At the Armory: Phillip Lim

Thursday, September 16th, the last day of Fashion Week, I met Elle Muliarchyk, a photographer hired by Phillip Lim, and also a photojournalist for T Magazine - Check out her amazing work here. She looked great in purple! The set was so interesting and the space was immense. Sorry for the fuzzy pictures, but you get a nice sense of the set up. Phillip Lim's collection was gorgeous, of course.

Sparkle and Mauricio

I met the super sweet model Sparkle and also super nice Mauricio at the Loris Diran Presentation at the Audi Showroom, September 15th.

Photos of the Photographers

I had just finished the Diesel show and met a few photographers outside. They were headed to the Donna Karan show, so I tagged along. Outside the Donna Karan Show:
Photo 1: Scott Schuman (The Sartorialist). This was kind of surreal. I thought the photographer looked familiar. When I approached him for a photo, he kindly obliged, and said "That's fair". He asked me where I wanted to take it and I pointed toward a sunny spot. He pointed to the spot a few feet away. "How about here? There's some shade." "Are you going to take a good photo of me?", he asked. "I'll do my best!" I replied, and voila! I just snapped one, since he seemed like he was in a rush!
Photo 2: Paula Renee (No4Corners) and Brittani Sensabaugh (Brittsense.com)
Photo 3: H.B. Nam (StreetFSN) and Jason Jean (Citizen Couture)
Photo 4 & 5: Bill Cunningham of the NY Times. It was so cool to see him in action! He was super concentrated and immersed in taking photos, so I didn't want to bother him.

Backstage at Diesel

I met Young backstage at the Diesel Black Gold Show. I fell in love with her playful lego belt that she bought in Thailand. The necklace is from her wholesale store in Korea.

Fashion Week Pics

Fashion Week Newbie Here. This is my first season attending fashion shows. I admit I was a bit starstruck at times and just loved people watching! A little recap:

Day 1 (Thurs): Not FW related, but went to lunch in Chelsea with my friend. She spotted Blair from GG. How did I miss that?? Started with the Jen Kao Show at Milk Studios. Sexy and young. Saw Jen Kao backstage. Girl is Hot! Girl crush. Ended up at Asia Society for Tokyo Fashion Event. Tired at 10:30. Need to drink more coffee tomorrow!

Day 2 (Friday): Stopped by Nary Manivong in Chelsea. Saw Tommy Hilfiger, but thought he was Ralph Lauren (Fashion oops, did I mention that I'm new at this?). Ally Hilfiger was the stylist for the collection. My friend (Thanks Ayano!) invited me to go with her to Costello Tagliapietra at Milk Studios. My first time attending a show and I'm ecstatic. Standing room only. Realize I'm standing next to Lani from SugarRockCatwalk.com. Cool! Sophisticated, muted colors, great construction! Snapped a pic of Andre Leon Talley who was at show. Went to Midtown to Couture Fashion Show at Waldorf Astoria. Liking the German Designer Moro Moru - colorful and very Parisian. Loving the feathers and flowers in the hair. FNO is crazy! Patty Smyth. Spotted Karl Lagerfeld exiting a limo and entering into Chanel. People going wild and one girl at the door looks teary eyed!!!

Day 3 (Saturday): Vivienne Tam show at Lincoln Center, Serena Williams was backstage. Also saw Kendra Wilkinson with her entourage. Heard Wonder Girls was around, but missed them! Then off to Milk Studio for Altuzarra. Standing outside I see a young girl with a bob wearing glasses. I ask her for a photo and she politely agrees. Then I realize that she's Tavi!
