CURIOUSER NEW YORK

  Yesterday I went to see Alexey Sorokin Spring 2013 fashion show that took place at the historic Pier 57. I talked about this Russian sensation, discovered by the NY-based fashion magazine Depesha , in my previous blog , and as I've anticipated, the show was incredible, but…too short. Meaning, according to my friends and the people sitting next to me on the first row - [yes, I had the best seats on the house!] - we all wished the show was a bit longer as it was visually very, very beautiful. Here's what I mean…

I got an invitation to attend the Spring 2013 fashion show by a designer from Russia, Alexey Sorokin. Well, since I have a soft spot for Russia, I was very happy about this invitation, especially after I've checked him out online and saw his incredibly creative works - [I've heard from him before, but not on a bigger scale, so I had no idea what to expect from him]. His show is tomorrow, September 12th, and I'd love to introduce this Russian sensation - [who, I pretty much sure, will take the NY fashion scene by storm tomorrow night and whose name you might be hearing very, very soon], but for now...here's his story:

I usually try to not post the photos I didn't take. I only post non-mine photos of the pieces from the designers and collections I really, really admire and desire... Such as these few pieces that have been on my mind from Proenza Schouler fall 2012:

How about that for a pattern-print trend? It almost makes me nauseous- in both good and bad sense of a word...

This is the second time I see a luxury and couture knitted collection by Janina Stankiene for her Janerations label. Last September she wowed me with her knits from her Spring 2012 Collection. While personally I find knits a rather difficult material to work with - [seriously, how much of a knit variation one can come up, right?] - it seems as if every time I see a collection by Stankiene, she pulls the creativity out of pretty much nothing, meaning - out of almost nothing, she makes something. And this something is pretty incredible. Her knitted collection, actually, makes me wanting winter...

I, seriously, can't get enough of this video that I came across, while being piled up - [or as they say in the digital age of photography - over-gadgeted and over-Mac-ed] - with hundreds of the shots I did at the Couture Fashion Week. These kind of videos make the days of the fashion bloggers a bit more easy. A bit more fun. The thing is, though, that the video is so funny and so true that it's not even funny... xoxo

Since I'm off fresh from the fashion shows, I thought I'd share my concern with you... I've been always wondering how those models are able to balance on those high heels - [to the point of very ridiculously uncomfortable and high, immediately comes to mind -  Alexander McQueens' shoes ] -  and not fall that often. And that's besides the fact that some of the overall outfits are uncomfortable to walk in - either long dresses and/or veils of some sort... I decided to entertain you a bit and share this video with you - Trips, Falls and Fun on the Catwalk ...
