Stylecard from Moscow

At the end of March, Miroslava Duma's digital mag Buro24/7 invited me to attend Moscow's Cycles and Seasons Fashion Week. I was beyond excited to attend as it was my first time in Russia, and, it was an opportunity to spend some time with my favorite Russian street style icons. If Miroslava's meticulous personal style is any indication of her approach to hosting, then you know that the time I spent in the Russian capital was a well curated introduction to emerging talents like Vika Gazinskaya, Nina Donis and Alexander Terekhov, as well as an informed glimpse at the must see and taste of the city. Even the rain, snow and sleet that pounded the pavement that week couldn't slow Miro's team down; our hosts Sofia, Hanna and Ekaterina made sure we made it to all our appointments (even in mind-blowing traffic! Thanks girls, miss you like crazy. Thanks Miro, I can't wait to come back! Now, here are some of the images that I snapped for my Grazia.it Moscow Cycles and Seasons diary.

 

1. A gorgeous Miroslava in Celine. Her necklace is by DANNIJO. I fell so hard for it that I ordered it as soon as I got home. Inspired!

2-3. Two amazing looks from the Nina Donis FW12 runway show.

4-6. A night out at Denis Simachëv's restaurant and concept store with our lovely hosts Sofia and Hannah.

8-12. Anastasia Ryabtsova checking-in before Vika Gazinskaya's show; two looks from the catwalk; and Glamour Russia's Oksana On.

13-14. Miroslava introducing Caroline Issa and GQ Russia's Michael Idov at their talk on the state of magazine publishing today; Miroslava with Stephanie LaCava before the Alexander Terekhov show.

15-17. Designer Alexander Terekhov making last minute changes the day before his show. Two glamourous looks from his FW12 collection.

18. The always stunning Caroline Issa, the awesome Sofia, myself and the incredibly sweet and grounded Hannah jumping at the Red Square.

Hope you love these images. Always want to keep you up-to-date on my photography.

Stephanie LaCava, NYFW FW12/13

How beautiful is Stephanie's Roksanda Ilincic blouse? It's so gorgeous! I love that she styled it with these super sweet, leather short shorts. The silhouettes work so well together and her boots give the whole look a great touch of edge. Plus, it's a great take on classic black and white.

Stephanie LaCava ❘ Fierce, Fun and Feminine

Stephanie looks Parisian sleek in a Zac Posen blazer and ombre-backed skirt, Isabel Marant shirt, Ann Demeulemeester boots, her mother's eelskin clutch and Oliver People's sunglasses.

When I asked her about her inspiration for this look, she shared:
"You can't let anyone know what you're thinking. This is fierce from the front and it's fun, little more feminine when you turn around-- I love how Zac did shirring and ombre from tan to grey at the back of the skirt. PS- the lady next to me looks far cooler."

I couldn't agree more with Stephanie. I love a little mystery when it comes to fashion. I adore guessing a style inspirations next step, and I am seriously inspired by spontaneity in one's style (all traits for which Stephanie is admired).

Thanks Steph, can't wait to see what you have in store for us next fashion month!
