Out and about....Elena as Pippa

Elena describes this as her Pippa Longstocking (Pippi Langstrump in its original Swedish) look. For it she is wearing her favourite Helen Yarmak coat.

Out and about....behind the scenes - Elena Perminova

The first shot of Elena was taken just before the Jean Paul Gaultier show. The second while we were waiting for the show to start. The only rest our street style stars actually get is when the shows are on and of course when they are in their cars between the shows. But Elena and Miroslava from yesterday are brilliant, playful and give us lots of time to get our shots. In these shots she is wearing a Louis Vuitton hat, Tommy Hilfiger jumper and Balenciaga  (I want these) shoes.

Out and about....Paris Couture, beautiful in the snow and rain

Vika beautifully embodies the spirit of my post name today. Everyone was beautiful in the snow and the rain that followed us during Paris Courture. But Vika is also wearing it.
All my images for Vogue are now live HERE if you want to pop over and see them.

Out and about....phone a friend

From Fashionistable

This is a very familiar sight during all fashion weeks. Everyone gets separated after the shows for one reason or another and at some point you need to find your friends. Or the rush is on to get to the next show and find (if you are lucky enough to have one) your driver. How on earth did we survive in the past without iPhone or Blackberry? Mostly the girls are looking for their friends. From the shots above I was able to direct Elisa to hers without her trying any further to get through. In some ways the phone can also be used as a defence mechanism, used as a barrier to try and keep the constant bombardment of photographers at bay. It can't be easy being photographed all the time.

Out and about....Paris

The beautiful Russians, they all turned up together for the Valentino show. What an impression they made as they walked through the Jardin des Tuileries.

Meet my new assistant - Anna has a new assistant. What do you think? I think she looks like a younger version of herself.

Anna Dello Russo resplendent in Chanel also wearing 2 of her own bracelets designed for her colabaration with H&M. For Anna this season was all about short dresses, well every time I saw her anyway.

After Valentino - I don't know who these guys are (I should have asked them). She looks magnificent.

After Giambattista Valli - in this instance I did ask her name but she didn't want to tell.
