09.08.08 NEW YORK FASHION WEEK, DAY ONE
It's easy breezy with sporty perfection at Lacoste and dream casting at Obedient Sons



OMG New York fashion week Spring/Summer 2009 has hit and I have been completely knocked on my ass (partially because partying came a little early for me this season). I don't know if it's because I spent the summer backstage or because things are just über-hyped now up at the tents, but my week has started with a hangover bang and it's completely out of control! As i sit here in BK with my morning coffee and smoke(s) on DAY THREE I have no idea how I'm going to be able to recap all that's happened thus far and with 25 shows (the most I've done yet) and five parties five nights in a row, I don't see any relief in site.

It all started reasonably easy. Lacoste was my first show, which is always a pleasure because it's on a Saturday and everyone is way chill so there's plenty of time to hang out and catch up on how everyone spent the summer. This season was my favorite I've shot for Lacoste and I loved, and would wear, everything they did. They had a whole golf theme happening with smart jumpers and pullovers all with fun colors and all worn by some of the freshest young faces around. SO many beautiful kids at this show, both new and old, and it was my first introduction to all the new faces I'll be shooting throughout the week and there are a lot of good ones.



Next I hit Obedient Sons down at Industria which was a treat not only because i adore Swaim and Christina (and baby Lolo) but because Angus Munro and Noah Shelley's casting was genius. You had heavy-hitters like Heidi Mount (who's so rad) standing along side many of my favorite newcomers like Luiz Afonso, the fabulous Eniko, Tom Nicon, Jakob Weichmann and, of course, Lenz. I loved everyone in the show and it didn't hurt that my buddy Jay Massacret was there. With their recent CFDA nod, the house was packed with the industry's biggest wigs, but the backstage was so cute that I couldn't be bothered to head out front.

Lastly (and this is where I blew it), VMAN's party with Ford Models over at Indochine. Jesus. What was I thinking being out until 3 a.m. on the first night of fashion week? And that's not including my drive back out to Brooklyn where I spent the latter part of the morning editing and uploading film. The party was a blast and I especially enjoyed shooting Stella Schnabel dancing on a booth given me MAJOR "back." All in all, an amazing day but a little much for my early subway ride up to the tents for a DKNY blowout that left me reaching for my Xanax. You'll get all that next as well as Patrik Ervell, DVF, Y-3, Tim Hamilton and THE best party (seriously) I have ever shot—Calvin Klein's 40th anniversary at the Highline Building over on 10th Avenue. Major!
