What They Wore: New York Fashion Week STREET STYLE!
It was my first morning in NYC, and as I made my way to the New York Fashion Week grounds and walked up the steps of the Lincoln Center, I was immediately overwhelmed at all the fashion eye candy. The first person I stopped to photograph was a whacky dressed man wearing Mickey Mouse ears. Only afterwards did I realize I had just photographed Mondo, one of my all time favorite Project Runway designers. This first experience was just a taste of the amazing visual treats that were to come from my 5 day stay in New York, and by the time the trip was over I had certainly become a style diabetic.
Some standout trends that I noticed were huge in New York during Fashion Week were: mirrored sunglasses (I think even the crazy people who beg for money in the subway were wearing these), metallic shoes and accessories, lucite clutches and sheer vinyl bags, head-to-toe white, black and white stripes and checks, head-to-toe matching patterns, and of course the “jacket over the shoulders without putting your arms through the sleeves” look. It’s a fairly well known fact that people in New York hate putting their arms through sleeves, they absolutely hate it. I tried to recreate this look at one point while I was in New York because ya know “when in Rome”, however, I found it hard to function like this (mostly because of my nerves.) How does anyone just walk around with their jacket draped over themselves as if they’re not terrified that it could fall off at any unforeseen moment?! I guess I just can’t live life that imprudently.
These are SO GREAT. I could stare at them all night. Mondo’s outfit is head-to-toe crazy. Love him.
Wow! Please tell me you know where to get those acrylic mirrored sunglasses everyone seems to have there. Love the clear ones the dude in all white was rocking.
I love the acrylic glasses and the purse! Great photos, Joanna!
So much cool style, it’s mesmerizing! I personally love that one woman’s cat dress!
Awesome photos, lady! I love the photo of the more mature women rocking those leopard booties. Xo-M
I know right? She’s an inspiration.
She is wonderful, indeed. I think this might be the same woman:

Love the pics, Joanna! I enjoyed this way more than Tommy Ton’s photos or other street style stuff from big names because your shots are so much more real and capture a varied sense of style – not just the same old same old.
I appreciate this, I try to scope out my favorite styles when taking street style pics but I also try hard to capture a realistic tone of what is really out there so I’m glad you liked the varies sense of styles!
PS I love how Kyle from Marie Claire is SO totally posing in that fabulous pink outfit and Fendi bag. He’s just waiting for the street style photogs to come along because he knows they will.
Wow!
Amazing photographs with such an unusual mix of beautiful people wearing unusual and sometimes beautiful attire. Very very visual and a fun fun read!!!
Way to go Girl!!!
These pictures are AMAZING!
