Triple Fat Goose NYC Fashion Week 2010
Triple Fat Goose has some great new looks. I was able to check them out first hand during fashion week, at the Chelsea Piers runway show. Hop over to SoJones, for more.
13th Witness X Staple at the Reed Space New York NY
Timmy McGurr, a/k/a 13th Witness, had his first solo exhibit at the Reed Space. Jeff Staples teamed up with Tim on the exhibit and produced some pretty sick t-shirts with Tim’s images printed on them. Anyway, he recently did a documentary while touring with John Mayer. The exhibit was awesome. I had actually seen some of Tim’s images before and was already a fan. It was great to hang out with these guys. More coverage at Curated.
Band of Outsiders New York Fashion Week 2010 Presentation
Band of Outsiders, in a little variation on the traditional “runway” approach to FW shows, decided instead to have a “presentation.” I have to admit, I really liked it. Instead of having that stuffy feeling where you are stuck in your seat for 20 minutes trying to scribble down notes/snap images, the presentation had a much more organic flow to it. The flow was a lot more natural. Observers were able to confer with one another without feeling like they were interrupting or missing something. From the point of view of a photographer, I have to say it was a lot less stressful than shooting a runway show. Instead of just blasting away on the shutter button for 2o minutes and sorting out the mess later, I was able to actually take my time and plan out my shots. On the flip side of that, there is really no excuse for getting a bad shot at setups like these. I hope that is becomes more common. Click through to Selectism and Highsnobiety for some commentary.
Burton NYC Fashion’s Night Out Party
This was the second year of New York City’s Fashion Night out. Last year I was covering the Roca Wear Party. This year, Burton hired me to shoot their FNO party at the SoHo flagship store. It was a seriously good time. I love it so much when I’m having such a great time, that it doesn’t even feel like I’m working. Huge thanks again to the NYC Burton crew, MFA and Timbo.
