A Day in a life of a MBFWA Street Style Photographer

I had the pleasure of befriending, sharing food and working alongside with such a friendly, talented and hard working bunch of artists – fashion bloggers and street style photographers at MBFWA. We were always on the go, on guard to snap up the next fashion forward person; sometimes hidden and crouching in the most awkward positions; squeezed out of the media pit; and running on empty stomaches. Thankfully I had my best friends, a pair of Adidas sneakers and “What Would Karl Do” tee to keep me comfy and cool.

Foureyes – Mino Kim

 

“Wear something that is YOU, something that you feel comfortable in and reflects who you are.”

 

Mino wore an outfit which he designed in collaboration with Daniel K. Since he loves bold colours, he saw it as an opportunity to create exactly what he wanted, and what better colour than red!

Mino wore another outfit that he partly designed himself (the pants and the shirt) and paired it with a jacket that he fell in love with by Damir Doma that he bought on a recent trip to Sydney.

Mino, where do you draw your inspiration from when putting your outfits together?

I like to stand out and wear bold and unique pieces so for me my inspiration is always coming up with something that matches my personality and mood that day.
 

What did you enjoy most about MBFWA2014?

My highlight was definitely getting to show people my work on the runway as part of the New Generation show. I collaborated with NZ brand Daniel K on designing various pieces for her collection. The whole experience was such a thrill that I can’t wait to do it again. Check our video out here

 

What do you love most about photographing people and blogging about fashion?

I love the variety of what we do and love to meet people along the way. The online medium is so amazing to me as it allows you to reach people you could never previously reach with more traditional forms of media.

 

Well I guess that’s it from the guys from Foureyes. So go check out their blog and get their book! ACDM, thanks so much for giving me a sneak peek into your fashion lives and getting in front of my camera. It was a blast getting to know you and watching you work your camera (hey I’ve got pics to prove it too)!

Looking forward to catching up with the boys at our next fashion event! x

Foureyes – Danny Simmons

 

“Wear what you like, but push yourself and don’t be afraid to experiment.”

 

Danny created a very simple look with a white neoprene top with zips at the elbow, plain black pants and a custom made saturno hat in rabbit fur felt.

Danny, where do you draw your inspiration from when putting your outfits together?

All over the place! I usually find one item or an image I like and try to build an outfit around that.
 

What did you enjoy most about MBFWA2014?

Definitely the rush of a busy week immersed in fashion. Shooting heaps of street style, attending shows, blogging and trying to fit in some fun after it all. It’s a tiring week but really exciting at the same time.

 

Hey, I heard you guys have published a book. Where can I get it?

Yes! Grab your copy here!

 

 

FourEyes – Chin Tay

 

“Always keep a sticky roller handy. Fur and lint is no good.”

 

Chin wore a sand-coloured oversized tee from Zambesi over a simple navy shirt and shorts.

Chin was head to toe in one of his favourite NZ labels, Kowtow.

Chin, where do you draw your inspiration from when putting your outfits together?

It often starts with a particular item of clothing like a hat or a shoe that I create a look around.

 

What did you enjoy most about MBFWA2014?

I loved the Haryono Setiadi show and the amazing street style.

 

What’s your favourite part of your website?

I’m loving the new section we have on the FourEyes blog where we get to share (over-share?) what we’ve been up to each week.
