Highline inspiration

Every now and then, I feel totally out of inspiration, fashion and otherwise, I feel like I've just been doing the same things, listening to the same music, wearing the same clothes. The best way to get out of thus rut is to get out of the house and watch people for a couple of hours, preferably with a camera.

And one of the best places to do this in NYC is the highline, a perfect mixture of urban view with islands of nature, of locals and tourists, of young hip artists and office workers on lunch breaks, of elderly couples and young families, romantic dates and people looking for a moment of solitude in the crowd.

The highline looks totally different in different seasons, in moves from stark gray at winter, to all light green in spring to beautiful foliage tones in fall.  and in the last days of summer? it's beautifully colorful with flowers, changing leaves and greens. 

RED

Creating a strong graphic fashion statement, especially teamed with black and white.

Neutral and Gray

A subtle combination of gray, taupe, charcoal, brown, olive green, sage, caramel and coffee, for a muted but not at all boring outfit. 

Pink Accent 

For a sweet whimsical informal outfit! 

The Makeup Show

I was really excited to check out The Makeup Show, I mean, what's more exciting then meeting creative people, see new treands and colors, know before everyone what the cosmetic companies are launching and get to say thank you to some people who makes my everyday life so much more colorful and pretty.

Sadly, it wasn't all I expected it to be. It was very very crowded and was mostly about sals of products, rather then exploring new things, and it was too packed and loud to make friends or even have a conversation. 

Still, it was a rather colorful day...

Trend Alart

Floral pants, perfect spring outfit no matter what you wear it with (though I especially like it with the converse shoes).

Also, note to self, if you take photos in a moving subway, they will come out blurry.

Rina Zin

Beautiful and beautifully dressed young lady from Israel, at the Rina Zin booth at D&A show last month.

I really adore Rina Zin's style and her commitment to her own style language regardless to trends or fashion. 

The show before the show

Some people think the front row is more important, or at least entertaining, then the show. Other's get really upset by the amount of attention the front row gets and feels as if it's taking fashion from being a form of art to being a gossip ridden "Scene".

I'm somewhere in between, I don't really care about who was sitting in the front row but I want to know what they all wore.

Here are a couple of really nice examples from A'Detacher show last NYFW

Fun Day at D&A

Going to D&A is like a visit to a candy museum, you are looking at the coolest, newest most awesome things but can't wear or buy any of it! 

Designer & Agents is a small fashion trade show that take place right after NYFW. in which smaller companies, up and coming designers, showrooms and difusion lines can show their collection to potential buyers without having to go through the effort and considerable expense of having a fashion presentation \ runway show.

I especially like this event because in most of the booths you get to meet and talk to the actual designer, and I feel l seeing the person behind a brand always gives me a better understanding of what the collection is about.

Also, it's a really nice way to see how fashion forward people dress for a long and very tiering work day. 

what to wear to a fashion shoot?

The obvious choice would be to answer "Something fashionable", however that is mostly wrong, shoot days are often very long, working and running non-stop, eating on the go and trying to get twice as many shots done in about half the time. So the answer is, wear something comfortable, but if you manage to allso look stylish, you get extra points...
