New York Fashion Week 2016 Street Style Day 1

If you haven’t seen all my latest NYC Instastory posts, I suggest you jump on @heykarenwoo. There is way too much stuff to tell you and I really don’t know where to begin.

In a nutshell, since I’ve landed in NYC, I have been busy creating content for Samsonite; collaborated with the Ruby Canvas for the Benjamin Hotel; previewed Coach’s impressive “Varsity Shop” new collection (and even spoiled myself a limited edition, customised Saddle Bag which is only available in Soho NYC); finally met and caught up with Abigail, the CEO of St Giles Hotel Group for a nice dinner at the Sushi Roxx; and of-course roaming from street to street capturing my favourite NYFW Street Style looks.

Ok it’s 4:00am NYFW right now, so I’m going to keep this super short and we’ll talk more later. Enjoy xx

New Yorkers and their Monochrome at NYFW 2014

There is one thing you need to know about New Yorkers. They love their monochrome. As much as they love their colour and all sorts of textures, black and white is their NYC uniform.

Here are the highlights taken during New York Fashion Week.

Behind the Scenes at NYFW

The New York street style experience has raised the bar where the New Yorkers aren’t afraid to experiment with mixing colour combinations, proportions, patterns, layering, textures and crazy custom-made outfits. This is what I adore about fashion. The ability to express yourself, and not succumb totally to designer wear. Having said that, there was some guy who dressed himself as the “Where’s Wally” character and walked amongst the crowd with his staff which was pretty funny stuff. I also saw another guy dressed himself in those Chinese red, white and blue sack material which was designed into the full suit. Gosh, they would do anything to be snapped up.

Besides all the outrageous outfits, I came across a lot of buyers, designers and celebrities like Paris and Nikki Hilton who turned up, to be mobbed by more than 50+ photographers and tourists wanting to have their picture taken with them, or more accurately doing a “selfie” with the celebrity.

Check out this video filmed on my Samsung Galazy 5 phone to get a sense of what it’s like being the Hilton sisters.

 “Move away, move away!”

 

Now over at the Milks Studio, a mob of photographers were keen to snap up the infamous street style legend and Japan Vogue Editor, Anna Dello Russo.

Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week New York Street Style Details 2014

As soon as Melbourne Spring Fashion Week 2014 was over, I packed my bags, my Nikon D4 camera & 85mm lens and flew 24hours over to New York for fashion week. New York Fashion Week was epic. Lincoln Centre and Milk Studios were crowded with fashionistas, style bloggers, street style photographers, models, celebrities and hustlers. Every street style photographer was on high alert, hunting down the next celebrity or model to shoot, sometimes yelling at each other to get out of the way, but most of the time we kept our cool.

Below is a sneaky peek of some of my favourite street style details with more to come!
