Monochrome Shift: Summer to Fall
During another unusually hot summer, women dressed in white from head to toe. Lightweight, all-white clothing was the only way to beat the heat when the city felt like a kiln.
Then, in the NYC version of crows appearing at the onset of fall, all-black outfits started popping up in mid to late August. And another summer comes to an end.

Whip It: Candace Marie at Sacai FW2018

Eyes on You: Bryanboy at Diane von Furstenberg SS2018
In the past few years, the fashion industry has evolved from one in which designers and photographers framed their own story around a model – one who remained largely silent and transmutable – to one in which the subject of the photograph has just as much of a voice, if not more so, than the designers and the photographers. So it’s interesting to see, thanks to the internet and social media, who thrived in the previous scenario versus who thrives in the current one. Now more than ever it’s apparent who is beautiful on the inside as well as the outside.
So cheers to the weird, the strange, the eccentric. There would be no “fashion” – design would remain static – if there weren’t people willing to push the envelope and in doing so, create a new normal.

Azzedine Alaïa and Carla Sozzani, Paris 2014
R.I.P. Azzedine Alaïa, one of the last true master couturiers. He was a familiar sight during Paris couture week, when he walked into shows without any fanfare, almost always with his dear friend Carla Sozzani. One interesting thing to note about this photo – these were their outfits of choice for July. Mid-summer or not, black was always the order of the day.
Red Light Special: Jasmine Sanders at Dior SS2018
An example of how a long-sleeved, high-necked frock can still be quite sexy, as seen on Jasmine Sanders at the Dior show.
On the Runway: Gigi Hadid at Alberta Ferretti SS2018
