HELLO hello hello/

Readers and friends, I've been bad about bringing you backstage this week but to say the least, it's been busy!  Still, I have plenty to show and tell. First, my book came out this evening!! Just a little something we put together with the group at Modelinia and it looks great! I was a bit nervous but the end result is fantastic, a collection of images from the past Fall/winter 2009 season in New York, Paris, and Milan. Have a look on the website, or get yourself a copy through blurb. Go for the hardcover, it's the perfect size!

Due to internet issue, you're going to have to wait for photos here BUT please look at the beauty images on style.com, or the Model Transformations on the NYTimes Magazine blog [there are two, Marc Jacobs and Oscar de la Renta].

Also, if you would like to see a cheeky little bit about me, read my profile on the New York Magazine online.

Alright, it's time to sleep! Stay posted for my NY faves the next few days.

QUICK snaps from Richard Chai/

Last night was fantastic! Ohne Titel, Richard Chai, Alex Wang after party w/ Courtney Love and Love Magazine... Awesome! Doesn't get any better.

Look at the Love website for pics later but in the meantime, here are some quick snaps from Chai and Ohne Titel before I run back out the door:

WU-hoo!/

Best show of the day... Jason Wu! Loved the clothes, loved the energy, loved the pics! In need of needed sleep (already) and though Erin Wasson is having her party tonight (wish i had the strength) pics from her show to follow. Good night!

THEY'RE baaack/

Hello, faithful readers. New York Fashion Week is only a few days away and just walking out of the house yesterday was like walking into a casting call.. The Soho streets were buzzing - and for the girls, the new season has only just begun. Phones blazing with go see directions, bags filled with portfolios and the spoils of last season [sometimes a girl will do a show for trade and only gets the chance to pick up the clothes in exchange the season after the show]. Still, excitement is in the air and already-tired legs on the street. Here are a few of my faves that always bring a light to my eye:

BLACK Acid Co-op

Between the ready to wear and made to measure I have been following the art collective of Jonah Freeman and Justin Lowe who have created the Black Acid Co-op in New York City. This is an amazing project installed at the Deitch project and if you're in town, you should definitely check it out. Above is the New York Magazine review, complete w/ photo by yours truly. For more, have a look in the New York Times this coming saturday.
