So last night I was at Habana Outpost meeting my talented singer-friend Akua Taylor.
Time for another episode folks! And this time I bring you...MEN in TUTUS! The Thom Browne S/S 09 Show was all about men in tutus and jumpers. I personally loved it, can men please have more options then the shirt, tie and suit combo. Also plaids were going strong this season in his collection and the theme was tennis complete with real grass as the runway. Check out my backstage shots:
Next I stopped by Highbar for Russell Simmons Argyle Culture after party. Check out the shots I got of some fly party goers:
Orange a new color trend?
Life Walks a phenomenal dj and my bro
Until next time....Keep it gangsta!
Hello friends! I had the pleasure of working again with my friend Telfar backstage on his S/S 09 show titled Breathe. Telfar designs androgynous clothing and every season he out does himself. The S/S 09 collection was inspired by the Olympics and took place at the St. Patrick's Gym on Mulberry St. The collection consisted of a lot of breathable mesh fabrics and customized Converse Jack Percell sneakers. The runway was made of turf! Just check this season's collection out for yourself:
Yes the tennis balls are the heels on this customized sneaker
P.S. Telfar and I were homecoming dates back in the days when I had a relaxer:
Next I went to work backstage at Luca Luca's S/S 09 Show in the Promenade tent. They took all of the dressers passes for the celebrities and such that were backstage. But I got a t-shirt:
Oh yeah and backstage was pandemonium! The photographers and camera men were so aggressive they literally almost knocked over the racks (and me) trying to photograph Serena Williams and Perrey Reeves (HBOs Entourage). The collection was beautiful lots of silk and organza fabrics, gowns with beautiful cut-out details, sheer blouses, silk jumpers, trousers and skirts with waistlines that had a stair-step effect. the color palette was soft and feminine, white, tan, grey with touches of coral and blue. I loved the collection and didn't see a piece that I wouldn't wear. Later today I will be working on Thom Browne. So ecstatic to be working on Thom Browne but it will be a challenge tying perfect half-windsor knots LOL.
To quote Ice Cube, "Today was a good day." LOL but seriously it was. I went to the city today in hopes of checking the BK Royalty fashion show at the Bryant Park Hotel but for some reason it wasn't there (?). I mean the hotel was there not the fashion show. I didn't sweat it though because it gave me an excuse to hang out by the tents and shoot the cool election inspired graphics.
So I'm about to leave when a guy comes up to me and asks if he can shoot me. "Okay." "It's for facehunter, for the New York Times." "OKAY!" I was shot today by Yvan the legendary Facehunter from London. The pic will be up tomorrow and you know I'm gonna post it up here! After my intense shoot with Yvan (yes there's a reason why all his pics come out perfect). I run into the fashion giant Andre Leon Tally and muster "Hey Mr. Tally!" I am such a nerd, bumbling, couldn't even get my camera out to get a quick picture. Then I am stopped again by a photographer from Vogue.fr to take pics. I felt pretty accomplished by this time so I decided to head back to Brooklyn to partake in some events I planned on attending.
Next I stopped by Harriet's Alter Ego on Flatbush Ave and 7th in Brooklyn.
I checked out Rico Harris of Orignial RAH. He's a textile designer who does a lot of Batik hand dyed originals. Check him and his work out:
Check out the fashionable offspring of Harriet's Alter Ego...they got me for my necklaces LOL.
Then I slid over to the Urban Arts Market on Myrtle Ave and Grand Ave. Sounds were by the Soul Summit Djs and vendors were some of BK's Finest. I ran into my boy Ekene, a dope digital designer doing his thing in Europe.
Randomly saw Ta$isSoArnold
Hadn't seen him since I met him at Magic '06
Got some good accessory flicks
Then I went BACK to Harriet's for the Stylized Sundays event, hosted by StuffFlyPeopleLike.com and Omo Writes.
Sounds by the Ahficionados.
Akeema one of the designers/ co-owner of Harriet's Alter Ego
He's simply awesome
A visual merchandiser at heart I just love creative display ideas
Who you calling a blogger? Myself, the guys from StuffFlyPeopleLike.com and Samantha aka Omo Writes
I can't complain this was one great day. I made some new connects, reconnected with people, laughed, danced, got some good press and ended my night with a quesadilla and some guac. Life is good.
P.S. I promise I will rotate the pics later I am so tired and my photobucket account is being annoying, please bear with me.
