 runway. Its a totally unexpected and eye-catching outfit with just the right portion of irony for a rainy day! The sparkling square heel cuissardes play perfectly well with the current 60ies trend.

Rule No 3. Stick to one colour scheme while packing. Surely it does not have to be all black. But black is generally a wise choice when it comes to travelling. It does not show of dirt very fast, it usually works from day to night and perfectly well with almost every other colour!

What do you think about Carine Roitfeld’s sartorial choices for Couture week? Do you like how she shows the basic fur coat in so many different combinations or do you feel that a fashion editor should wear a totally different look each and every day?
