I didn't dress her but I think she is a decent model despite the naysayers. The word going around during fashion week was that she was being bullied by some of the other models because they thought she got shows because of her name. Jealous much?

 I wasn't assigned to dress this model, but ended up helping her because the DK staff dress one of the other models I was assigned.

 Ophelie

 Stephanie

The DK staff thought the dress was too complicated for me to figure to how to put on this models so they dressed her themselves. I love how fashion folk exaggerate things in their heightened state of hysteria during fashion week. This dress was not that complicated to put on the model, but I don't argue, it's pointless.

I was feeling to lazy to really hunt down pictures for this show and it was mostly about the famous people who were performing: Jennifer Lopez, Nicki Minaj, Justin Beiber, Kiss... I wasn't all that interested in showing them since we didn't work with any of them, but Super Model of the world Naomi Campbell was backstage with her "people" to change for her appearance on the show and she took a few moments to take pictures with all of us dressers. Someone took a group shot, but once again I didn't feel like looking for it and I was cut out anyway so...
 

All the above are blurry pictures I tried to take of  Naomi Campbell at the Fashion Rocks show backstage. Why in the hell does my cellphone camera not want to work for those crucial shots?! That's Audrey Smaltz in the third and fourth picture next to Naomi.

Abiah, who remembered me from last September when we did the Gap presentaion. That was the first time I had met him. He's becoming a much in demand male model.

My first time at Barclays was for this show.

 The girls skirts had led lights.

 This girls shoes were interesting. I couldn't get a better close up of them. I should have used my other camera instead of my cellphone.

I found out that  she is a shoe designer, hence, the cool shoes. Up close it was very diy. All you need is a plain pair of booties, some feathers, lace and a glue gun!

So pathetic! I sat in the tent for literally eight hours between shows and I didn't fint too many people interesting enough to take more pictures. I must be jaded.

They weren't giving away much this season, unfortunately.

 My model, Ophelie(far right), from DK Collection had a picture in one of  the Dailey fashion periodicals.

 In Tribute

I wanted to add Oscar De La Renta here since I didn't post about his death last Monday. He was such a gentleman, always calm and collected backstage. We hadn't worked for him in the past five years but, it was special the times we did work for him. Bless his soul, he will be missed.

July 22, 1932 - October 20, 2014

This was the last show I worked for Oscar in the spring of 2008. I wasn't during fashion week and it was at the Armory on the east side, 60th street or something like that.  It was also my first time working with Jourdan Dunn.

Mercedes-Benz New York Fahion Week Fall 2014/15: La Coste

Ahhhh, Lacoste the show that is always at the ass-crack of dawn on Saturday during fashion week, but I gladly get up and do this show each season because 1) they have menswear and I always asked to dress a guy!  2) thier staff is cool. and 3) they let us eat! Oh and they usually do nice clothes that if you can wear the way it's styled or you can wear individual items. I liked the collection for the most part, but I would definately add more accessories...or something! I just feel like there is something missing often times with Lacoste. They are more sporty fashion, but still...

My model,Author G. in his first look. The jacket was reverseable, so you get two for one!

 I like this look, the color. I would wear the sweater and the shoes!

 This model, who's name escapes me, was talking to me and his dresser and we said something which promted him to playfully punch me in the arm! I was too tired and still half asleep to be offended. He was way too perky so early in the morning and I told him so! LOL!

 I love big cozy sweaters like this. The flared skirt is cute, make it a bit longer and I'd wear it! 

 Aurthur G in his second look. He didnt say "thank you" to me when he walked away at the end of the show. I was highly offended. *snif*

 I like this look.

 Paul Boche is so cute!

The designer,Felipe Oliveira Baptista.

This a one picture of Frances Olympic outfits, which were on point! I'm too lazy right now to search for the sketches, but I will find them and add them later. 

Anyway, I was talking to the menswear coordinator for Lacoste, asked him if he worked on the clothes for the Olympics. he said he did some of the coats. I told him that France had the best look! And they did! I'd wear this for sure! That busy sweater from Ralph Lauren did not win me over. As USA loyal as I am, I'd buy that grey jacket the model is wearing above befor I bought that Ralph Lauren Sweater for the US, which I heard sold out! LOL!
