No Weeping for this Willow

Had the best time at Australian designer Kit Willow’s show last week at Exit Art. I bumped into a photographer friend who pulled me into the pit and let me take pictures of the Willow show with his spare camera. It was such an interesting change of perspective watching the show from that end of the runway. Big name models strutted in upbeat/ updated versions of what we love Willow for-gentle and dreamy draping, intelligent tailoring, and a bright palette.  

Here are some from my afternoon in the the life of a fashion week photographer:

Post Wang Post

I showed up early in order to avoid the groupies outside. This ended up being the best idea I’ve had all week. Not only did I beat the crowds outside, but I got to watch the entire run-through with Alex himself sitting front row as his girls strutted by. Really amazing to get tosee it all close up and observe Alex for a few minutes before such an important event.

The show took place at pier 94 which is a massive old airplane hanger. The runway was concrete and y-shaped which was wet all through the center, ringing true to Wang’s edgy aesthetic.

The collection was brilliant. He combined 90's vampire-esque pinstripes, studs, thigh high socks, bootcuts, backpacks (with flowing chiffon scarves), and chunky boots that reminded me of something I had in elementary school. Very updated ‘The Craft’ with finer tailoring.

Such a treat to see Freja, Agy, and Abbey walk as well as Jessica Miller’s quiet return to the catwalk. Lots of love to m.k. for making it all possible.
