my nyfw: an interview with nina

September 18, 2012 2 Comments

as i mentioned in a few previous posts, this fashion week i was hosting a series of videos for the modcloth blog. i’ve already shared my interviews with lauren moffatt and rachel antonoff, but today i wanted to share my latest video with nina of family affairs. we stopped by her studio on a particularly hot and muggy day to get a look at the spring 2013 collection. i’m really excited about this collection and can’t wait to get my hands on a few of these pieces!

my nyfw: rachel antonoff spring 2013 presentation

September 13, 2012 13 Comments

another one of my favorite presentations this season was the rachel antonoff spring 2013 collection inspired by the eames film powers of ten. if you’ve never seen it before, it’s definitely worth clicking the link! the video presents an aerial view of the earth magnified 10 times every 10 seconds, and the theme was presented throughout. the nail art depicted teeny tiny aerial views of gardens, just as seen in the beautiful silk prints presented within a literal garden maze setting. the girls wore simple geometric eyeliner with pale purple stained lips as if she may have snuck off into the bushes at the country club to sneak a glass of wine or make out with a boy. the story was fun, the presentation was top notch, and it was a pleasure to be able to attend!

these photos were shot by me, many of which were originally posted on the modcloth blog.

my nyfw: lauren moffatt spring 2013 presentation

September 11, 2012 16 Comments

after last season’s fall 2012 presentation in an old abandoned schoolhouse, i was eagerly anticipating the new lauren moffatt spring 2013 collection. this season, lauren was inspired by the prim and proper lawn tennis outfits of the 1960s and the bold colors of a neighborhood public pool. the result was a bright and colorful collection that was a little bit buttoned-up with a perfect undone edge.

i met up with lauren’s team backstage to record a fun little video and snap a few photos all of which was originally published on the modcloth blog. enjoy!

my nyfw: family affairs spring 2013 preview

September 10, 2012 19 Comments

one of my favorite fashion week traditions is getting the chance to visit with nina of family affairs. for the past few years, each season, i stop in with rebecca of the clothes horse to eat sweet treats, and coo over her latest designs. for spring, nina hand-illustrated all of the prints on clean white silk and cotton fabrics for a very light and whimsical effect. i was particularly smitten with the sixties-inspired silhouettes. not only that, but she’s also introduced a collection of housewares for the first time! i only snapped a few photos, but i promise to share the full look book once it’s ready!

my nyfw: samantha pleet spring 2013 presentation

September 7, 2012 10 Comments

on wednesday evening, i had the opportunity to attend the samantha pleet spring 2013 collection. it was shown at the wolverine store in soho in honor of her recent shoe collaboration with the brand. the collection was inspired by the ancient societies of the fertile crescent and the 19th century explorers that rediscovered them. you an certainly see the historical references in the intricately painted silk prints alongside that adorable three-piece shorts suit!

the lady on the left is samantha pleet herself. i love how she matches her model!

my nyfw: whit spring 2013 presentation

September 6, 2012 6 Comments

one designer that i’ve really enjoyed following the past couple of years is whitney pozgay. she started her career as an accessories and apparel designer at kate spade before moving on to steven alan and eventually starting whit in 2010. last season, she showcased some serious space age styles, and for her spring 2013 presentation, she brought a major dose of tropical paradise with campy prints, clean stripes, and simple silhouettes. added bonus? adorable straw hats by yestadt millinery and cute shoes by marais usa. a trio of favorites that always keep me coming back for more.

my nyfw: modcloth video series

September 6, 2012 8 Comments

in my last post, i mentioned working on a little video project. i’m actually here in new york hosting a series of videos for my work, and the above is the first of many to come. i’m not exactly experienced as a video host, but i have a really awesome little team who have been nothing but sweet and supportive, so i’m really excited to continue filming.

one of my favorite details of the series is the bob barker price is right microphone which our videographer tirelessly searched for on ebay for months. apparently they’re pretty rare because they were originally custom-made for bob barker so he could show off his fancy suits on the show. so it’s all the more fitting that we found one for our silly fashion videos.

my nyfw: nyc bound

September 4, 2012 15 Comments

i’m currently sitting in the sfo airport watching planes that i will not board. today marks the first day of my trip to nyc, but as you can see, things have already gotten to a shaky start. i missed my flight even though i was in line 50 minutes prior to departure (long story). and i got the full treatment complete with grumpy airport clerks and crying babies. but i’m certainly not complaining. i’m now sitting in a quiet corner gazing out the window and enjoying a warm cup of coffee hoping that a few people on this next flight will have a similar fate as me, so i’ll be able to snag their seats and make it to nyc by tonight. fingers crossed!

loeffler randall girls on bikes

August 23, 2012 19 Comments

yesterday i caught a glimpse of this cute video by loeffler randall dedicated to their new rider bag. i love the classic satchel style, perfectly suited for fall. throw on a few strategically placed straps, and it’s also perfectly suited for fastening to your handlebars. i’d like this chic attachÁ© regardless, but those little details make all the difference when you’re getting ready to hop on your bike for a quick ride around town.
