Fashion Models:
Brian Fee

What? VOGUE's Brian Fee? Yeah, you read that right. If you've ever wondered what goes on inside the mind of an editor for the world's most illustrious fashion magazine when they are looking at street photos, now your curiosity can at least be partially fulfilled. Brian from Vogue's Art Department was cool enough to look through 17 shots I took of Hanne Gaby Odiele from Supreme Models and distill them into a mini 3 piece pictorial for my blog (everybody give Brian an ovation--better yet, send him some new Rick Owen's pieces for his Guest Edit).

With regards to the first photo, Brian's words were, "it's gentle enough as the first shot, like 'get to know Hanne'" And in regards to the last shot he stated, "I really like as a closer." Ultimately, he coined the pictorial with the experimental title, "Hanne balances multiple bags with style to spare." Personally, I like it!

And for those of you that are curious to get to know Hanne better than you ever imagined, have a visit to this post at the Supreme Models Blog for a peek inside her apartment...

On Tuesday night I had the pleasure of going to the Stephen Sprouse book launch party at Atelier at Hudson and Spring. Style.com did an interview with Mauricio and Roger Padilha who authored the book in homage to Stephen Sprouse, famous for his neon hued marks on Louis Vuitton. The party was amazing and above are a few shots from the evening.
