The crown jewel for all street-style photographers who shoot for Refinery29 is to land a coveted “Perfect Outfit Story,” which is sent to all email subscribers. The reason this is great for us is because normally for our photographs to be seen people have to actually visit Refinery29 and click through to the post. Plus, the New York-based creative directors have very high standards for both the outfits and backgrounds, which makes this not only an honor but a “seal of approval.” I randomly spotted indie fashion designer Lauren Gabrielson in Wicker Park last month. I love how she layered fur over a supple leather jacket. And lest we forget her vintage Chanel pumps which I first published a few weeks back. This truly is a perfect outfit.

I am so excited to share with you my latest corporate collaboration with the one and only American sportswear icon Michael Kors! This project has been in the works since early November, but because I had family in town for a whole week it threw the scheduling off. And that whole “full-time freelance” gig combined with 3:30 p.m. sunsets makes shooting street-style feasible only on weekends for me now. I just finished up shooting Sunday evening with
Jena Gambaccini, and had the extraordinary pleasure of working with
Andrea Kerbuski and
Chelsea Lavin earlier in the day. I love how each of these girls were able to integrate Michael Kors designs seamlessly into their own unique styles.
This project is designed to promote
Michael Kors’ Bag Alert, a fun interactive slide-show illustrating the way real everyday people rock Michael Kors handbags. Along with my friends Chelsea, Andrea, and Jena, I also photographed a few strangers who were already carrying Michael Kors bags. Make sure to check them out and please vote for me!
