The Photodiarist In Color

Dash

New York: Bryant Park

Inspiration: Today's the last day of New York Fashion Week, so I stopped by to see what I could see.  And then I saw him. All paisley-ed out.

Pink

New York: Bryant Park

Inspiration: Bravery.  The kind that it takes to step out of the house rocking a pink pinstriped suit and matching fedora. Confidence.  The kind that one needs to carry this overwhelming pinkness as though it belonged in a boardroom.

Stripes on Stripes

New York: Bryant Park

Inspiration: The iconic fashion risk-taker, Hamish Bowles, who graciously allowed me to take a few photos while we were both standing in line at a refreshment kiosk in the park.

Red

New York: Bryant Park, New York Fashion Week

Inspiration:  The "back door" of the tent was Central Station for fashion bloggers and celebrity watchers. I enjoyed watching the bloggers and watchers more than the models and celebrities.  

How about Electric Blue?

New York: Bryant Park, New York Fashion Week ("back door" of the tent)

Inspiration:  Woo hoo. Electric Blue.  

White and Apple Green

New York:  Bryant Park, New York Fashion Week

Inspiration: Even though fall is near, I love her fresh, white look with a touch of apple green. It's hard to see in this picture, but even her glasses matched the hue of her stockings.  

Meanwhile, in another part of town . . .

New York:  Washington Square Park

Inspiration:  As fashionistas and their followers gathered under and around the tents at Bryant Park for NYC fashion week, the rest of the city went about its business not giving a hoot about Derek Lam's short shorts, DVF's amazing new prints and Preen's puffy, ruffly dresses.  

Black

New York: Bryant Park, Fashion Week

Inspiration:  Black. My favorite. And this girl, in her black Herve Leger dress and old school Ray Bans, has that thing.  That cool factor.

Persimmon

New York: 40th & 5th Avenue

Inspiration: One of my favorite colors. For some reason, I am challenged when it comes to wearing 100% bright color.  When I add a brilliant hue to my outfit, it's always paired with a neutral one.  With her sunny hair, I think that she carries these colors well.

Purple

New York:  39th and 5th Avenue

Inspiration:  The color of royalty. No wonder. It's such a rich, powerful color.
