Photos from the Chanel show yesterday.

It’s always such a huge visual fashion stimulation for me snapping outside Chanel because you really see a mix of equal parts eccentric and conventional dressing in one place.

Loved the all blue look.

Every time I see her, its always Wow! She piles on the accessories every time, and I love that confidence to pull it off.

Patchwork Chanel oversized bag, stacked Hermes bracelets, multiple Yves Saint Laurent rings. She’s wearing an entire college tuition on the right side of her body. Fashion as status symbol.

Color block anyone? I took so many shots of her, full body, sitting, standing, but somehow I just love how it seems like there is a halo around her in this shot.

Wait, I’ll post the full outfit soon so you all can see the colorful heels too. She wasn’t holding anything back about the mix of colors.

At Chanel you can see classic-clean styles and fierce-fun styles

There are many street style blogs around these days.  Let’s face it, with so many well and uniquely dressed people to photograph we’re thankful that with the click of a mouse we can get fashion inspiration from all over the world.

Which is why this week I wanted to introduce you all to one of my fave fashion / street-style photographer Vanessa Jackman. This Lawyer turned photographer has a love affair not only with her camera but with sharing her visual stories of those among us who can stand out from a crowd whether they are trendy in the lastest seasons wear or comfortably dress to express their personal sense of style.

The Man behind the lens Bill Cunningham. The democratic photographer.

During the last Paris Fashion Week, I met Bill Cunningham on the street outside the Zac Posen show at The Four Seasons. As usual, he had his camera in hand and was busy snapping away at interesting people, not so much concerned for the brands and celebrities but about really photographing fashion as it happens. It’s about the clothes! After all we are all walking canvases, right?

I’ve been seeing his photos on the New York Times website for a while now, and listening to this video makes me love him even more. Such a simple yet great man.
