Fashion Month's Highlight Reel - Highs & Lows

The Cut went above and beyond this fashion month with their coverage. Their staff photographers YoungJun Koo (still the best name ever) and friends put a lot of miles on those collective shutters capturing some pretty excellent-unbelievable-creepy-awesome things. I really love the street style coverage every time there are new fashion weeks. I prefer the street style to the runway (mostly) because it's real life fashion, outside, and in the world. 

Apparently it's become a "Hate Watching Sport" according to some of the writer's at The Cut (read the article here). I totally see how that is true, but mainly I think we are just all enthralled with people and their proclivities for weirdness. In the words of Oprah's Own Super Soul Sunday, "Their vulnerability resonates with our vulnerability and connects us all to the greater being." Ok, clearly that was not a direct-direct quote, but you catch the drift. People being weird makes the weirdness in us rejoice. Fashion week/month is like the fashion weirdness parade where we can all applaud each other's risk taking and brovado. I think it is great and have hand chosen my favorite images from the last several seasons (here, here and here). And that is exactly what I have done below too. 

The dress, the cut and those nails - how terrible in a wonderful way! The Blonds, New York

Can you name all of the people in this image? It's Kanye, Karl, that Italian lady for Vogue? Don't know the other guy. Very interesting image though. They all look like Madam Toussad's wax figurines. Just saying.

It's my boyfriend! House of Waris creator, Waris Ahluwalia and Johan Lindeberg at Purple Magazine and Bulgari Dinner, Paris. Remember when I wrote about him? You don't? Read that here.

Every season there is an iconic bright lipstick-backstage-application shot. And I love them every time. Especially this fuchsia color. Remember when I wrote about my mother's fuchsia lipstick? Oh, you don't? Read that here.

No words. This is just really, really amazing. Bare skin in a snow storm? Yes PLEASE.

Similar to the above: no words. Well two words actually: NIP SLIP. If 'nip' counts as a word. I love everything about this gentleman, especially his XXS shirt, his fake tats, and his many-many belts. Whoever  you are can we be friends? I just got those same glasses from my father's 1980s self! I am wearing them now. Ok, not now but when I get outside I will. Promise.

This cartoon style jacket doesn't scream rich so much to me as Kanye West? Is that you, Kanye? No reason to hide.

What else is new? Wedding lists are getting finalized. The numbers jumped quite a bit - so the wedding went from small to small-ish... Would you like a style board of me in all of the dresses I tried on? I am a little embarrassed  but think it would be good for a laugh. Clearly I will not be posting THE Dress because you-know-who is probably reading this right meow. Until then!
