AND SO THE EDITING BEGINS;

So fashion week is finally coming to a close in the big apple, and all the editors are now flocking away to the UK for the start of London fashion week, followed by Milan & Paris. I cant wait to see the photos from those shows, since I wont be in attendance. I'll be glued to Style.com for runway reports. I've got a lot of photos to edit from the past week. So it may be an overkill of shows, street style, and final walk through videos! But hey what can I say! Its all in the sake of..

F A S H I O N

First things first..At the beginning of the week I went to the Staerk presentation held at Milk Studios. It was a good start of the week for me. It was a very chic and classy collections! Lots of beautiful silhouettes and the hair and makeup were done to a tee. Here are some photos from the show.

Overview of the models standing

This middle look reminds me of a party dress from the late 20's and really comes to life with the hair and makeup. The draping is incredible and that neckline would drive any fashion freak wild.

Everyone of these looks are wearable. Its nice when designers put more emphasis and thought into their collections and make it simple and chic. I'm tired of 75 look collections with the same idea pushed down the runway 3 times.

Favorite look: far left, that dress is amazing! It fits together like a puzzle piece!

Favorite look: to the right, back of dress.

It was such a beautiful collection. My favorite look was the 1st one. It was the asymmetrical dress cut right down the middle, half black and half white. It reminded me of a ying/yang symbol. I loved it so much. I need something like that for this season. I want to create a whole look like this. The use of textures were amazing. I loved the crocodile embossed oversized leather tote. OFFICIALLY DYING.

PETER JENSON:

These were some of my favorite looks I photographed from the show. Thanks to my dear friend Susie G, I got to sit front row. It was a lovely collection and the color palette attracted my eyes immediately.

This maxi dress is uber chic. I think what did it for me was the waist detail. It's a little cinched so you can have a better idea of the model's figure! 

These colors all go to well so perfectly. I'm gonna turn my wardrobe in to a rainbow. I forgot how much I loved color, and was reminded very quickly after seeing this!

I loved this kelly green hoop skirt. It was so pretty and delicate in person!

This was one of my definite favorites from all the looks! I love the black sheer caftan with the bright wedges. The contrast goes together so well.

A detail shot of the wedges! These shoes were made for walkin'!

PAMELA LOVE:

I was so happy to be able to attend the Pamela Love presentation. She has always been one of my favorite and most respected jewelry designers. She has a certain eye for beautiful pieces and her aesthetic really carries through out her entire show. The models were all waifs but so pretty! There was an underlining tribal feel when you entered the gallery! These are the photos I took there:

These rings are seriously amazing. I want them NOW.

She has such a peculiar eye for detail! I love those cuffs and the mix of textures!

I had the courtesy of meeting Pamela Love at the end of the presentation. She is such a sweetheart and really passionate about her role in the jewelry industry and the products she creates. It was so refreshing to meet her! Plus the fact that she's gorgeous! And I loved her style! :)

I'll be posting more photos as I edit them! I've gotta take a quick breather and get ready for my interview with StyleLikeU. They're coming to where i'm staying in the city to take photos of whats in my suitcase and some of the pieces I brought to NYC. I'll be talking about my personal style, and they'll be shooting me in several outfits! I'm super excited for the opportunity and can't wait for the final result! I'll post it once I receive the finished product!

SHOWS, SHOWS, & MORE SHOWS

So I've been in NYC for 5 days, and i've done more running around then I think I'd do in 50 days! It's been such an amazing experience coming to New York for fashion week. Like I previously said, this is the first time i've had the chance to visit for the fashion week here. Usually i'm stuck just trying to make do with what is left of LA fashion week. There is plenty of talent there, but it's nothing like NEW YAAAAWK.

Here are some highlights of the shows i've loved so far at Lincoln Center:

Alexander Wang

A. Wang has always been one of my favorite designers. He has a magical way of always making women seem strong and statuesque, but in a beautiful kind of way.  I wish I had a detail shot of the shoes! They're Timbaland-esque heeled boots. Kind of reminds me of the days of Beyonce circa 2003. I love the ending photo where all of the models walk out together. They look like a fashion mob. I wouldn't screw with a bitchin' crowd like that walking down an alley.

EDUN

The masculinity of the tailored suit on a woman is incredible. It all started with my icon Bianca Jagger way back in the day, and it's not stopping now.

Who doesn't love a dark line for S/S 2011? I'm loving the fact of using black in the spring collections. I've always been a fan of the color black, and it takes over half of my closet. So I was expecting it to be chic in the summer one of these days! 

PREEN

WORDS CANT EXPLAIN PREEN. 

SO BEAUTIFUL.

I was actually supposed to attend the Preen show but ended up sleeping in, due to a long day the evening before between events, shows, and parties. I was trying to do as much as possible while I was here and take as many photos as possible for my blog. I've been trying to cover many of the shows while i've been here. There is so much going on, and i'm so happy to be a part of it. 

MARC JACOBS

The hair and makeup kind of remind me of a French porcelain prostitute in haute couture, but hey..who's judging? None the less, the collection was more then amazing. So beautiful. From the dresses, to the hats, to the accessories, to the pants. He really out did himself this year. I was a little weary of where his collections were going after that crazy Mary Poppins-esque season. But he's back in full throttle and i'm such a fan.

I'll add more to this later, i'm off to cover a few more shows at Milk Studios and do the closing event of the eco friendly fashion week at Metropolitan Pavillion.
