Edun relaunched with a show set under the High Line in Chelsea. The models looked as if they were strutting in from the street. The collection was beautiful — flowy dresses, African beading, wearable prints, khakis and modern takes on wardrobe basics. The men were all ripped up and disheveled, just like we like them…
Thought green was appropriate for the first day of The GreenShows. I found this dress at Guvnor’s Vintage Thrift in Park Slope, one of my fave places to shop for vintage. I think it was $27, definitely one of my best vintage finds ever. The boots are another, scored at Beacon’s Closet this weekend for $34.95 (more pics to come).

Details from my outfit for opening night of The GreenShows. Military, buttons, wrap belt (that’s really a scarf) & lace stockings.
Backstage before Luis Valenzuela at The GreenShows. The hair was big and very teased. The makeup was classic vampy, albeit done with all natural eco products (by a guy with fabulous tattoos). The models were young, some a bit much so.
This is what I wore for Fashion’s Night Out, seriously high-waisted jeans. Hello curves! I can barely breathe (or sit), but I feel like a totally cool 70s chick, so it’s worth it for a night. Maybe they just breathed less back then? Scored them at that lovely LES thrift store I’ve been having so much luck with lately.
FNO was a zoo. Next year I will be doing Fashion’s Night In.
