Good luck getting your hands on this fantastic Kenzo Tiger Embroidery Sweatshirt. It’s already sold out online and back ordered in every size. Seen here on Russian model Elena Perminova and prominent fashion blogger Andy Torres of Style Scrapbook, it’s already the hottest outerwear for Fall 2012. Opening Ceremony’s Humberto Leon and Carol Lim resuscitated Kenzo from obscurity after its heydey during the 1970s, bringing the label’s enthusiastic spirit to a new generation. Vintage Kenzo pieces have long been prized treasures of the fashion set, so it’s only fair us young’ins can get in on the action!
I photographed Alexander Wang’s niece Aila outside of his spring 2013 presentation. She was surprised when photographers swirled around her in a tornado of shutter clicks and held her hands in front of her face the entire time. Girlfriend better get used to it with New York’s most popular designer as her uncle. The show hadn’t started yet so I had no idea that I was looking at a one-of-a-kind, bespoke python snakeskin dress from the collection. It wasn’t until after I saw the Style.com photos (wahhhhh, I’m not cool enough to be invited) I realized “holy shit, that toddler was wearing custom Alexander Wang!”
Impeccably styled for the season – Nike sneakers and a Chanel chain purse with cool Wayfarer sunglasses. Sneakers are still having a serious fashion moment. There’s a modern glamour about pairing sneakers with high fashion, a coolness that takes a dose of confidence to pull off. It’s beyond adorable how Alexander Wang’s Spring 2013 collection’s signatures – floating hem and cutout collar – were translated for such a tiny customer.

If there’s an “It” shoe at New York fashion week, these beautiful floral-detailed sandals by Peter Pilotto for Nicholas Kirkwood with a lucite heel are it. Literally.
