create something beautiful

Last night I attended the presentation of Geren Ford’s Spring 2009 collection for New York Fashion Week, covering model Laura (aka. Texas) backstage for all of her prep and then briefly checking out the actual presentation before dashing out. An edited batch of the photos will be posted on New York Fashion Week, covering model Laura (aka. Texas) backstage for all of her prep and then briefly checking out the actual presentation before dashing out. An edited batch of the photos will be posted on NYLONmag.com sometime today, but be sure to check out the full un-edited set on my flickr account for lots of pretty photos like these:

Yet another, NYLON gallery. I didn’t take the photos, but I edited them and made this graphic for the website.

I also made this super simple graphic for a gallery of images (that I also didn’t take) from model Agyness Deyn’s birthday party.

Jenni Kayne was quite possibly my favorite show that I attended fashion week - in the sense that I would most want to wear the clothes I saw there. It was a great way to end the week.

The show was a presentation, ie. not a runway show. The models are dressed up and arranged how the designer chooses and the press and whoever else is invited comes and stares at them and the living mannequins creep you out by staring deep into your soul but not moving unless told to by a higher up or a camera-wielder.

I made this graphic for NYLONmag.com and some of the images are up on the website. Flickr album of all, unedited images to come soon. For now, click the graphic to see the NYLON gallery.

Some of the photos I took at Thakoon’s Fall 2008 collection runway show are up on Thakoon’s Fall 2008 collection runway show are up on NYLON magazine’s website now. You can check out their gallery by clicking the image below or check out the full, unedited album on flickr.

My current designer crush is now, officially, Thakoon. He’s an American fashion designer, born in Thailand, but moved to the states at 11. Starting with a Business degree from Boston University, he came to New York, worked as a fashion writer and finally entered Parsons School of Design. Since then, he’s blown up. His Fall 2008 collection eeks of military, with the jackets and wool, with splashes of punchy color, patterns, and plaid. Love.

I started out backstage while the models were getting their hair and makeup done and amidst photographers, videographers, journalists, and the like, Anna Wintour was talking (and smiling) to Thakoon himself.
