NY Fashion Week 2013: Jimmy Kimmel

back on september 12th, on the last day of NYFW my friend sent me this Jimmy Kimmel clip called "Lie Witness News - Fashion Week 2013". 

what a coincidence! I was actually there and noticed a film crew interviewing 

the posers standing outside Lincoln Center.

it was Sunday, say about 3pm and I stopped by to take a few picsof the 

nobodies that stop and want photog attention. but sometimes an actual celebrity will walk by.

it really is turning into a Circus of Fashion. now i don't mind actual editors, models,
and stylists dressing to impress but these other people,
not only are they dying to be "fashion famous" but have no clue of the industry itself.

smh. watch the video and you'll understand.

T Magazine: Karlie Kloss in Nicaragua

 

Read the Issue:

THE NEW YORK TIMES STYLE MAGAZINE
Edition: Winter Travel 2012
Cover: Model: Karlie Kloss wearing THE ROW
Place: Crater Santiago, Volcan Masaya, Nicaragua
Photography: Ryan McGinley

"The winter travel issue of T kicks off in Nicaragua, where the model Karlie Kloss explores the country's charms before the rest of the jet set arrives." 

I am beyond happy that The New York Times chose Nicaragua as one of their jetsetting options - Nicaragua is well endowed with virgin beaches, luxe hotels, friendly locals and tourists, volcanoes, green farmlands, and breathtaking views from San Juan del Sur to Matagalpa to Corn Island. I only hope future Style magazines as great and opinionated as TNYT continue to promote not only style but rare scenes that have been overshadowed by politics and constant fear of Latin America's security - which by the way, Nicaragua continues to be #1 SAFEST Country in Central America.

PS.

Dear T Magazine,

 Nicaragua also offers a wide span of emerging design talent such as Shantall Lacayo, Vicente Castellon, Marynes Arguello, ... perhaps you'll us a call next time your in town and let us know if you need pieces for your next styling session.

Best,
