WU / who?

Three seasons ago, a few of us went to the Jason Wu show wanting to see the new kid with a lot of buzz. Actually, I was shooting for Bumble and bumble and had to be there - but there was buzz and I was genuinely curious.

Fast forward to January and Michelle Obama is wearing one of his pieces on Inauguration Day. Skip another month and Jason Wu is backstage at his Fall 09 show and a whole lot of extra people are watching. They were not disappointed. Here's a few pics below of the fun backstage as the beautiful collection unfolded on the runway. When you see these pieces in stores [6mos from now], remember to take a look at the prints!

WHEN good photographers / go bad

"Greg," I'm told, "lets do the photo, but I want to have a cigarette first." "Sure," I respond, "find me when you're back." Many minutes go by, and many more after that... and something just doesn't seem right. The Preen show is waiting for a line up but where are the girls? Where are the girls?!

That's it, I've had enough. I kick in the door to the women's restroom, and amongst a sea of horrific screams, I find 8 of the most beautiful girls - chatting, smoking, and shrieking w/ laughter! Now girls will be girls, but with guns blazing like an 80s action movie, I shot holes in the room. Here's a pic from the blood bath, smoke, laughter and all:  

Preen by the way, one of the best shows of the day.
