So on our final day of Fashion Week, we took a break from Lincoln Center, and photographed a few subjects around Milk Studios downtown.
They were all on their way to the Jeremy Scott show, so the creativity was on 10.
Take a look at who Marta McAdams caught with her lens:
Yoshi and Dai couldn’t be missed in their citrus colors, mirrored sunglasses, and patterned scarves. Also, what you heard was true: Meggings are catching on.
Blogger Coco Bella made a statement in pleated plaid, funky sunnies, and a throwback Polo bag. Did anyone else have one of those back in the day?
Reina gave us Lisa Bonet chic with glorious dreads and ripped jeans.
It seems Lawrence didn’t want his picture taken, but we snapped him anyway. His blue hair, platform shoes, and fur coat had to be documented.
Marc threw up his hands in praise of fashion in a colorful printed two piece, accented by printed shoes. I kinda like his Ann-Sofie Back dripping sunglasses!
Prints were also on tap for Kornelius, who paired jazzy pants with a simple sweatshirt.
Venus politely flipped us the bird in an orange jacket and silver stompers.
This young man also pointed fingers in PVC vinyl and leopard print.
Daniel seemed to be just passing through, but looked quite dashing in a fedora, readers, and oxblood skinny jeans.
This modelesque passer by layered like a champ in flannel, denim, and fur.
And lastly, Samantha exuded chic in black boots, degradé oversized shades, and a contrast sleeve varsity jacket.
Downtown fashion week participants are definitely different, but can you dig it?

no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, and no.
What is this counts as fashion nowadays? Girl…

I will never understand why women insist upon wearing sheer leggings as pants. I’m offended.
Some of these posts have reminded me of something Shiona Turini said on twitter– as she was getting dropped off at Lincoln Center, her cab driver said, “So many people in costumes.” This is all very contrived to me. Everyone tries so hard. I feel like real style posts from fashion weeks in other countries aren’t nearly as eyeroll-inducing. What is it about NY that makes people want to dress like clowns?
I do like Reina and Samantha’s looks, though. Also, Daniel and the guy in the plaid and fur.

I can’t take these horrible looks from fashion week anymore. This makes me sad :(. What is going on in my city? Has everyone gone mad?!
Samantha is the only one who looks decent and put together here.

I am going to hope your photographer is just taking pictures of the most ridiculously dressed people she can find and everyone doesn’t actually look like this.
February 14, 2013 9:24 am
So these people just showed up wearing eveything at once?
February 14, 2013 9:43 am
Im feeling Venus and Samantha’s looks. This is the Jeremy Scott show. People are going to be dressed a little outrageous. Since when was fashion safe and not crazy?
February 14, 2013 9:48 am
Loving Samantha look! Yasssss
February 14, 2013 10:07 am
Ooohhhh I get it! …. We’re voting for the most ridiculous one, right? This is hard, but it’s a tie between the two dudes wearing leggings and dude with blue hair with skirt.
February 14, 2013 10:23 am
Dang it club kids!!! Glow sticks and purple hair is not FASHION!! And tell LMFAO up there to gain some weight……I can’t!!!
February 14, 2013 10:24 am
The hot messes were running rampant ..I see:)
February 14, 2013 10:33 am
oooooo, this is so not it! sorry, but these people’s street style for FWNYC is giving me garbage pail kids chic and it ain’t cute. all tea, all shade. no ma’am!
February 14, 2013 10:36 am
i do have to say that i’m feeling daniel’s & samantha’s (minus that ratty t) looks + the layered dude between them is ok.
February 14, 2013 10:50 am
Samantha’s look is so effortless and edgy. Love!
February 14, 2013 11:21 am
Raina and Samantha!! Venus needs to invest in truly opaque leggings.
February 14, 2013 11:24 am
Good grief there’s a lot going on. Let’s see, something positive……I do dig that last picture and the Lisa Bonet chick. Also Ms. Takes has some lovely photographs. I agree that other country’s FW attendies do not look like this at all, not sure what went left in NY.

I’m only here for the final three. I can’t with the chick with the Polo bag. I definitely had one in high school. They were all the rage. Please don’t bring those back without some heavy refining.
February 14, 2013 12:22 pm
The girl with her middle fingers up looks a mess and she knows it. She’s basically telling us that’s how much effort she put in today’s look.
Samantha and Renia are doing it right.
February 14, 2013 12:26 pm
If this called fashion, then I want out. The fashion bystanders during this fashion week were a disappointment
February 14, 2013 12:56 pm
the last 3 people look good
February 14, 2013 1:01 pm
Samantha looks too cool! That coat is fire!
February 14, 2013 1:13 pm
I’m here for that PIFF tee, that’s all.
February 14, 2013 1:16 pm
Reina, I was with you until I zoomed in on the cigarette. #fail. Samantha appears to be doing new-age maternity. All the others just caused me to sigh and say – “My NYC fam…always on one.” The Polo bag did have me chuckling…
February 14, 2013 1:32 pm
I like Reina & Daniel’s look, oh & the guy with the plaid, denim & fur coat on. Everyone else as @tt said, is giving me Garbage Pail Kids *sad face*
February 14, 2013 2:11 pm
I wish yall had the deets on those boots Samantha has on. So gorge!
February 14, 2013 2:11 pm
People think when they go to fashion show is dress the most strange outfit they have in home
February 14, 2013 2:23 pm
OMG, I am so dissapointed, they all look a hot mess. It seems that photographers are only interested in showcasing these type of individuals. I see better dressed people and photographers by pass them because they are not all over the top.
I have seen some designers showing at Lincoln Center passing by dressed casually on their way to their show or after the show and there is no photographer around to take their photos because many of them don’t know who they are and because their oufit don’t scream “look at me”. However, these individuals are always making it to the blogs. Really!I hope London gets better.

This was really hard to look at, I can understand fashion being crazy and fun and free. But in art, there is juxtaposition, there is structure and some type of balance, 95% of these looks are just hideous mockeries. And someone needs to freakin’ recognize how Tyra spotted that mens legging trend years ago on the “Tyra” show Lol

The two boys look like male harrajhuku boys
February 16, 2013 2:57 am
i really just dont get it *sigh*
February 21, 2013 12:05 am
this is Rayna ie “Reina” i.e. ‘lisa bonet chick”. I cringe when I see that cigarette in the photo. But I worked the shows at NYFW (doing hair) and worked in the salon. That was one of the few breaks I had all day. Photog completely caught me off guard. I was hoping it looked like a pen :(
