In the Tropics: Lafayette Street, June 2018
New Yorkers shed layers and put on floral and tropical prints this week as the temperature soared into the 90s. On Lafayette Street, a matching floral skirt and crop top plus a great accessory: French wine crate as bike basket.
Beating the Traffic, Art Basel Miami 2017
One guest arrived at the VIP entrance of Art Basel Miami via bicycle, the way to beat the traffic here in South Beach.
Biking in a Hat and Gloves, NYC November 2016
Winter is coming to New York City, but that hasn’t deterred people from biking around town. A man wore a hat, scarf and gloves as he biked through Astor Place one morning.
Girl on a Bike, New York City
This week I shot street style photos at the Kingpins Show, a denim trade show, for Team Peter Stigter in New York. It was a cool experience, and you can see all the photos on the Kingpins Facebook page. From the myriad denim swatches hanging inside to the jeans on the guests, there were so many looks that underscored the ubiquity of denim today. Where would we be without Levi Strauss? On Washington Street, construction workers labored in stone washed jeans while a girl whizzed by in shredded jeans and Converse sneakers.
Traveling in Style: Catherine Baba at Haider Ackermann
This was one of those “only at Paris Fashion Week” moments outside the Haider Ackerman show. The ever-chic stylist Catherine Baba made a grand exit by bike. She was one of several to wear all white this week while the weather’s still hot – plus of course a Chinese sun hat that’s become her signature look.
Aymeline Valade Leaving Fendi SS2015
Top model Aymeline Valade said to her friend when she was leaving Fendi: I always have a bike. It’s the easiest way to get around.
Bette Franke at Ralph Lauren
How gorgeous is model Bette Franke? And like many New York fashion week attendees, she traveled to the shows by bike, in this case a cool moss-green Biria with panniers. With taxis in short supply and the subway far away from many of the west side shows, bikes – regular or Citibikes – were the way to go this New York fashion week.
Catherine Baba at Balmain
The mysterious stylist Catherine Baba rode her bike to and from the Balmain fashion show in a hat with veil and a fur coat by Lanvin.
Cold, NYC
No matter what the weather, most New Yorkers are outdoors for long stretches every day, commuting to work or school. A biker in Soho wore a skeleton face mask to combat the cold.
Polka Dots on a Bicycle, Outside Alberta Ferretti
I think there is probably some fashion manual going around that says: if you want to attract attention from street style photographers, arrive on a bicycle. It works! Especially if you happen to be wearing head-to-toe polka dots like this stylish woman at the Alberta Ferretti show. And again… black and white.
Natalie Joos at Reed Krakoff
Natalie Joos traveled by bike to yesterday’s Reed Krakoff show, taking a cue from Catherine Baba. And I have no idea what brands she’s wearing – I just think she’s super cute!
Yellow Bike, Houston Street
Bikes remain ones of the best warm weather accessories, like this one in bright yellow. Also note the denim jacket and pink lipstick, two more big favorites of the season.
Sailor Stripes, Brooklyn Flea Williamsburg
Here’s how guys can work sailor stripes for spring – bold, vibrant and crisp. I also like how the white soles of his sneakers (intentionally?) match the white tires of his Moth bike.
The Bowery, November
Most of us never would have believed this 10 years ago, but the Bowery is shaping up to be one of the more fashionable avenues in New York. On the corner of East 4th Street, the Bowery Hotel is a favorite place to stay among the fashion set, and on the stretch of the Bowery just south of the hotel, Peels and Blue & Cream attract a chic crowd of diners and shoppers. Here’s a random sampling of stylish passers by over a few days on the Bowery.
Black leather pants are now a wardrobe staple. Don’t be afraid to mix black and brown, as with this look. (more…)
Heat Wave, East Village
How do you keep your cool in the East Village during a heat wave? Summer may call for gingham prints and khakis in the Hamptons, but that look just won’t fly in this neighborhood, formerly ground zero for New York’s punk movement. Savvy dressers managed to keep the edge without looking like an excerpt from Goths in Hot Weather.
Rule No. 1: Don’t cave into pastels. Graphic red, white and black keep this look sharp and citified. (more…)
