I have been rushing between shows as fashion week has come to an end, but I’m still making time to indulge. My partnership with Carbone Fine Food has been so much fun to photograph and it’s an easy go-to sauce to always have in the house. A plate of Carbone Fine Food Tomato Basil sauce pasta is the energy boost I need. So simple and delicious, topped off with fresh basil and parmesan. Changing looks and hair and makeup is so much more fun with a side of sexy homemade pasta.

It’s amazing what we can accomplish during one very snowy February NYFW, and still look good doing it. Think ribbed dresses, my Hermès Kelly debut, and nubby knitwear. Us New Yorkers know how to have fun, even in the cold. Some favorites this season: Mereurt Tologen for all the artful, theatrical designs and Altuzarra for Parisian elegance. Let’s do this fashion week all over again.

I had just shot the EXPRESS holiday campaign that was in US stores, and it’s so exciting to now celebrate a brand new era of EXPRESS this 2025! Fashion month is still in full swing, and EXPRESS and VOGUE just hosted an intimate get together at Jac’s on Bond this NYFW. When I think of EXPRESS, I think black and white and I think timeless. That’s exactly what I leaned into for this night. A strapless dress really never goes out of style.

The best part of NYFW for me is discovering new designers. This intergalactic dress is by TTSWTRS and has all the elements I love in a good party dress: strapless, a corset waist, and tulle skirt. This is a Ukrainian designer I’m currently in love with. This dress is part of the AI Met a Woman collection and it emulates that vision exactly. It’s unreal and completely out of this world.

This NYFW was incredible and I got to work with my dream partner: Estée Lauder. I can count on the iconic Estée Lauder Double Stay-In-Place Foundation to work its magic for a full 24 hours, with no touch ups needed. NYFW was glamorous chaos, leading up to the Estée Lauder x High Snobiety fashion week party at Hotel Chelsea. I got to dance the night away. It truly was a week of all beauty and no rest, and yes, it was all so worth it.

NYFW kicked off at the CHANEL Lucky Chance Diner in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. It was a retro pastel pink CHANEL wonderland of milkshakes, french fries, and the entire Lucky Chance fragrance collection. I love any reason to whip out the sparkles and get playful with one of my favorite luxury fashion houses. I hope you enjoy this blast from the past, back to the 1950’s, one of the most iconic decades.

A very retro glam look shot on film on the way to the Batsheva show here at fashion week. This is a NYC designer I’m in love with at the moment. It always feels like a beautiful and eclectic blast from the past.

NYFW is a wrap! I’m a veteran at this point, with over 12 years of fashion weeks and counting. London, Milan, Paris. I’ve done them all and still, it excites me. I ended the week in this fabulous self-portrait lime green set. I loved how it perfectly compliments the retro glam hair/makeup by the amazing Nick Stenson Beauty team. I was completely stress-free this season, which made it all feel like a breeze. See you again at the shows in September! To many more nights of dancing and great company.

Dylana and I rushing to the PatBo show, perfectly captured in the nyc sun by the talented photographer, Tonya Matyu. I love these images and how the embellishments are going wild in the wind. It captures our energy this past week. The madness and the chaos that is fashion week.

I’m so excited to show you a new Suarez Sisters campaign shot for the launch of PatBo at Amazon Luxury Stores! This Brazilian designer makes incredible couture eveningwear, like this hand-beaded bralette top and matching lurex legging. I got to take a peek at the latest PatBo A/W 2023 show here at NYFW, where the designer brings craftsmanship and print to ready-to-wear and swimwear. The designer has also established a school in her hometown of Brazil, where local women are taught craftsmanship skills that enable them fulfilling work as artisans. Dylana and I are so inspired by this collection and I hope you are too!
