Fashion Models [Search results for designer street style] 

Two years ago designer Brian Reyes hired Casting Director Julia Samersova Adler to comb through hundreds of models and edit down the choices for his runway show. Julia chose what was then the unknown face of Jacquelyn Jablonski. That's before Jacquelyn stunned the modeling world with her stellar Spring/Summer 2018 runway performances.

Clients have invested years now calling upon that same eye that picked Jacquelyn two years ago to stack one successful cast upon another. The list is expanding and reads like a Who's Who of clients from the modeling world: the DKNY show, the Sass and Bide show, VOGUE Italia, VOGUE Germany, J. Crew, Neiman Marcus, Patrick Demarchelier, and Mario Sorrenti. Put it to you this way, the demand for her services and the access to the best models from the best agencies she brings to the table on a global level is NOT shrinking.

The best part about Julia is that she treats each one of her models with a Tender Loving Care (TLC) that hopefully you can relate to in the above photo with her husband Andrew and new baby daughter, Violet. She runs the internet's first street style site soley dedicated to kids street style: Planet Awesome Kid a goal of which is to create resources for kids charities.

Go check out Planet Awesome Kid for your daily dose of cuteness (updated like 4 times a day).

p.s. dress to impress!

This is Toshiko. Currently she's a graphic designer and has a degree from a fashion institute in Japan. She bought the coat on ebay, replaced the buttons herself, and self-knitted her hat. The boots are a vintage purchase.

This is Laura Whitcomb, owner and designer for Label. She is wearing a self made dress for her shop. Double click the picture for a high resolution enlarged image.

This is Wendy, the buyer for a new store in Nolita called Think Closet located at 242 Mulberry Street. They specialize in imports from Tokyo, Hong Kong, and Korea. Double click the picture for a high resolution enlarged image.

I think it's easier to articulate what she is by starting with what she is not: neither referring to a past era; nor designer driven; nor futuristic. The vest was borrowed from a friend and when coupled with her flowing dark hair and dark skin complexion, the look is cohesive and distinctively unique. How would you describe her style?

I thought I'd throw some variety into the mix of Models Off Duty, so here is Russian designer Vika Gazinskaya applying make up while at New York Fashion Week. Back to regular street style shots tomorrow.

This is Grady Dennis, the Men's Account Executive for Denise Williamson PR and Showroom . His newsboy pants are by Marc Jacobs.

This is Alvin Manalo, the owner and designer of Sydney based label Saint Augustine Academy .

This is designer Alisha Trimble wearing a dress she designed.

Wow, I love how her top is reminiscent of the top worn by Danish designer, Diana Brinks.

From across the pond, this British gentleman brings cool eyeglasses and a great jacket.

This is Karlo Steel, the owner of one of Manhattan's leading cutting edge menswear stores: ATELIER NEW YORK. If you are into fashion, a trip to NYC is not complete without a trip to Atelier. I would go here before I would go anywhere else in NYC to get current leading designer's releases. Here is a closeup of his ring.

This is Enrique Muthuan a jewelry designer based out of Williamsburg. His site depicts some really interesting jewelry pieces . No surprise there as he's dressed equally well. I picked out this shot since it clearly depicts the tatoo on his left hand.

Above is Sonia Yoon the designer and owner for BENSONI. Her blouse is a hand made original.

Wrap top, but only covering half the body. Cool boots too.

This is Ryan wearing a Ted Baker suit and a Brooklyn Industries jacket.

This is Raina displaying a coat from Anthropologie, cool shades, and great color usage.

This is Mara who is a designer originally from Argentina. She made the vest herself from goat hair.

This is Darla. I like the 3/4 length sleeves on her coat and red bag.

This is Marjorie wearing a Prada coat, a Miu Miu bag, Chanel scarf, and Chanel boots.

This is designer Camilla Stærk as discovered in Nolita.

If you are ever in New York City, be sure to stop by her flagship store at 82 Mulberry Street (between Kenmare and Broome). If you can't make it to the flagship store be sure to visit her web site for further insight into this amazing designer's pieces.

Personally, I found Victoria's avant-garde style immediately mesmerizing: it's architectural appeal, the rolling of the fabric along the torso and of course the asymmetrically layered hems. It also turns out that Victoria is actually wearing a necklace that she designed herself. Her work has appeared in ID magazine in the past and will presumably show in more magazines in the future.

Above is Christian, the designer for Even Tide. Barney's is scheduled to carry his line soon.

Fantastic flapper style.
