Shooting street fashion is loads of fun and I wish I had dedicated more time to it this year. Nonetheless here are a few snaps from the fashion forward and fashion backward. Once again, we will let you decide what trends you love and hate.
On the scene at Lincoln Center
Inside MBFW
The Anna Wintour mask-hmmm?
I will end my fashion week adventures with a great sign I saw in the subway headed home….ha ha..makes me smile!
My third and final day at NY Fashion Week consisted of 2 big shows…Tracy Reese and Diane Von Furstenberg. I always love a Diane show, it always brings out a variety of interesting people.
And so…back to regular life…back to trips to the park and drinking juicy juice….and just 6 months to convince one (or more) sisters to come for September Fashion Week!!
Beautiful people leaving Tracy Reese:
TV Personality Louise Roe-I just had to show her cute little outfit!
Kate Mara: So I have to admit, I had no idea who this “Kate” was and had to google her once I got home. Interestingly she is from Bedford, NY–just 30 mins away from where we live. Her Great grandfather was the founder of the NY Giants, which explains why people were commenting to her about the Giants winning the superbowl. Also…her sister is much talked about Rooney Mara-of Dragon Tattoo, who knew!?
Canadian Actress Shenae Grimes (of 90210)…she had fans (even crying fans?!) waiting for her. Weird, no?
Nikki Reed…again
Model Selita Ebanks and boyfriend Terrence J (host of BET’s 106+Park). Cutest couple!!!
Lovely to see the beautiful socialite Tinsley Mortimer again-heading into Custo Barcelona.
Random sighting…Sandra Bernhart
Former SuperModel Beverly Johnson.
More beautiful people attending the Diane Von Furstenberg Show.
Editor in Chief of American Vogue, Anna Wintour.
The beautiful Barbara Walters-she is seriously so rad…I can’t even explain!
Actress Molly Sims, rockin the pregnant glow!
Oscar DeLaRenta
Diane Sawyer
Making grey hair look good, Bravo’s Andy Cohen
Designer/stylist Rachel Zoe and her husband TV personality Rodger Berman. Their baby is the same age as Dre, so Rodger and I had a little chat about our dear sweet babies…how they are crawling and getting into absolutely everything! Yes, hoping for a playdate soon;)
Editor of Marie Claire Joanna Coles, recently seen on Project Runway All Stars as the designer’s mentor.
Marie Claire Fashion Director and Project Runway judge, Nina Garcia.
The beautiful Coco Rocha…what show didn’t she attend!?
Fashion Blogger Bryan Boy.
And last of all, one of my favorite fashion bloggers (and total gentleman) Karl-Edwin Guerre. This guy is one cool cat.
Backstage at Porter Grey!!!
For those of you unfamiliar with this line, Porter Grey is an American contemporary sportswear line, founded and run by sisters Kristen and Alexandra O’Neill.
I love this photo…I think that being backstage is so glamorous! The models, the clothes, the designers, celebs etc. But while that is all true…some parts are simply not so fun. It’s cold. It’s boring as you wait for the next look to get ready. The reporters and photographers are always bumping into each other or getting into each others shot. It’s very small with a hundred people all crowding in. And everyone thinks THEIR job is the most important one of all…PR, security, papps, models etc… ANYWAYS….I love the reality of this picture….two cold and uncomfortable, bored models amongst all the chaos.
The hair team was led by Rebecca Naftzger for Cutler. “She blow-dried the models’ hair with a round brush and curled it with a one-and-a-half-inch curling iron while leaving out the ends. It created this big subtle wave, which complemented the clothes perfectly.”
Hairstylists lead by Rebecca Naftzger
Jose Rivera,the makeup artist leading the Sephora PRO Beauty team emphasized clean skin; wind-blown cheeks to indicate an outdoorsy, ready-to-face-the-elements strength; a rich and saturated black lash line and an understated and deconstructed lip look with scattered golden shimmer.
A few looks from the show
What a fantastic way to start my day-The Ruffian fashion show! Brian Wolk and Claude Morais are the designers behind Ruffian. Their press notes stated they were inspired by “viewing bronze sculptures of Henry Moore set against the backdrop of English estates.” You can easily see the english influence-very modest and sophisticated. I am personally in love with these hats…GORGous!
See the video below for the shows opening. Its my favorite part of a fashion show as it sets the tone for the whole show! As luck would have it…I got seats in the second row (!!!) and am seated right behind photographer Douglas Friedman, Actress Amanda Setton and Lorenzo Martone (Marc Jacobs ex).
A few looks from the show.
Borsalino hats for Ruffian
Designers Brian Wolk and Claude Morais
Amanda Setton from Gossip Girl
Today started out FANTASTIC! I went to the Ruffian Fashion Show and backstage to Porter Grey-will post pictures soon! Spent most of the day with my Fashion Week Family and saw plenty of fashion royalty…here are some snaps from my day…..
Kellen Lutz (of Twilight) leaving Lacoste. This guy is sooo nice I always think he must have some Canadian roots! Seriously one of the nicest male celebrities I have ever met.
Ladies leaving the Jill Stuart Show
Nicki Reed
Always a smile on Kelly Bensimon of Real Housewives of New York
Olivia Palermo-Love her or hate her…this girl has amazing style and is simply gorgeous!
Headed downtown to the Prabal Gurung fashion show.
One of the first people I see, Bill Cunningham! Bill basically started the street fashion photography movement. He is a rockstar in my eyes.
Joe Zee, another rad guy. I mean, what 44-year-old can pull off this look besides him!? Love it!
Hal Rubenstein, Fashion Director of InStyle. I like this quote from his biography on The Huffington Post, “Hal was born in New York and has never seen any reason to live anywhere else.” How true!
Derek Blasberg (Editor at large of Harper’s Bazaar) interviewing Elettra Wiedemann (model and daughter of Isabella Rossellini)
Ken Downing, Fashion Director at Neiman Marcus.
Some of the more ‘colorful crowd’
Mickey Boardman + Kim Hastreiter of Paper Magazine
Lynn Yaeger, Vogue contributor.
Socialite, Michelle Harper
And last of all another fabulous Canadian, Stylist Brad Goreski!
Next up was the VPL fashion show! Pictures are poor, as the place was packed and we arrived late. After a few unsuccessful snaps, I put my camera away and simply enjoyed the show!
Backstage with the designer, Victoria Barlett.
Headed back to Lincoln Center to see the star-studded Herve Leger by Max Azria letting out.
Our beautiful Canadian Coco Rocha
Kristin Chenoweth-always so sweet!
One of my favorite pictures of the weekend….fighting with the papps to get to Camila Alves (Brazilian model).
Torrey Devito of Pretty Little Liars and Vampire Diaries.
DJ Harley Viera Newton (doesn’t she just have the coolest name!?)
One of my favorite fashion bloggers, Hanneli.
Another one of my favorite shots of the weekend. Poppy Montgomery (actress on Unforgettable)…who was going into her FIRST fashion show ever. What a great first show!
Little superstar Nina Dobrev (Raised in Canada!) of The Vampire Diaries.
And another cool cool man, Designer Max Azria. He must be one of the hardest working people in fashion, with 6 clothing collections!!!…not to mention 6 children!!! Where does he find the time and energy…!?
