Welcome to Michele McNally, Horatio Silva, Anne Christensen, and the N.Y. Times...revisiting vintage altamira
Anne Christensen on Sixth Avenue outside of the tents during fashion week. The movement of the person in the background suggests how challening it was to weave through people at New York Fashion Week, let alone get a clear picture.I found Carine Roitfeld fun and really cooperative with my requests. Instead of shooting a full body …

Attention All Shoppers
Not too long ago, I was at Wal-Mart with my four children and we pulled down one the aisles of the parking lot. I stopped to wait for a lady to pull out, so I could get her spot. The parking lot was packed that day and I was determined to get this one space - so I sat there and waited.There was this guy in the car behind me. I cou…

Abbey Lee (Next, Milan) exits the Fendi show
Typical pandemonium ensued today when Abbey Lee exited the Fendi show. Photographers everywhere were in a scurry amidst the narrow filled streets of Milan to get around cars, maneuver around other photographers, and try and get just the right light to shoot Abbey Lee. And who can blame them for trying to get Abbey's gold platforms…

Atelier's Avant-Garde Excellence
This is Sato. Everything from the volume in the toe box of his boots, to the length of his pants which wrinkle neatly around the calves, to the length of the sleeves on his cardigan all impressed me.Karlo, the owner of the designer menswear store on Crosby Atelier New York must be proud to have such great examples walking the stre…

New York City Street Style: 50's retro
The bow in her hair actually matches the color of her hair, which makes it difficult to see. But the collar on her coat, the buttons on her coat, and her purse all make for a (at least to me) a cohesive 50's retro look. She bought the coat from a vintage store in Paris. …

New York City Street Style
It figures that after spending 9 days in London the first person that would really capture my eye back in NYC is someone wearing a Gareth Pugh coat. True to the experimentation of form and volume so typical of Pugh, she told me that the coat changes shape every time she puts it on. I liked her oxford flats too.Here from the front …
