1. Giovanna Battaglia
Paris Fashion Week Womenswear Fall/Winter 2014-2015 – Street Fashion – Day 8 in Paris on March 4, 2014
Fashion Director, freelance stylist and L’Uomo Vogue editor, Giovanna Battaglia, amped up her color game by wearing a gradient top with matching pleated rainbow skirt. Monochrome but not quite. She toned down the prismatic look with a camel coat and accessorized with ankle-strapped heels and sunglasses.
2. Ming Xi
Paris Fashion Week Womenswear Fall/Winter 2014-2015 – Street Fashion – Day 8 in Paris on March 4, 2014
Model Ming Xi experimented on length and textures in this look. Her 40s-inspired pencil skirt clashed with the fabric of her coat, creating a striking look. And to give it a streetstyle boost, she opted for a pair of sneakers for her footwear.
3. Caroline de Maigret

Caroline de Maigret has a thriving career in the music and fashion industry. For Day 8 of Paris Fashion Week 2014, she went all black. But the monochrome look is anything but boring as she infused different textures starting with her deliberately crumpled skirt.
4. Elisa Nalin
Paris Fashion Week Womenswear Fall/Winter 2014-2015 – Street Fashion – Day 8 in Paris on March 4, 2014
Stylist Elisa Nalin wore a black pencil skirt with ruffled hem. But although the skirt looks comparatively nondescript, she made the whole look so Fashion Week-worthy by wearing statement accessories and going crazy on the arm party.
5. Stacie Chen
Paris Fashion Week Womenswear Fall/Winter 2014-2015 – Street Fashion – Day 8 in Paris on March 4, 2014
We’re not sure if Fashion Week regular, Stacie Chen, was wearing a dress or a skirt in this outfit but we sure love the idea of a bold-colored and pleated midi skirt paired up with a boxy coat of the same color. You can’t go wrong with the monochrome look in Fashion Week.
6. Ece Sukan
Paris Fashion Week Womenswear Fall/Winter 2014-2015 – Street Fashion – Day 8
Multi-hyphenated fashion maven, Ece Sukan, also went for the monochrome look. To keep the look interesting, she experimented on silhouettes and wore a peplum jacket over a wrap skirt.
7. Sarah Rutson
Paris Fashion Week Womenswear Fall/Winter 2014-2015 – Street Fashion – Day 8
Lane Crawford Fashion Director, Sarah Rutson, successfully pulled off a utilitarian-meets-chic look. She’s wearing a dress here but the same look can be achieved by wearing a skirt with a sheer overlay and then layering it with a structured blazer.
8. J.J. Martin
Paris Fashion Week Womenswear Fall/Winter 2014-2015 – Street Fashion – Day 8
Italy at Wallpaper editor-at-large, J.J. Martin, emphasized a long silhouette with her midi flounce skirt and long vest, worn over a sleek black turtleneck sweater.
9. Eva Chen
Paris Fashion Week Womenswear Fall/Winter 2014-2015 – Street Fashion – Day 8
Fashion Editor Eva Chen kept things simple but cute in a perforated A-line skirt. Her cropped cape sits at just the right level over her skirt to keep her silhouette crisp and well-balanced.
