The Night I Met Lauren Hutton

In mid-May, I attended ‘Fashion Icons: Lauren Hutton in Conversation with Fern Mallis’ at the 92Y + was extra excited.  Mind you, Lauren, the iconic model + actress, is the woman that’s had me wishing for front-gapped teeth since I was little.  Not even sticking spinach purposely between my front teeth could replicate her smile.

‘Invited Footwear To Frieze New York 2014, Sunday’ Photo Series

I don’t know about you but, every time I’ve gone to an art gallery opening or checked out a new art exhibit, depending on the artwork(s) or artist(s), the crowd is always as interesting if not, at times, better than the art itself, so why should Frieze New York be any different?  Sure, it’s all […]

Killer Streetwear Trifecta Create Sick Kicks

Seriously…..adidas Originals, BAPE + UDFTD, together, plus camo?  Can it get any better!   Apparently, these three streetwear heavyweights have teamed up to create a tiny capsule collection, reinterpreting the adidas Campus 80s + the adidas Original ZX 5000, with pale camo-inspired designs.  Yet, for as much as I love the adidas Campus 80s, their collab version (below) […]
