Fun at Fashion Week

Fashion week ended for me today and not a moment too soon.  I don't think my feet could make it one more day.  It's always a wonderful ride but also very exhausting.  I don't know how most editors go on to cover London, Milan, and Paris fashion weeks. I am taking the night off to recover and will be back tomorrow refreshed and ready to go. 

One person who never takes a day or night off is 80+ year old photographer Bill Cunningham.  He can outpace anyone at fashion week and still makes the fashion flock giddy with excitement when they see him.  He took my photo this morning as I exited a taxi on my way to the Michael Kors show.  Even if it never makes The New York Times, just knowing that for one split second, I was worthy of his lens made my day.  Hope his big, bright smile makes yours too.

Armor

"Fashion is the armor to survive

the reality of everyday life."

- Bill Cunningham

For those of you who live in New York, the documentary Bill Cunningham New York is now available On Demand on Time Warner Cable.  I highly recommend it.  The photo of Bill Cunningham chatting with Stan Herman outside the Ralph Lauren fashion show venue was taken by me.  Oh, and that other street style photographer is in it too.

Uptown Chic

APT with LSD on Vogue.com has featured their first uptown apartment.  I'm sure it only made the cut because it looks like a downtown apartment and is owned by a rock star and his former fashion designer wife. It reminded me a little of Marcelo Lucini's Buenos Aires flat I posted earlier today. It belongs to Laura and Diego Garcia and their baby Georgiana and is definitely worth a look.

P.S. I saw Bill Cunningham New York tonight and LOVED it!  The Film Forum has added three more showtimes daily but it runs only through March 29th.  Run don't walk to see it before it leaves.  The movie will definitely make you want to run up to Bill Cunningham and give him a hug the next time you see him.  And you know what, I just might!

Now Playing

Just a reminder that the fabulous documentary Bill Cunningham New York is now playing at the Film Forum in New York.  For those of you who don't know, Bill Cunningham is the originator of street style photography.  His On the Street feature in The New York Times has been running for what seems like forever.  Bill is one of those old school New York characters that make this city so exciting.  I can't wait to see this film and learn more about what makes Bill tick!
