This is designer Alisha Trimble . Her designs are available at several locations throughout New York City including The Dressing Room Boutique and Bar located on Orchard between Grand and Broome.

Striking proportions and layers on the coat...cool zippers at the ankles...most of the outfit is from G-Star.

Simple and effective: jeans rolled up at the ankles, cool suede colored boots, buttoned polo shirt at neck.

Nice Red sunglasses. You can see the front end of his Marc Jacobs Pan Am bag.

Tons of guys in The City can be seen wearing untucked oxford shirts with ties. This gentleman goes one step further with some interesting stitching from Diesel on his coat.

Last night was Fashion Night Out all over the world and the streets of New York City were shoulder-to-shoulder with people shopping, partying, and drinking pretty much everything in site. It's a wonder the city still functioned everyone was having so much fun.

Crossing paths with Yulia who is always a pleasure to see, was one highlight.

One thing we did talk about briefly was Casting Director Jennifer Starr's statement in her recent interview with New York Magazine, ""Model street style has blown up significantly in the past few years, what do you make of it?There is no doubt in my mind that if you have authentic personal style, it will help you as a model. Look at models like Erin Wasson, Abbey Lee, Freja Beha, and Daria Webowy, all of whom have great style. Personal style indicates to me that you have a great sense of self. The key is having authentic style. You must feel comfortable with the image you're projecting; otherwise, it's obvious you're trying too hard."

I discovered this gentleman waiting for his girlfriend outside of Starbucks on Crosby and Spring. The shot I took with a flash turned out pretty good too.

This is Ana, a fashion stylist for the New York City branch of RUNWAY (another branch is in the Marais in Paris). I found her while she was on break sitting across the street from the Runway store.

I found everything about this couple's style terrific. From the collar and sleeves on his plaid coat to the collar on her blouse, they made a great style statement to the streets of Soho.

User generated street style sites helped spawn the era of the personal style blog. Lookbook.nu and Chictopia collectively created enough social media attention to pave the way for the individual personal style blog phenomena. In an unprecedented move, L'Oreal Paris has created a new niche for user generated content: yourstyleyourstudio.

And it's all about Haute Hair.
