The Sartorialist Does NYFW
Man-with-a-camera Scott Schuman, aka The Sartorialist, shot a multitude of his famous candids this past Fashion Week in New York City. Tribal prints, plaids, sequins and menswears were all part of what his camera clicks captured this season as the important people of the hour (or should we say week) made their way in, out of, and around the tents.
Being a fly on the wall of fashion never looked so good.
Coney Island Revisited
Downtown NYC based label Sophomore NYC released a video lookbook for their Spring/Summer 2010 collection shot on the boardwalk at Coney Island. It’s a great place to capture the breezy fluidity of the brand’s thin tees and basic designs that always seem perfect for summer on the beach. The lookbook features fashion luminaries like former Missbehave Fashion Editor (and writer) Lesley Arfin and model Kim Matulova, as well as celebs like lead singer of The Virgins Donald Cummings and actor Leo Fitzpatrick. Shot by Cass Bird, I really like that the lookbook doesn’t emphasize the fabulosity of either the clothes or the cast. Instead, it captures exactly what it was meant to– a group of fun, real young people reminiscing on the boardwalk.

Lohan for Muse Mag
Troubled starlet Lindsay Lohan recently did a shoot for the Italian based Muse Magazine. The team at Muse was lucky enough to get esteemed director Yu Tsai to shoot a behind the scenes video of the photoshoot, which also started Ford Model Petey Wright and Madonna dancer Sofia Boutella.
Our response to Lohan’s latest move?
We’re blushing…
Strong Shoulders
Karen O of the New York based art-rock band the Yeah Yeah Yeahs was spotted recently wearing these amazing gold crafted shoulder pads designed by jewelery maven Bijules. The “Golden Shoulderblades” are a beautiful editorial worthy piece, decked with regal draping. Strong shoulders are a hit for Fall 2010, and Bijules is making a bold statement of exploration with these. Shoulder pads on the outside of a garment, as opposed the inside, are regal and imply a sense of strength that womens’ accessories rarely capture.
They would probably look great as an extra compliment to your favorite Eighteenth tee, don’tcha think?
Event this Thursday
Come by the Jack Hanley Gallery / Thursday, 12/10 / 8pm / 136 Watts Street, Tribeca / Dance Performance / Music / Clothing Swap (bring a garment to trade)
It’s in conjunction with Worn Relics, which is an website where you can archive/post your favorite piece of clothing and share why it is. Ruby Hoette is the mastermind behind Worn Relics, which is based on the idea that clothing is a relic, something treasured for its past associations. It is really interesting to see why certain garments are worn and valued.
