Only time will tell if the unseasonably warm heatwave is to blame for the daringly sexy bare midriffs spotted on a number of street-style stars, like Giovanna Battaglia. In the current sauna of Manhattan, even a few less inches of clothing can transform the unbearably sweltering into the pleasantly balmy.

Perhaps the maxim of ‘less is more’ has never been more true during New York Fashion Week…

Between her wide-brimmed hat, fish-print shirt and lovely tattoos, Parri was a natural choice to photograph. I spotted her on Damen while waiting for a table at Big Star. This is one of the few times being in line has led to a spectacular photo.

Parri’s bright smile and colorful style bring a beautiful sense of energy to the image. I have to say she’s one of my favorite photographs so far this summer.
