Hanaa ben Abdesslem off duty

Hanaa is the new successful model, so if you want to imitate her style, you have to wear

1) a loose black tee-shirt, like the Burnout-jersey T-shirt by rag & bone JEAN :






or the Loose-fit cotton-jersey T-shirt by James Perse :






2) black skinny leather pants - these Stretch-leather skinny pants by Gucci :






or these Stretch-leather skinny pants by Yves Saint Laurent :







3) the highlight of your outfit would be the golden touch of the jacket ; we chose this Striped python jacket
from the Gucci spring summer 2012 runway collection (now on sale) :





4) open-toe ankle boots (!) ; we only found peep-toe ones, like the black and camel Calf hair and leather peep-toe ankle boots by Chloé :





or the Suede wedge ankle boots by DKNY :






or even the Elsa suede cutout open-toe ankle boots by Diane von Furstenberg, which are now on sale :






5) and a large black bowling bag, like the Cabas Chyc Large leather tote by Yves Saint Laurent :




(She's carrying a Givenchy one.)

All these items are to shop at Net-a-porter.
