shoes -- Alexander McQueen
top -- Yigal Azrouël
bag -- Chanel
vest -- biker shop
studded pockets, cut off shorts -- Intermix
Rosie has been on the cover of Vogue Australia, Vogue Mexico, and walked the DKNY F/W 2009 show among others. I almost wanted to offer her a canoe to paddle down Lafayette street as the rain today was non-stop. Instead, I offered her my umbrella while I took a picture. Thanks Rosie!

Besides both having been photographed by Steven Meisel and both being represented by the same NY agency (DNA), they are also roommates.
Polish born Magdalena's name in Hebrew origins actually means 'from the tower'. I'd actually say she IS the tower given her January editorial in Italian Vogue with Steven Meisel, her catwalks down Balmain, Balenciaga, Givenchy, Lanvin, and her great outfit as seen here.
Liu Wen (Marilyn NY) with a bow tied belt. The first asian model to sign with Estée Lauder. The first asian model to walk the Victoria's Secret runway. Needless to say, the first photo in this post.
Hind Sahli (DNA NY) also with a bow tied belt. If you ask me, she rocks this hair cut. Look for her editorial in the May issue of VOGUE Italia by shot by Steven Meisel.
Jessica looking great after the Giorgio Armani show in Milan. Jessica also had 3 different looks in the Mulberry FW2011 show, making me wonder if Mulberry will use her for off runway gigs too.
The first time I met Tara was when I shot her for Teen Vogue.com at Fall/Winter 2009 Paris shows. Little did I know that then Tara was well on her way to walking 7 consecutive shows for Jean Paul Gaultier, an influential show on the fashion season circuit and most certainly an accomplishment worthy of noting:
Spring/Summer 2018 -- 2x
Spring Couture 2009 -- 1x
Fall/Winter 2009 -- 3x
Fall Couture 2009 -- 2x
Spring/Summer 2018 -- 3x
Spring Couture 2010 -- 2x
Fall/Winter 2010 -- 2x

Spunky Skye Stracke as seen with pal and birthday girl Taryn Davidson after a casting today. It's f-f-freezing right now in New York so if anyone of you is making the trip out here for fashion week, make sure you bring some seriously warm clothes. Brrr.
p.s. Stay Tuned for an upcoming interview with Sarah Doukas, owner of Storm Model Management in London and the one who discovered Kate Moss in JFK airport! She'll give her thoughts on the importance of style and press to a models career.
As seen while waiting for their driver after the Stéphane Rolland show on Day 2 of the Paris Haute Couture shows. All 3 girls are represented by DNA models in NY and Viva Models in Paris.
Mark Holgate from Vogue recently edited a Fashion post at Vogue.com which included my shots of Laura Blokhina (DNA) and Abbey Lee Kershaw (NEXT NY)
Siri Tollerød, 1 of 25 girls fortunate to walk Chloé.
Downtown avant-garde aesthete Brian Fee took a few minutes to discuss Laura Blokhina's style. In his own words, "she epitomizes effortless chic. It looks like she's out enjoying an early fall day in London while looking fierce, simply adorned but entirely captivating. The leather jacket and sandels add structure to a flowy easy look...however, she frees up the structure by rolling up the sleeves."
