10 Crosby

I'm still in the middle of editing my photos from fashion week and headed to a meeting with my book designers.  Until I get some some new posts up, I'm leaving you with this look at Derek Lam's fall fashions for his line 10 Crosby. The look book was shot in an apartment and is so much more interesting than one shot against a plain white wall. I'm already loving the coats and vests and will putting them on my fall shopping list...right along side a million other things I saw this week.  I better get back to work so I can afford them. Later skaters. 

Backstage & Before Derek Lam Fall 2012

The best part of going backstage before the Fall 2012 Derek Lam fashion show is that you can see the clothes and accessories up close.  The models walk so fast during the runway shows that it's easy to miss the shoes and bag not to mention the jewelry.  I also love to see the fabrics and patterns while they are standing still.  I didn't get to talk to Derek this time but I did overhear him mention that Chinatown is a favorite movie.  If you haven't seen it, I highly recommend it for the chic period costumes and Faye Dunaway.

Another fun aspect to this particular show were the male models backstage.  At first we all thought they might be walking but it turned out they were just very chic ushers who directed guests to their seats.  Speaking of seats, I had a great front row seat and was able to get some great runway shots that I'll post later.  But now I'm off to another show.  Somebody has to do it. 

Love that Derek Lam is also an Aries and uses ram hardware on his handbags.
