Does the outfit above look familiar? It should; I pretty much copied it in my outfit post yesterday. Until I saw the above photo on Vanessa Jackman’s blog, I’d never really thought of Alana Zimmer as a style icon. Unlike many other models, Alana doesn’t appear on every single style blog during Fashion Week, but lord almighty when she does she looks goooood. So good in fact that I nixed the other style guru I had in mind for this month and decided to feature her instead.

Her style is simple, clean, and feminine – kind of like a Celine collection. Her outfits don’t feature a ton of color, but when they do she knows how to work them in without looking like a character from Rainbow Brite (not that anything is wrong with Rainbow Brite, I love Rainbow). But take the outfit featured below: the clementine orange sweater is just the right touch of color to a simple look of navy trousers and a crisp white button down. In fact, many of her looks have that one accent piece that turn up the heat on an otherwise basic outfit (cue her hat in the photo below the orange sweater or the asymmetrical jacket in the last photo of this post). Brilliance.

I can’t wait to see what she busts out this coming Fashion Week!
