Maddie in J.W. Anderson

Maddie in J.W. Anderson

September 6, 2012

As the first person I spotted during this New York fashion week, it’s only fair that Maddie’s photo be posted first. Well, that and the minor detail that these are the coolest shoes on the planet. J.W. Anderson makes killer clothes and his accessories are no less innovative. He collaborated with ALDO on this sweet pair of pumps, which retain the colorblocked awesomeness and thoughtful design qualities his pieces are known for. I wasn’t even in “hunting mode” when I saw Maddie, as I was on my way to get a blowout for Fashion’s Night Out festivities. This, my friends, is why I always bring my camera with me.

Off to New York Fashion Week!

Off to New York Fashion Week!

Anna Dello Russo

I’m so excited to leave for New York fashion week tomorrow evening! I’ll be in New York until Monday afternoon, when I return to Chicago. To celebrate I am publishing this never-before-seen photo of Anna Dello Russo goofing off with her friend, who’s rocking quite the mean Alexander McQueen ring! Now that I have a “real” job, I feel limited in how many days I can responsibly take off without negatively impacting my team. Oh hai thar adulthood, it’s me, Amy.

Karrin from Style Sound

Karrin is a dear friend of mine since my days at Michigan State. Karrin and her (now) husband Tyler moved Chicago about a year ago. I mean, that’s what most Big Ten grads with ambition do, right? Move to the city? I’ve been telling her for years to start a fashion blog and she finally did! It’s called Style Sound. She and her friend Haley, who lives in Houston, explore fashion and their lives in new cities. I brought her along to North Coast Fest to help me shoot street-style. It was so much fun photographing fashionable festivalgoers with an old pal!
