The Mercer St. Location of Rag & Bone recently hosted a launch even for the collaboration with Timberland Boots. I was there covering the event for HS. Jeff Staple and Terry Kennedy were a few of the guests in attendance.
Band of Outsiders, in a little variation on the traditional “runway” approach to FW shows, decided instead to have a “presentation.” I have to admit, I really liked it. Instead of having that stuffy feeling where you are stuck in your seat for 20 minutes trying to scribble down notes/snap images, the presentation had a much more organic flow to it. The flow was a lot more natural. Observers were able to confer with one another without feeling like they were interrupting or missing something. From the point of view of a photographer, I have to say it was a lot less stressful than shooting a runway show. Instead of just blasting away on the shutter button for 2o minutes and sorting out the mess later, I was able to actually take my time and plan out my shots. On the flip side of that, there is really no excuse for getting a bad shot at setups like these. I hope that is becomes more common. Click through to Selectism and Highsnobiety for some commentary.
West coast street wear label The Hundreds recently expanded to the east coast with the opening of their SoHo location in NYC. These are some of the shots that I did for Highsnobiety.
It was so cool to hangout with and shoot Os Gemeos. I have been a huge fan of their work for a long time. I also have a bit of favoritism for them, when it comes to street art, being that they are Brazilian. Be sure to check out the coverage on HS.
Converse rocked the Williamsburg Music Hall, this week in Brooklyn with Kid Cudi. I also heard the group Best Coast, for the first time. It was a pretty pleasant discovery. It was the first time that I had been to the venue, and and I had almost forgotten that I read about Shepard Fairey doing the wallpaper for the joint, during his May Day campaign. It was a cool venue and a fun show. Check out the coverage on Highsnobiety.com.
