New Wave circa now
A friend of mine who’s a cinephile said this girl reminded her of a young Annette Bening. This, I don’t know about…but the short hair, Ray Bans and blue suede shoes gives her look a distinctly ’80s vibe. But the New Wave ’80s ala Talking Heads etc as opposed to the more colorful pop aesthetic of the period…
Our oh-so-fashionable friends at #NYFW
What can I say? I love to see Marcus Mason and Kristin Prim during fashion week. They always turn it out and still keep it real –meaning they look as good whenever I see them and they’re not just dressing for the camera. I didn’t get the details of what they were wearing but if you want to know, I will!

Kate Lanphear outside the Standard
Okay, it’s true that she has the advantage of being the ultimate fashion insider so probably has access to all kinds of clothes mere mortals only dream about. And the fact that she’s statuesque ensures that she’s always wearing the clothes and not vice versa. But along with every other street style photographer I love to see her looks during NYFW and this one’s no exception.
Raybans in white?
Maybe they’re not Raybans. Maybe they just kind of sort of look like them…I don’t know. Honestly, I am too wrapped up getting ready for fashion week to say anything terribly clever about these two and their style. I just liked them. Kinda quirky, kinda cool. No?
Add gloves for a dash of panache
Nothing wrong with the little black dress, but sometimes it’s nice to see another color –even a neutral like grey. (which is actually one of my favorite colors) I’m also intrigued by the elbow length gloves. I think gloves are starting to make a comeback as a fashion statement. Thoughts???
Don’t tread on Niko
If you go out at night downtown in NYC chances are you know Niko. A dear friend of mine, he is always sharply dressed. (It probably doesn’t hurt he has the inside track at Moschino!) I once showed up at one of his events in a (god forbid) knee length down jacket that would not exactly be considered the height of fashion outside of Minnesota. I made one of those off-the-cuff comments like “I can’t believe I’m wearing this but it’s sooo cold out.” To which Niko replied, “You know how to avoid these kind of situations? Never buy anything that you wouldn’t want to be seen in!” Admittedly, a bit harsh, but something I’ve completely taken to heart. And it’s clear that he follows his own advice!
Detail shot of his Moschino vest and tie. I’ll admit I wasn’t always as familiar with this label as I am with American labels but not only is Moschino great design, there is a sly sense of humor always at work and apparent here as well!

Steal this style from the boys
Ever since I saw Rooney Mara kicking ass as Lisbeth Salander in the new Girl with the Dragon Tattoo movie recently, I’ve been inspired to play with the androgynous/edgy aesthetic of the character. The H&M line based off the costumes though is for the most part pretty lame. Boring sweats and ripped and “worn” t-shirts & denim that look like Forever 21′s idea of grunge. Looking at this photo of Chase and Joey of The Black Soft, I realized their look is more of what I had in mind. Picture the Lars Andersson sweater/leather pants/studded jacket look on the left with short black platform boots…perfection. So guys, I just might have to borrow from your closet! ;)
Shredded Style
A super-over-sized shredded tee by Raquel Allegra with glitterfest leggings? Call me a skeptic but if someone described this to me I would think: Heinous. But seeing it? An altogether different story. or narrative. or haiku. (haiku?!?) My point? It works. She looks sexy/edgy/cool and comfortable. Which I’m sure was her exact intention.

A study in style
Sometimes I like to really look at the why of an outfit. As in why it works –makes it stand out from other looks. At an initial glance Marcus is wearing jeans and a t-shirt…which is true. But what makes it unique is the layering of the tees/playing with sheerness, the delicate silver strands accentuated by the feather and the stacked bracelets. The red jeans and yellow belt add nice pops of color but it’s the look en toto that we appreciate.
Pretty in Pink
Effortless glamour in a mid-calf length dress can be hard to pull off –but she works it by not over accessorizing. Lovely!
