I don't spend much time poring over pictures of what the schlebs wear to fashion week. It's usually the photographs of the ordinary people I watch out for, who are snapped looking extraordinary. As a rule, celebrities lack the interest in style which is innate within the stylish girls who get photographed for their genius outfit combinations.
Kirsten Dunst is a case in point. She turned up to the Mulberry show on Sunday in the simple camel jumper and jeans combo pictured above, and later on to the Mulberry party in one of the brand's plainer pre-Fall evening dresses. If you passed an unknown individual wearing either of these unadorned outfits in the street, I doubt you'd look twice, and if Kirsten Dunst were a not a super famous actress she would not have these images of herself broadcast on several style websites since Sunday.
Yet Kirsten with her austere outfits has struck a chord with me. I think it's because she does look decidedly average - which isn't always a terrible thing. You hear all about these people who look as if they've 'thrown something together', but the outfits often encompass several layers and styles, and are likely to have been laid out on a bedroom chair the previous evening. Kirsten's are definitely thrown together - there's nothing more efficient than a jumper with matching bag and shoes, worn with jeans, or a dress with tights and heels.
Lately, I've been indulging in fashion in a dreamlike manner instead of literally wearing the clothes I would like to, throwing on jeans and a top instead of a complicated combination that could have come straight from an Urban Outfitters mannequin. This is why I personally took note of what Kirsten Dunst was wearing. Because she looks cool and free, wearing everyday clothes that aren't particularly 'in fashion'. They're not steeped in hyperbole, they aren't histrionic. They're classic, easy, they're SIMPLE, and they're what I, and most girls, wear on a day-to-day basis while we get on with our hectic lives.
While occasionally daydreaming of wearing Meadham Kirchoff, Celine and Acne, of course.
