When you live all the way across the world like I do now, New York Fashion Week can whizz right by without you even noticing. Yes, plus a real (all-consuming) job doesn’t help.
So as I am catching up on all the highlights from NYFW today (yes for the first time!), I am really loving the polished, flowy silhouettes of the Fall 2011 collections. And if you are going to invest in only one fall item, definitely get a parka.
The Man Behind My Favourite “Digital Park Bench” - The Satorialist
To me, Scott Schuman has always been just a name I associate with one of my favourite fashion blogs, The Satorialist. It has never occurred to me to find out what he looks like (apart from his profile photo on his blog), much less what he sounds like. So this documentary with him in action really gives me a whole new dimension to who he is and. And to see how fashion blogging that looks so effortless is actually really hard work.
Besides the amazing street fashion photos, Scott Schuman also shoots videos forStyle.com.
p.s. “Digital park bench” is such a great description for the internet. I am so stealing it. :)
This latest AW2010 collection by Kate Moss for Topshop will sadly also be her last. After 14 collections, it does feel like the collection has passed its peak and it is time the style icon moves on to bigger and better things. She even looks like the big sister to the other girls in the video. It’s definitely time to move on….
One more day before you can view the full video on the Prada website, but here’s a sneak preview of the Fantasy Motionbook of their A/W2010. Ingenious marriage of art and fashion showcasing talents like Oma, Alexander Reichert, and Fausto Fantinuoli. Splendido!!
I can’t wait for the full video…. but wait, isn’t it a bit late to be launching a video for AW2010?!
Last week, Gareth Pugh surprised his attendees for his Spring 2011 show, by showing an 11-minute video instead of a runway show.
There were lots of buzz in fashion news asking if this would be the way of the future. Well, if you ask me, that will be the inevitable eventuality given what we see happening in technology.
Call me old-school, but I think there’s something quite special seeing actual living and breathing beings showcasing these talents pieces of art live. And it is just not the same seeing a perfectly crafted piece of film like Gareth Pugh’s video….
With the excitement of New York Fashion Week which has come and gone in a blur, Fashion’s Night Out feels like such a distant memory… However, cutting and watching the footage all over again quickly brought back the buzz from the night. Street party meets shopping extravaganza!
This being my first ever experience, I started with a COMPLETELY, UTTERLY unrealistic list:
If like me, you can only watch New York Fashion Week vicariously through blogs and live streaming shows, here’s a video I really like from the New York Times. It really captures the backstage mood and action of the Nicholas K show, the FIRST opening show at the brand new location at Lincoln Center! Imagine the pressure and expectations!!
I am still going to work on getting access to a show, ANY show! And for now I am happy to be attending the Tweetup at the American Express Skybox with Mickey Boardman of PaperMag.
When I saw this interactive fashion editorial featuring Eniko, I was thinking to myself…
THE FUTURE HAS ARRIVED!!!
It’s crazy cool how you can make your own fashion video, from picking your own track, choosing the video clips, recording the video and sending it to your friends, with just a few clicks on your keyboard. Something that is completely unfathomable just mere six months ago….
One thing I LOVE about New York City is you ever so often find the best fashion finds when you least expect it. You will be heading to lunch with a girlfriend and you chance upon an amazing sample sale, find the most incredible trinket shop in the most unlikely neighborhood, or pick up designer items for a song at a flea market. And Hester Street Fair is definitely one of those places where you are likely to stumble across these surprising gems, especially during their Stylist Weekend Event, where fashion insiders clear out their closets and put great fashion items at bargain prices. The treasures I found definitely made my day.
Even if you don’t pick up anything, the fair is still a great place to while away a lazy Summer afternoon.
And if you are one who need more fashion action, here’s a video on some more great ideas.
I started this vlog as a personal project to combine my 2 passions: film and fashion. Actually make that 3 to include digital media, my new-found passion. With years of experience in TV commercial production where projects involve huge teams of production crew, I find vlogging an exciting space where I can produce everything myself, the entire production team rolled into my size 2 (size 4 on a fat day) body.
Plus I am not a fan of these fashion haul videos out there, and think surely I can offer something better that people would want to watch. Well, I may be completely wrong… so we'll see.
