Style Icons at Fashion Week

The weekly Style Icon series has been running for nearly 10 months now. As I was looking through the photos from the Front Row of the Fashion Weeks that have just come to an end, I thought it might be time to recap some of those who have been featured and who made their mark on the Front Row in New York, London, Milan and Paris:

First, Sienna Miller, who was not only making an appearance on the Front Row but also on the catwalk with her collection with sister Savannah, Twenty8Twelve:

Kate Moss has been a regular on the Front Rows since the 1990s and she continues to put her fashion foot forward:

Alexa Chung retains that quintessential English style that she has perfected, even when on the Front Row in another city:

Next up, Olivia Palermo was making waves here, at London Fashion Week and across the pond on the Front Row in New York:

Kiera Knightley, the face of Chanel's Coco Mademoiselle, made an appearance for the brand's show in Paris:

And finally, last week's Style Icon Clémence Poésy, here at the Chanel show in Paris:

If you have missed the Style Icons featured on the blog, check them out here.

Tell me, who is your style icon?

I am also looking for bloggers who would like to write a guest post for this series, about their Style Icon, please get in touch if you would like to get involved.

NYFW #10: Jason Wu Spring/Summer 2011

It might be Day 2 of London Fashion Week already but, here at Sugar and Spice, it is the last day of our look at Fashion Week across the pond:

Jason Wu's collection is wonderfully eclectic; from billowing trousers, pussy bows and corsages to frills and layers.

It would be rather fabulous don't you think to turn up to work in the bumble bee yellow and black striped jumper and royal blue turban?

NYFW: The Best Of The Rest #2

This is the second of two of The Best Of The Rest posts from NYFW:

Donna Karan's Spring/Summer 2011 collection continues the emerging trend of NYFW SS2011 of nudes and neutrals.

I never thought I'd like a collection by Tommy Hilfiger as much as I do this one. Really like the two dresses.

Emily over at Fashion Foie Gras puts is far more eloquently than I ever could with regards to the beautiful collection shown at Ralph Lauren, so go see her post for yourself.

What do you think of these collections?

NYFW #9: MARCHESA Spring/Summer 2011

The dresses in this collection are pretty awesome. The structures of those in the second set are innovative and intricate.

The lace jumpsuit in the middle really stood out for me. It's completely different to the other pieces in the collection and therefore, unexpected. But fits perfectly. It is my favourite piece of all.

What do you think of the collection?

NYFW #8: Preen Spring/Summer 2011

Hello London. Yes, today is the first day of London Fashion Week. I'll be picking out my favourites from the next five days here too. For now, 

A neutral and monochrome palette from Preen.

What do you think of the collection? And of this season's palette in general?

NYFW: The Best Of The Rest #1

This is the first of two posts, showcasing The Best Of The Rest of the shows at NYFW that haven't already been posted here this week:

It was all about Little House on the Prairie at Anna Sui: fringing, sheer and cowboy boots.

It was chic and clean lines at Carolina Herrera. And fabulous, wide brimmed hats.

Lovely scarves at DKNY. Loving the middle dress.

What do you think of these collections?

NYFW #7: Diane von Furstenberg Spring/Summer 2011

More red lipstick at DvF. Amazing!

The blue is such a fantastic and vibrant shade - perfect for spring and summer. I also fell completely for the last dress.

What do you think of the collection?

NYFW #6: Cynthia Rowley Spring/Summer 2011

Today is the last day of New York Fashion Week, before London Fashion Week kicks off tomorrow! I still have a few more collections that I want to share, so please bare with me.

What I loved most about the catwalk photos from Cynthia Rowley's collection was: the pillarbox red lipstick which stood out immediately on all of the models. Fabulous, darling! The pastels really help to make it pop. I need to get myself off to my nearest make-up counter for some red lippy!!

I also loved how cool Cynthia Rowley herself looked, as she came on to the catwalk at the end of the show:

Love the dress, love the boots, love the hair: love love LOVE.

What do you think of the collection?

NYFW #5: BCBG Max Azria Spring/Summer 2011

Another show and another relaxed and neutral palette. I love the gorgeously grown-up offerings of BCBG Max Azria.

I am already in love with this emerging trend for Spring/Summer 2011.

What do you think of the new season's colour palette?

NYFW #4: Suno Spring/Summer 2011

Whilst a fairly muted palette was still in evidence at Suno for Spring/Summer, the designer used them to create some fabulous print designs. I love the zebra print midi. And the sandals are amazing - I want the ones in the photo, top right and bottom left! Please!!

What do you think of the collection?

NYFW #3: Alexander Wang Spring/Summer 2011

Another neutral palette. Loose, floaty and chic: what more could a girl ask for next summer?

What do you make of the collection?

NYFW #2: Z Spoke by Zac Posen Spring/Summer 2011

Sun dresses galore at Z Spoke by Zac Posen - and some rather fabulous sunnies!! These are not helping my post holiday blues... I just want to be back beside the seaside!

Am a huge fan of print tees with tailored pieces - adds a bit of rebellion to items that can sometimes be a little dull.

What do you think of the collection? (Remember to check out yesterday's post and to check back for all of the others, throughout this week)

NYFW #1: Derek Lam Spring/Summer 2011

This is the first of my posts featuring my picks from New York Fashion Week, there are more to come. I have chosen - simply - those pieces from the catwalk that I liked. I hope you like them too.

Sharp denim tailoring, contrasting against crisp whites gave a twist to summer work wear.

Maxi dresses look set to continue as a trend, with formal and print maxis giving a touch of elegance.

Personally love the blue print maxi on the left, how glamorous is that? For a balmy summer's evening... **day dreams**

What do you think of the collection? (I had intended to only include a max of six outfits from each collection but loved so many more from this show)
