Last but one post dedicated to New York Fashion Week, then we’ll get back to our habits!

Let’s start with a confession : during this crazy week spent running all over the city, I realized I like being on the other side of the camera more and more.

Don’t worry, I’m not going to stop publishing outfits, but I have to say I really enjoy breaking the routine.

So today, here is a series of portraits of more or less famous people spotted at the end of Tommy Hilfiger show and before Michael Kors and Hugo Boss runways.

The Fashion Week is now over, and I actually feel relieved because I’m such a wreck by now. I caught a cold. Despite my desperate attempt to pile up many layers at the risk of sacrificing elegance, I couldn’t cope with the thermal shock between the tropical heat of Costa Rica (100°F in Corcovado) and New York coldness (12°F this morning!).

For this New York Fashion Week Day 2, no catwalks but only presentations.

You know I love this exhibit, and I almost know it by heart now : the Madonna corset, the Nana teddy bear on which Jean-Paul Gaultier created his first prototype of cone bra when he was a child, the models animated by a three-dimensional process on molded faces, and many other things. What is really nice – especially when it’s your third visit – is that they add surprises and new stuff! … READ MORE

It took me a while to find enough time to do nothing for several hours in a row but write this article for you. It’s gonna be long and passionate – and I hope exicting, but let’s not be too sure about that…

(more than 15 hours to be totally honest, including the time I spent selecting my pictures and the responding delay of my exhausted Macbook).

Let’s get in the atmosphere…

DAY 1

I woke up early on Friday and jumped in a yellow cab to join the lovely Kenza and be introduced to Mathilde and Julie, to … READ MORE
