It's Fashion Week! And what an exciting week it is indeed. After having stalked Style.com and other runway reports since NYFW started on Thursday, I was just too excited to see the ADAM by Adam Lippes show today. I am very fortunate to have been able to attend - many thanks to my generous boss from my summer internship. You might check out our previous NYFW posts, here and here.
The runway was very simple, with a "casual chic"-looking chevron design in the background. Above photo via. Some of my shots below! Click all images to zoom.
The adorable, ubiquitous, perenially blue-clad photographer Bill Cunningham snaps a pic at the end of the runway.
A model stomps down the runway, right past front-rower Derek Blasberg, journalist/editor and author of Classy.
See blogger/model Hanneli Mustaparta (in green) photographing a feathery cable-knit sweater dress runway look. Maybe the photo she's taking here will appear on her blog!
One of the things that always shocks me about live runway shows is just how fast everyone evacuates/sprints out of the place. Within a minute the seats are clear - I suppose all of the editors are so busy getting to the back-to-back shows that they haven't a minute to lose. For those of us attending just one show, we have time to laze around and soak up the runway - or, like me, sneak backstage. A model snapped this pic of me with designer Adam Lippes. I got only a second to tell him how great I thought the show was - he was busy talking to his parents (aw) and hearing Linda Fargo tell him how much she seriously loved the show.
The set list backstage. This sign is huge - maybe 5 feet across. One thing that bothered me was that the models didn't have a proper changing area, let alone individual changing rooms, an issue that model Sara Ziff notes in her documentary Picture Me (see a special mini-series of the film here). In the backstage area where Adam was being interviewed, the models were changing in the wide open with everything out for all to see.
In the middle of the tent there's this pit where journalists and photographers sit, editing their runway photos and posting them to their respective websites. If you zoom in, you can see someone picking runway shots. Maybe they were picking some of these shots (my favorites from the Adam show) ... all via Fashionologie.
Happy Fashion Week!
