nyfw day 2.

catching the nicholas k show was quite a blissfully grungy way to start off the day, where raw fabrics composed a so archival vintage collection. what could possibly be said to be even more fascinating: meeting the really-nice kelly cutrone and watching her reaction when a model tripped. next up: bcbg was packed out. the pure lines and elongated silhouettes were a breath of fresh air but not out-of-this-world amazing. onto luca luca for some backstage interviews. i heart the madness behind those walls. truly exhilarating. makeup artist gucci westman is a genius (no wonder she is revlon's finest), not to mention the hair stylist, teddy charles. what a hunk. mara hoffman up next! might i say she was me and shannon's favorite of the day? this presentation was a diamond in the rough. did i step out of the big apple into an organic wonderland? definitely. mara is such a depiction of freedom.only in this place, only during this week, magic happens. when else do you meet a parisian photographer who wants to capture the beauty of friendship on your way to dinner? when else can you mingle with some of the most interesting artists on the planet? this was all discussed in some girl bonding over hot soup at the chowder room in the empire hotel with mari and shannon, only to be graced with the presence of thomas and errol-the hawaiian counterparts of our fashion team. they are absolutely extraordinary.christian siriano closed the door on us, only to lead to a fun night of shan and lo adventures. it took a few hours of talking for us to catch up on a few years!
