A Peter Miszuk snapshot as seen on Elle.com
Models are a special breed, even among the stranger, hipper-than-thou fashion set. They are placed on a high pedestal for a number of reasons, not least of which for their sense of style. During the various fashion weeks, many were photographed in their own clothes, darting around town in between shows or loitering backstage during the lengthy hair-and-makeup stages.
In these shots—the best of which can be viewed on Elle.com, FaceHunter, and The Sartorialist—it’s clear that even fresh-faced catwalkers have perfected the dishabille-meets-disinterested chic. The signature multi-layered look has stayed strong in the modeling crowd—mainly because the time required to assemble the ensemble is virtually nil—and likewise, the whole je ne sais que-aspect is just as tempting as when Kate Moss first pioneered the look during the early ‘90s. While the finesse is maddeningly impossible to duplicate, I thought I’d point a few model-approved styles should you want to duplicate their look:
Phillip Lim’s dress, on Net-A-Porter
Swell’s Tinted Shades
Rick Owen’s Leather Bomber on Net-A-Porter
Frye boot, on Nordstrom
Stumble It!
