TONIGHT IS A MAJOR EVENT IN FASHION! Check the details below and get out, go shopping and have some fun too.
In the United States, American Vogue has joined with NYC & Company, the City of New York, and the Council of Fashion Designers of America to enliven again the consumer spirit that churns the economy and boosts the local industry of America’s fashion capital, New York City. Next only to finance, fashion is the second-largest sector of industry in New York City—the headquarters of more than 800 fashion companies employing 175,000 people and generating $10 billion in total wages. At City Hall’s May 20 press conference to announce Fashion’s Night Out, Vera Wang said, "To put it bluntly, if people don’t shop, people lose their jobs."
The first evening of New York Fashion Week, Fashion's Night Out will encompass festivities galore— from inventive window displays to model and celebrity appearances. Champagne may flow; hors d'oeuvres may be passed. Rumors of musical performances, downtown barbecues, shoe capsules, limited-edition rings, and sweepstakes abound. Apparently there will be makeovers, brow bars, and haircut stations at sundry spots, too.

Free Fashion’s Night Out Shuttle Bus
During Fashion’s Night Out, there will be free shuttle buses running in Manhattan 6–11pm. These special double-decker buses have been generously provided by Gray Line New York and Payless ShoeSource as the official ride of Fashion’s Night Out.
There will be uptown and downtown bus loops provided. Both bus loops will make their first two stops on Sixth Avenue between 35th and 36th Streets, and across from the Payless ShoeSource store at Fifth Avenue and 39th Street. Riders can transfer from an uptown bus to a downtown bus, and vice versa, at either of these locations. After each bus completes its loop, it will return to the starting point and continue the route again.
Below is a list of the downtown and uptown stops that each bus loop will be making. Just hop on and hop off for free at any stop. Look for the Gray Line New York buses with Fashion’s Night Out signage on the front.

Marc Jacobs has decided it's time for fashion to be fun again and in a very 80's inspired sorta way. I see lots of colors, shoulder pads, panchos and such. I don't pretend to know what to think, I just share this stuff. What do you think ladies?
Damn I'm gettin up there when I am seeing all these different fashion trends for the 2nd and for somethings even a 3rd time now. So am I that old or has creativity taken an extended vacation? Either way J Crew has some cool retro knit ties. They're takin me back, but with a little casual style. You can rock these with an array or casual looks. Don't be surprised if you see one on me.

I am just as interested in what you're doing as I am in sharing my work and thoughts on the world. So in the next few weeks I'll be introducing some new sections to the blog that involve participation from you.
The first of these is Personal Pop Style. So starting today keep an eye open for yours truly or other Urban Pop Life photographers roaming the streets in search of cool people with personal style. In these hard finacial times I am not focused on labels, just style. If you're not in a city that I'm in that's ok, you can send me your random shots of you in that great outfit that everyone needs to see ,or that beautiful girl or boy you saw on the street who demonstrated simply great personal style. Again...I'm not so much focused on labels or stereotypical beauty as much as I am interested in a confident, stylish and classy representation of self.
Start looking out for me or sending the images in today and if the image you send in is not of you, make sure you get permission to use the persons image and send a statement of that fact along with the photo. Please include your name and contact information like your facebook or myspace page URL (not required).

Who cares about dismal sales for December and profits possibly taking a hit, Louis Vuitton and designer Marc Jacobs have launched of a limited-edition capsule collection of accessories and apparel inspired by artist Stephen Sprouse.
The collection is timed to coincide with a new book on the late artist by Roger Padilha and Mauricio Padilha and a retrospective at New York’s Deitch Gallery.
Vuitton executives acknowledged that the luxury goods landscape has changed in recent months, but expressed confidence that the $1180 Day-Glo graffiti Speedy 30 bags and $755 neon slingbacks would attract customers. “I think we’ll be lucky if we have any stock left in the next month and a half,” Daniel Lalonde, president and chief executive officer of Louis Vuitton North America, says. A spokeswoman for Louis Vuitton would not say how many of each item would be produced for the Sprouse collection.
“You’re either going to love it or you’re going to hate it. I’m fine with either reaction,” Mr. Jacobs said of the new collection.
As for the impact of the global economic crisis on his work for next season, Mr. Jacobs said only this: “I’m a thoughtful person, so I take in everything that’s going on in my own world and the world around me.” — contains some information from a story by Elva Ramirez (Heard on the Runway)

So we have this conundrum that fashionistas and the industry that employs them must face: How do you reconcile the idea of pushing high fashion and haute couture in the present economic and philosophical environment?
Not only are we clearly in a recession, but the very nature of capitalism, consumerism and greed are all topics for heated debate and conversation. As human beings (and Americans) we most certainly appreciate and desire nice things. In and of itself this is not an evil thing. Our economy is driven by the exchange of goods and services for cash so unless someone comes up with some new system over night we'll need to repair what we've got. However, who's to say how much is enough? How much is too much? Where does necessity end and opulence begin? Where is the line and should it ever be crossed?
I hate to drop this on you, but I DON'T HAVE THE ANSWER. I have always been a practical guy and satisfied with enough to take care of myself and my family. I may never understand the desire or need for a $10,000 wrist watch or a $100,000 car, but I also don't feel the need to tell someone else what works for them either. I do wonder about the message we send to each other and our children in the choices we make and the images we create. However, as an artist I do appreciate beautiful things and images of beautiful things. Organic and natural or man made and mass produced; beautiful is beautiful.
Dior Homme has come out with the Lumiere du Nord collection of accessories for fall/winter 2008/2009. The collection consists of 2 patent calfskin shoes, a boot and high-top sneaker. There are also four men’s bags including a messenger, shopper, backpack and a weekend bag. In addition to the patent calfskin all accessories in the Lumiere du Nord collection feature silver finishes.
Peep these and enjoy. While you contemplate the questions I asked. I'd love to hear back from you.

Introducing Brandon Claybon. He's a model from Memphis, TN. He is featured as a Bleuberry on the Bleu Magazine website (http://www.thebleumag.com). I shot these images for Bleu this summer. Keep an eye open for Brandon. He's an old soul in a young man, he's a hard working, focused, polite and driven dude. He's got a great commercial look and I see the potential for a bright future. What do you think?
Enjoy.
Yeah I know they aren't brand new, but I still love 'em. These hot ass kicks from Alejandro Ingelmo are FIYAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I shot these in my studio earlier this summer during the " No Shade" shoot.
It was a busy summer for me. One of the things I did is to shoot the launch campaign for a designer tee shirt line called Eternal Bachelor. The shirts are quality and the shoot was a lot of fun.
Thanks to my assistants Ta'ri B and Calvin for all their help. Congrats to the creator of the line Fohat Aird on a job well done and thanks for thinking of me to shoot the images. Special shout to Franz for the great catering and Dakota who styled the shoot.
The website was designed by Adam Benjamin Irby for OHDWD.com.
