a fashion journalist at the times had been complaining that this fashion week was feeling more subdued, more corporate, less spirited than previous events at bryant park and other venues around town.
i can't refute or deny that assertion--not based on an hour or so, on a sunday morning.
but i do think that the new and improved lincoln center is very photographer friendly--you're free to roam around the expansive josie robinson plaza (though i did see a couple of people stumble nastily up and down the grand stair, so it's not without treachery) or set yourself up along the gangplanks (catwalks) that attendees, after decamping on columbus avenue, tend to traverse on their way to the main stage. if you're intrepid, there is better opportunity here than you could hope for.

there were many photographers, including the one and only bill cunningham, and many fashion blogger types (including the sartorialist and his famous photographer galpal, whose name escapes me at this moment)
bill cunningham...
scott schuman (a.k.a. the sartorialist). that girl is psyched that he took her photo...

like i said, i didn't stay very long. but here's a little of what i saw and liked. splashes of color and pattern:
love the red (though i find it as hard to photograph as white) and his pink socks...
mixed signals
she's mixing color AND pattern
i love her outfit, sunday casual but cool
i love her outfit, sunday casual but cool
can you see her blue eyeliner?
red shoes. love. her friend looks good in blue, too.
i like a lot of what is going on here, in theory.
the lana turner headband sort of works for her.
