PARIS - Katya Ryabinkina came running out of the Issey Miyake A/W 2012 show in her street wear, all smiles, and into the arms of her sister, Simone. Katja was a total ham for the cameras, making silly faces and even posing with a baguette at one point. (Where did it come from? I don't know.) Bubbly and effusive, she praised the show for being "amazing," and went on about how the shoes were especially comfortable and that she was going to buy a pair. Her coat and leather jacket are from Topshop and her skirt is from Zara.
Simone, on the other hand, was quite camera shy - this was the only picture I got of her actually looking directly at me. Regardless, I thought she was just so terribly, so effortlessly chic. She said she had "no idea" where her clothes came from (ha!), whereupon Katja jumped in to tell me her sister shops vintage. There you go.
