Raf's show was sure to be killer end to a NYFW Men's day. Set in an alley behind a daycare, the show was held in long hallway of a outdoor market. Boys wore raincoats, umbrellas and held lanterns. Inspiration derived from Raf's love of the film "Blade Runner" in the heart of Chinatown, the show started at a late 9:45pm. The sound of the trains above on the Manhattan Bridge and the stale air filled the space. Photographers gathered in an alley perpendicular to the runway, where guests stood lining the walls.

Jason Wu Fall 2017 for T Magazine
Bold red lips, blue mascara and gold velvet and glitter see-through gowns graced the halls of the St. Regis Hotel. It's a perfect setting for Jason Wu's fall collection.
The tight hallways are a challenge for shooting full looks and the chaos begins to unfold as the show starts. I stuck around until the very end and was lucky to capture Adriana Lima and Amber Valletta congratulating Jason on a remarkable collection. Luke Wilson also was in attendance and even came backstage before the show to check out the looks. His backstage pass hanging on a lanyard around his neck made him look more like he was part of the crowd and no one seemed to notice. My obsession with Legally Blonde kicked in and I scurried my way over to ask for a shot. "Do I look good?" he asks me as he runs his hands through his hair. I pause, stunned. Then reply "of course!" Probably a little too eager. Another photographer pats me on the back for having the courage to approach him when no one else would.

Ralph Lauren Spring 2017 for T Magazine
By the end of the week, NYFW can feel repetitive. Hair. makeup. Backstage. First Looks.
Ralph Lauren was a refreshing end to the hectic fashion week. With no backstage or first looks access, my coverage was limited to front row and runway. Julianne Moore and her daughter sat front row with Haley Bennett, Rosie Huntington-Whitely, Annabelle Wallis and Jessica Alba.
After the show, doors opened to their Madison Ave store where attendees could shop the looks immediately. Guests mingled with Ralph and his family while enjoying champagne.
