I stand where a great individual once stood. He cried, preached and inspired.
I had a dream.

Fey. She was the only person I looked forward to encounter each afternoon during Capsule Women’s Trade show. While others wore black dresses she blessed the concrete cuts of New York with her brave and eccentric outfits sticking out as how I would if I were in Victoria Secret. For lack of better sayings, she was a breath of fresh air after being deep under a repetitive cycle of chiffon dresses and Celine bags. The way she puts together her outfit amazes me, almost talking to me. Like a mood ring, her outfit represents, shows how she feels that day.
I decided to just upload her portrait for now, because I wanted you to remember her face and with her in your mind, to realize not to be afraid to dress how you feel.

Black is the new black. Played out at times, but when done correctly, an all black outfit can become the most simplest form of pure brilliance. Woven hat, lace top, sheer dress and a leather jacket, sounds repetitive on the streets of New York, especially during Fashion week, but I will state once again, when done right it looks magnificent.

She seems to be around 7 years old, just a few more years till she becomes fluent at deceiving others to believe in a lie. A few more years until she stops laughing at things in which she finds funny today. A few more years until she has her first taste at stress, but until then, keep on smiling.
We ‘adults’ laugh in average of 15 times a day, while a child like her will laugh nearly 300 times a day, what has changed from 7, 17 to 37? It seems like with every generation that passes, children grow up faster. Girls are quick to try on their mothers lipstick and boys are too embarrassed to ride with the tricycle attached to their Mongoose bike.
Life is too short to stop enjoying our time and not laughing. The small things in life are truly remarkable, so stop frowning and start showing your teeth in laughter.

People have a distorted perception of fashion and or style, like a woman wearing something straight out of an Elle magazine and not feeling comfortable in it. Garment are just clothes, like skin over our flesh. If we as human beings, people with emotion, can not freely express ourselves, like a man who won’t smile just because he’s in a bespoke suit and has to live up to the American Psycho character is just foolish.
Looking at this photo, I not only want you to see the beauty that model Xiao possesses, but instead understand she is wearing an over sized knit sweater and she feels comfortable and confident enough to smile and laugh with photographers and editors. She is herself and not just a woman wearing a costume.
Who do you think will feel more uncomfortable, Anna Wintour in Xiaos clothes or Xiao in Anna’s clothes? I would say Anna in Xiao’s clothes.
Think about what I’m saying here.

Xiao Wen Ju. She is my favorite model this season becase she is very cute, but posses the ability to ‘become’ eccentrically sexy.
The first time I met her was on Fashion Ave, New York last year. She came out of a building where a lot of models go in and out from, especially during fashion week. As she comes out the revolving doors, the first thing I notice is her petite frame covered by a over sized olive green parka. She seemed lost and asked me where a certain location was, I didn’t know. Her English wasn’t perfect, but I had a hint that she was scheduled for a casting within the hour.
After that moment, I saw her a few times again and also in editorials and countless advertisements. I had no idea she was a ‘big’ time model.
Besides our lack of communication, I understand that she is genuine and really sweet as a person. Best of luck to you Xiao!

As I find myself leaving backstage of a show, I forget which designer, I bump into a beautiful light skinned lassie as she smokes a fag with her model companion. As I walk by we lock eyes, she smiles as she breathes out a light fog of smoke. She held something, not physically but metaphorically. Maybe it’s the high cheeked beauty or the sexiness that was oozing out of her pores, but I was drawn in and determined to take a photo.
Looking at this photo now, I feel like I captured the moment and her attitude spot on and I don’t want to toot my own horn here, but I’m fuckin’ great! LOL! jk.
