See the red in my <a href="http://www.thenycstreets.com/post/24294113013/weekend-wear-i-5th-avenue" target="_blank">previous post</a>? Red always makes me feel happy and bold.

There were several presentations going on simultaneously - Tim Hamilton Redux, Erickson Beamon, M. Patmos, John Bartlett, Libertine, etc. There was great energy on the 8th floor of Milk Studios - the models weren’t afraid to jump around, dance, and have fun with the presentation. There was music, drinks, and the presentation felt more like a fun party with beautiful and colorful people and clothes than a presentation which was a nice way to end the first night of fashion week (before the real parties …) There were also women in the presentation but I didn’t capture them as much. There wasn’t a huge difference in the menswear and womensear, they were the same idea just suited for each gender. I would love to wear everything at this presentation and now associate it with a lot of good feelings and fun! As far as I know, Tim usually shows his mainline and inserts some pieces from Redux (his lower-priced line) but this year, he showed only Redux.</p> <p>See the lookbook and review by Maya Singer <a href="http://www.style.com/fashionshows/review/F2012MEN-THREDUX" target="_blank">here at style.com</a></p> <p>I’m going to slowly try to ID all the models and add them into the post. </p>http://www.thenycstreets.com/post/24164274985http://www.thenycstreets.com/post/24164274985Thu, 31 May 2012 20:53:00 -0400tim hamiltontim hamilton reduxreduxnyfwmadefw12fashion weekmenswearwomenswearfashionriver viiperisebastian sauvewilly cartierJere­mie Laheurtemitch bakerNicola Wincenc<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m4vlfkazo51qki8a1o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Union Square 05.30.12</p>http://www.thenycstreets.com/post/24118471177http://www.thenycstreets.com/post/24118471177Thu, 31 May 2012 03:14:00 -0400stylestreet styledetailsmixing and matchingunion squaresnapshots<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m4roo553SH1qki8a1o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><strong>Ondria Hardin at Ford Models outside the tents NYFW FW12</strong></p> <p>I’ll be posting maybe one more model profile soon and then photos from a few of the shows I went to.</p>http://www.thenycstreets.com/post/24068984563http://www.thenycstreets.com/post/24068984563Wed, 30 May 2012 12:54:44 -0400ondria hardinford modelsmodelsnyfwfw12<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m4rnjpnopv1qki8a1o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><strong>Beautiful Kendra Spears (Next Models) outside the tents NYFW FW12</strong></p> <p><strong><br/></strong>Kendra has a great smile and personality. I think she’s got an all-American feel on the outside but then you see her work and how much of a great model she is. I really love her classic look in the <a href="http://models.com/work/emporio-armani-emporio-armani-ss-12-1/75395" target="_blank">Emporio Armani S/S 12 campaign</a> (click to see) but especially in the “Two for the Road” editorial by Will Davidson in the September 2011 issue of Harper’s Bazaar Australia with Karlie Kloss on the cover. <a href="http://models.com/work/harpers-bazaar-australia-two-for-the-road/67942" target="_blank">See the story here.</a> I’m so glad I have a copy of the magazine! I think she exudes a versatile, timeless beauty here. She’s also got a sleek, sexy side to her recent editorial <a href="http://models.com/work/numero-autofocus" target="_blank">“Autofocus” by Rene Habermacher in Numero May 2012.</a> Kendra has the personality and the looks and I’m sure she’s here to stay. She recently walked the <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KGjvZaanRGQ&feature=share" target="_blank">Chanel Cruise Versailles 2013</a> show and I can’t wait to see what she walks in the couture weeks coming up.

I think I’ve said this a lot but I detest the ostentatiousness of “fashion” sometimes. I just like clothes. I like to study what people wear, present people of New York, and hopefully flatter them a bit and make them happy!

(Of course now that I’m concentrating, I felt like making a post : ) ) I don’t mind because it keeps my mind more balanced on important things. I’m not exactly sure what I’ll be doing after I graduate from college, I have a some options so I’m thankful for that. I’ll always be shooting and slowly figuring out what I really want to do. I have some projects coming up which I’m excited about, I’m just trying not to get burnt out too early. </p> <p>That said, here’s a Instagram post on some random things in my life lately - I feel as if social media, blogging, and the internet has made society so self-absorbed but I suppose that’s just the way society is going. As long as we are aware and balance this cyber life and identities with our real life identities and the mish-mash identity it’s created I think it’s okay. I try to make everything I post have a little bit of a meaning, and story, and lesson I can tell other people. - I have just included instagram photos of places, no people, so hopefully you find something inspiring in the village that you never saw before and can go check it out! </p> <p>I also detested Instagram at first, it’s ruining “true” photography just like digital but as long as I don’t take it too seriously and use it for it’s pros I suppose it’s okay … gotta breath : )</p> <p>I think I might be moving my URL to blog.melodiejeng.com and moving my Facebook page/name as well, so I’ll be “working” at Melodie Jeng Photography … we’ll see. I’m going to try and build my book this year because ultimately I want to be a photographer, not a blogger. </p> <p>Oh… my instagram username is <a href="http://statigr.am/user/meljeng" target="_blank">meljeng</a></p>http://www.thenycstreets.com/post/22637756629http://www.thenycstreets.com/post/22637756629Tue, 08 May 2012 00:40:00 -0400instagrammelodie jengen-usnonadult
