Thursday Feb 16 04:29pmTommy Ton picks the best off-runway fashion statements of 2011
Biggest Trend of the Year: Color
“Color for morning, lunch, and night. Just a year ago, it was all about the chic Parisian all-black look, but not anymore. This sighting of the young social set in colored frocks after Giambattista Valli’s Couture show proves it.” —Tommy Ton
Most Sought-After Subject: Ursina Gysi
“As quiet and quick as a mouse, Ursina is the girl every street-style photographer wants to photograph. Her bohemian/romantic flair is what makes everyone so curious about her.”
Best Invite Carrier: Christopher Kane
“Are you ready for this jelly? Christopher Kane’s gel-filled clutch was the most playful and adventurous accessory/toy of the year.”
Best Runway-to-Reality Moment: Ulyana Sergeenko
“Straight off of one of Richard Prince’s infamous nurse paintings, Ulyana delivered one of the year’s most gorgeous photo ops in veiled head-to-toe Louis Vuitton.”
Best Signature Pose: Natalie Joos
“Besides being the best-dressed casting director in the industry, Natalie has perfected her own signature pose, which the street-style mafia has deemed ‘the Joos.’ It involves a forward tilt with both hands on her bag and an expression like someone has told her the funniest thing she’s ever heard.”
Most Lethal Accessories: Kate Lanphear
“The queen of spikes and studs, Kate Lanphear, sported quite the fierce weapon this past season in the form of a Dominic Jones claw ring. If anything could scare off an unwanted street snapper, it’s this ring.”
Most Lethal Accessories: Elena Perminova
“Elena’s spiked headpiece was definitely a hair-raising accessory.”
Most Surprising Trend: The Sneaker
“After years of towering around in sky-high heels, it was only a matter of time before fashion insiders came back down to earth and slipped into something more comfortable. Embraced by tastemaker Phoebe Philo as she makes her Celine bows and also seen in countless editorials, the sneaker has become the shoe of choice.”
Best Post-Baby Comeback: Lauren Santo Domingo
“Just months after having her first baby, Lauren returned to the show circuit looking better than ever in a chic blush Armani Privé suit.”
Best-Dressed Model-Off-Duty: Hanne Gaby Odiele
“A true fashion lover, Hanne Gaby’s outfits were closely monitored all year, even by editors and stylists. Her quirky sense of style has officially made her a favorite of designers like Dries Van Noten, Proenza Schouler, and Christopher Kane.”
Year of the Russian Federation
“All eyes were on these four women in New York and Paris during the ready-to-wear and Couture collections. They stole the spotlight from all the editors, and their countless outfit changes were pure eye candy.”
The One to Watch: Liz Cabral
“Every season, we all look out for the next street-style star. This year, we saw the fashion week veteran, Flare fashion director Liz Cabral, blossom and spark interest with her eclectic ensembles.”
Most Worth Waiting For: Shala Monroque
“After spotting Shala dash into the Prada show without having the chance to snap a decent shot, it became a conquest to get that one photo of her. But it was worth the 45-minute wait in the dark, because this is the look of the season.”
