Was excited to first catch Scott Shuman passing by unnoticed and waiting in the hallway...for Garance? Then I caught sight of her greeting some friends. All before the DVF show.
New York Fashion Week: SEEN: Rachel Zoe
I died when I caught sight of Rachel Zoe coming out of the DVF Show with Rodger Berman and the rest of their crew. Bananas. 
New York Fashion Week: SEEN: Brad Goreski
Before and after the DVF show, the tent "lobby" filled up with lots of familiar faces.
The best was this moment, when I called out, "BRAD!" to Brad Goreski who was in front of me, making him turn around and smile.
Don't you just love his trench and studded clutch?
New York Fashion Week: SEEN: Red
There sure was a lot of red below the belt at NYFW. Remember when we first saw it?
New York Fashion Week: SEEN: Man Repeller
I spotted Leandra Medine, aka The Man Repeller just as she was leaving the DVF show. She's so sweet and I want her jeans.
New York Fashion Week: SEEN: Bill Cunningham
It made my NYF WEEK when I got to exchange a few words with Bill Cunningham! I spotted him in the tent and scurried after him to get a shot, then tapped him on the arm and told him what a huge fan of his I was. He said,
"Are you having a good time shooting?"
I nodded vigorously and he smiled and said,
"Just keep on shooting."
Good advice. If you haven't seen it yet, the film.
New York Fashion Week: Tracy Reese
I was invited to shoot the Tracy Reese show at New York Fashion Week and it was an incredible adrenaline rush!
The pit was packed. And although most of the photographers were friendly, there were some that could have been nicer.
One photographer was standing on his box which was on it's side. Hardcore. In fact, at one point I was even given a boost so that I could shoot from above. I was literally sitting on top of the backdrop at NYFW, y'all. Of course I was asked to come down, even though some of the photographers cheered me on and were telling me to hang on to the lighting rigs!
It was an awesome experience and not to mention such a fantastic show! Brightly coloured and lively! Orange and golds, and combinations to die for. Bowler hats, anyone? I'll take two.
Tracy Reese is the best. Thank you for the opportunity to capture your collection!
New York Fashion Week: SEEN
There was more cobalt, fur and floppy hats at the Lincoln Center than it's ever seen before.
Here, some more.
New York Fashion Week: SEEN: Christina K. Pierce
Look who I ran into in the tent at NYFW?
Christina from Christina K.Pierce Boutique in Boston. Looking stunning in a deep green dress from Lily and Migs Fall 2012 and kickin' it in sparkly Argentinian Paruolo heels.

New York Fashion Week: The Tent
The Mecedes Benz Fashion Week tent at the Lincoln Center is a fairly iconic venue for a lot of the shows that take place during Fashion Week in NYC. Here, a glimpse into the "tent".
New York Fashion Week: Emilio Cavallini
We all have a pair of Emilio Cavallini's in our hosiery drawers, don't we?
Emilio Cavallini's box show was a sensual display of sexy leg and body wear presented with a screening of a short film, "Risqué Business at the Florence Excelsior Hotel". Both presentations of the show had the models donning intricate and dramatic hosiery with little or no added clothing. In exquistely crafted black lace, fishnet, stripes and animal prints, the line is a salute to the 1950s pin-ups, giving women a dramatic new way to show off their gams.
Risky business, indeed.
New York Fashion Week: SEEN: Joy + Caitlin
Other fun sightings, lots of prints via Joy Adaeze (she's so funky cool)! And studs via Caitlin who was wearing Dozani.
New York Fashion Week: SEEN: Clarence de Vil
DIY designer extraordinaire, and wearing a jacket created by post-its!
New York Fashion Week: Bibhu Mohapatra
I was honoured to be invited to attend my first New York Fashion Week and even more excited to cover some of my favourite fashion designers!
One being Bibhu Mohapatra, who we saw in Boston not too long ago. Attending his Fall 2012 show was a major highlight for me and his collection inspired by 20th century opera was absolutely breathtaking. There was an incredible display of sumptuous fabrics, sculptural fur, and delightful pops of red from within muted ivories, all immecably crafted. The models all wore custom created Zoya nail polish, red on the left hand and nude on the right, as an ode to Bibhu's mother who used to wear red on her left hand and went sans polish on the right, as it's customary to eat with the right hand. The positive energy backstage was palpable as everyone, including me, wanted to congratulate the designer on the success of his first NYFW runway show.
Happy Friday!
Are you Team Patriots or Team Giants? Or are you looking forward to Madonna's performance during the half-time show? Or excited to watch the commercials, like the Ferris Bueller one that went viral in 60 seconds.
Or perhaps you'd rather be basking in the sun, like this woman in Paris.
Either way, I hope you have a wonderul weekend!
