Mona Fall 2013

Mona's latest fall collection is a perfect combination of spooky and sweet. This season designer Moriah Hemed was inspired by Tim Burton's classic creepy movies like Beetle Juice and Corpse Bride. The juxtaposition of creepiness against Mona's sweeter silhouettes are just like Burton's movies—slightly off putting, but a wonderful compliment to each other. The collection remind me so much of the shoot I did at Macpelah Cemetery, and I could definitely go on some fall adventures in these outfits. Maybe a trip to Arnold Rothstein's grave?

Fashion week is always a whirlwind, but the intimate Wolcott:Takemoto Spring 2014 presentation was a wonderful pause from the madness. Joy and Natasha have a knack for creating pieces that are quintessential Brooklyn babe. So simple and chic with classic tailoring, making every piece totally wearable. The Wolcott:Takemoto girl is the effortless beauty you see walking down the streets of Brooklyn that you kind of hate because you don't know how she does it. Lucky for us, Wolcott:Takemoto has launched an web store, so becoming that Brooklyn babe is just a few clicks away.

Samantha Pleet SS14

The idea of an earthly paradise is as old as scripture, and certainly not new to those of us toiling away in urban jungles like New York. I know I'm constantly searching for a real life escape to a place of Eden that will give me a moment of peace away from the madness.

I have yet to come across such place in my travels, but Samantha Pleet manages to bring utopia to us with her new "Arcadia" SS14 collection. Samantha never fails to impress with a continuation of her amazing signature prints, all of which she draws and designs herself. I can't get enough of the Mountain Stripe, which to me looks exactly like birch bark—my favorite tree.

More importantly, every garment is fit to perfection; each silhouette lending itself to it's wearers body. It's so rare to find a piece of clothing that has this much thought and care put into it. You truly get taken into Samantha's personal shangri-la when you put on her clothes, which is incredible and surreal. A feeling anyone—city dweller or not—will want to experience.
