Collars and braids on 5th avenue

Annique on Howard Street

Coat - Agnes B

Sleeveless Dress/Skirt: Lilith

Scarf - NAU

Clogs - Dansko

Wish I knew her scarf too.

I’m not a big fan of style blogs that seem to list off an outfit’s brand names and such but I LOVE THIS. This makes me want to study fashion and know all the brands, fashion houses, techniques, etc.

It reminds me of Dries Van Noten a bit. He was the first designer to get me into prints. Perfect amount of print … her coat is look like they projected a photograph onto it. Love it! I know she’s not trying to be trendy but herself and cool. She’s had the Agnes B skirt for a while. 

I caught her at a weird moment, before crossing the street and leaving nice light so this encounter was quite quick. Still so worth it!

PS: Thanks random person who knew Annique and messaged me the correct  spellings. Small world!

Looking good on Union Square. 

What material is her jacket?

Friends that match - 9th Avenue

This post is about … clothes and character: This is Sally from Sydney, Australia on Kenmare Street. She and her husband are visiting from Australia. I bumped into them right after passing by Ruby’s which is an Australian eatery actually.

I liked how she wasn’t afraid to wear a bit of color with her pants and how she subtly mixed in her polka-dot socks! I like her boots of course and how she drapes her top. What really made it for me was her hat - a beautiful, timeless accessory. I’m not sure how to describe it - but I like that embroidered/pendant type thing. She doesn’t work in fashion but still cares about it a healthy amount. This is my perfect subject - someone who looks great, is subtle, and isn’t showy with their fashion. 

Hat - Sonia Rykiel 

Something else I didn’t note correctly - her pants I think - Sass and Bide

Everything was bought in Sydney.

Sass and Bide is. so. cool. Look at their Spring 2012 RTW collection here. I know, I’m quite new to this, I had heard of Sass and Bide before but meeting Sally made me have a reason to really research them. They aren’t afraid to use colors and have fun. They are creative. Each of their collection has its own little personality. I’m not sure how to describe it but I got a similar feeling when I first discovered J.W. Anderson (UK). I think Sarah-Jane Clarke and Heidi Middleton, Sass and Bide designers, have worked in London and show in London. Their clothes allow the wearer to visit a different world, be imaginative, unabashed, yet everything is fairly wearable - it’s not insane and gaudy. It’s healthy, a mixture of solid colors and patterns. Here’s their Fall 2011 collection. I’ll let Meenal Mistry explain.

I have always wanted to visit Australia or England - I’ve been meeting a lot of Australians lately and they all seem quite cool - it’d be nice to work in either place.

Refinery 29 did a piece of Australian Designers to follow a few days ago (Sass and Bide included!)

Bike Chic / Turning Heads

Ashley on 23rd Street

Logan on 4th Street / NYU - Flower power! I’m sure you know the weather in New York was amazing today! 

Outside the tents.

February 23, 2012: Sierra on St. Marks Place

82 Mercer (Before Y3)

Back to the basics - black on Bowery.

She had really cool back pockets! My guess is some of this is Alex Wang, Givenchy or similar designers. New York Uniform.
