Paris

The last few days before a major fashion show are crazy!!My friend, photographer Janette Beckman  was hired by Christian Dior to document behind the scenes. I went along for the ride...
For the first time ever, there is a woman designer at the helm of this legendary fashion house: Maria Grazia Chiuri.
Of course I managed to snap a few photos with my i phone! Paris is just so damn beautiful, even the construction fences are chic!

Trash and Vaudeville

Much has been written about Trash and Vaudeville, the legendary Punk and Rock clothing stores that were located for 40 some years on St. Mark's place.
The long time manager, Jimmy Webb (pretty iconic himself), let me take some pictures just before the move to east 7th street...

Jolie Clifford.....the Girl with the 50ties Style

Jolie Clifford was featured in yesterday's New York Times Style Section. I photographed her and a friend on the street last year. (check here). I loved their style and spirit,
they reminded me of Betty Page and Giulietta Masina, what a great pair.

Paint it black

A little shoot I did a little while ago. Christine Gabriele did the styling. I was fascinated by this
light shaft in Christine's building where it's very dark and moody even on a super sunny day, here are some more photos.

Holiday Windows

The Holiday Season in New York can be a bit much.... Tons of crowds to fight if you just want to pick up some groceries and lets not even get started on the Christmas songs playing non stop everywhere. But the Windows are definitely something to see. Here is a quick peek at Bergdorf's.

Thanks to everybody who visited the blog even though there was not a lot of activity here of late, I appreciate it a lot. And feel free to comment.
