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.
Come shop Nicole Richie’s new limited-edition collection for Macy’s Impulse with me at the Macy’s on State Street. I’m hosting a bash to celebrate Wednesday September 12 from 5:30 to 7:30 in the Impulse department. The party is public, but if you want to RSVP (but you don’t have to) then you can join the public Facebook event here. Don’t forget to bring your friends – there’ll be tons of sweets and free drinks!
Plus, check out these fun videos I made with Macys to show how I’d style one piece – the asymmetrical feather-print dress – for 5 different days of the week. I also wanted to show off the fantastic city itself, so I worked with the crew and Macy’s to create a story arc spanning five Chicago neighborhoods.
Day 1 – The Loop
Day 2 – Wicker Park
Day 3 – River North
Day 4 – North Side Neighborhood
Day 5 – Gold Coast
