Backstage at Georgine during NYFW S/S 2016

I had a blast photographing Georgine's show, especially backstage. Here's a behind the scenes look at her show.

 

Custo Barcelona & Dascha Polanco

This past week has been a busy week for me, Fashion Week started on Thursday September 10th. I've been out and about shooting all of the various runway shows. (I will post some more photos from the week later). On Friday, I was shooting the Custo Barcelona show and on my way out I ran into the beautiful Dascha Polanco. You may know her as Daya from Orange Is the New Black. She was super sweet and let me take some great photos of her. She has such a beautiful smile! I wanted to share some of the images:

I don't usually post photos of myself, but I was very happy to meet Dascha. I am a big fan of Orange is the New Black.

Reem Acra's Runway Show at New York Fashion Week

I am still going through all of my photos from fashion week, but as I was editing I realized Reem Acra's show was one of my favorites. There was so much attention to detail and amazing bead work. I wanted to share some of her beautiful pieces. 

 

Zang Toi Showroom

The day after fashion week ended I was invited by my very good friend Nora Kobrenik to visit the Zang Toi showroom. Nora couldn't make the show during fashion week, but still wanted to see the newest collection. Of course I was super excited when she invited me!

The showroom was absolutely beautiful. All the decor was either black, white or mirrored, except for the clothing of course. It was super stylish! Zang Toi himself wasn't there, but we were shown around by Steven Ong. Steven was really nice and explained the whole collection to Nora.  It was really cool to see the clothing from close up. I've only ever seen them on the runway. They looked so elegant, I was afraid to touch them, but they didn't mind if we did.  He also had his sketches hanging on the wall, that was really interesting to see how each piece comes together.

New York Fashion Week Backstage with Zoya Nail Polish!

I was backstage a lot during this season, while I was there I kept noticing they had a lot of manicurist, I was very intrigued. There were a ton of shades of polish and each show had a many different colors. All of nail polish that I saw was provided by Zoya. I was very excited because I have many zoya products already, but I wanted to learn more about them.  Their nail polish is all vegan, which is wonderful! It goes on really smooth and when you take it off it is very easy and you don’t have to keep scrubbing, Don't you hate when your polish doesn't want to come off? With this, it comes off very quickly! (I love that!)

The people from Zoya were very nice, they told me about their new satin polish line, which I have yet to try, but I was lucky enough to be given a few samples to take home with me! I haven’t used the satin yet, but I did play around with the colors I got from the Zang Toi show. They were very pretty brown tones perfect for this snowy weather we are having now. (sorry I didn’t take a photo of my nails).
Herve Leger & Malan Breton also had Zoya doing the nails for their shows. The colors were beautiful! Unfortunately I didn’t get to keep those, but I got a few other colors to try out! I’m so excited for it to get warmer so I can play with all of the colors!
