Raf Simons Spring 2018 for T Magazine

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.

Tommy Hilfiger Men's SS17 for T Magazine

Tommy Hilfiger's Men's Presentation was rainbow dreams meets Beatles cover. 

"I don't have Tommy underwear!" screams one model. "Everyone has matching underwear and I don't have any on!" he says while looking deep into his black and white striped pants. 

The models posed for a quick shot on the High Line prior to the presentation. Separate square platforms filled the empty space for models to stand on. The models were bold and bright next to the all black attendees of the fashion industry in NYC. 

Rack of clothes, sunglass, bags, belts and shoes were displayed throughout the room. Guests were greeted at the door by attractive men in matching white and red striped shirts with cocktail trays and Brooklyn summer Ale bottles. 

One guest snatched a jacket off the display and sunglasses to take an Instagram. (He quickly was asked to take all the items off). Jerry O'Connell, a VIP guest, introduced himself to me, as if I had no idea who he was. I tried to hold back telling him how much I like his new role on Mistresses.

Ovadia and Sons SS17 NYFWM

Leopard. Tie Dye. Marijuana logos. 

Shimon and Ariel Ovadia put on the most killer show last night at Skylight Clarkson that I have ever seen. 

I raved about how much I loved the collection to the brothers backstage after I looked through the pieces shooting details of the furs, nits and blouses. "Don't look at all the pieces before the show, it will ruin the surprise for you," they said. However, seeing it on the runway was a whole new experience. A flower installation hung from the ceiling and the runway was shaped in a horse shoe as models circled around benches of seats. 

Guests included Jadakiss, Colton Haynes, Ally Maki, Travis Mills, Eric Rutherford, Shabazz Muhammad, Dahntay Jones, Dwayne Harris and J Balvin. Luka Sabbat opened the show in a leopard silk top and layers of chain necklaces. 

I was fortunate enough to cover my 3rd Ovadia and Sons collection. A collection that will be buzzed about for months to come. 

Ovadia and Sons FW16 NYFWM

I spent Tuesday afternoon at the Skylight Clarkson covering the Fall Winter 2016 collection for Ovadia and Sons. Shimon and Ariel create truly remarkable clothing, with such attention to detail and fabric.

The brothers weren't the only twins in the show. Twin models Torey and Khorey McDonald matched in pin stripe suits. This made fore some fun photos on my part.

Celebrities attendees included Victor Cruz, Devon Windsor, Colton Haynes, Eric Rutherford, Matt Harvey, Neil Patrick Harris, David Burtka and Vincent Piazza. Many came back backstage prior to the show to wish the brothers luck. After the show, they all came swarming back to rave about all the looks they can't wait to wear. Neil joked he "finally felt like a real model" as models politely asked for selfies and photographers snapped profusely.
