Last week, Bryant Park was a green oasis filled with people milling about. This week, the construction began on those white tents that will enclose the Spring 2008 fashions. Next week, the fashion shows commence and lots of insiders and onlookers will be in attendance.

These signs were all over the gates around the park.

This is a shot from the entrance side. Usually, the fountain gushes out water and looks so big. Surrounded by the tents it seems dwarf-like.

These series of tents start from the entrance of the park and covers the whole lawn.

Sorry, that I couldn’t get a better shot of the entrance.

These images by Sebastien Maziere are absolutely beautiful. As the end of summer draws near, these pictures for some reason, make me want to frolic about in a party dress and enjoy the simpler times. Try to find those wonderful moments in whatever form you choose between all the hectic commotion that often fills our everyday life.

Stop. Breathe. Have a Happy Friday!

P.S. will try to have some images of Bryant Park up later today.

Fugahum’s collection is named Doppelganger (which is a word I have always liked; try saying that 5x fast) and they have extended the theme of the double into the styling and photography of the clothing.

Check out the shadows of the models.

It sort of reminds me of the Bram Stoker’s Dracula movie with Winona Ryder, Keanu Reeves and Gary Oldham where Dracula’s shadow is always doing some sort of menacing movement. Yes, it’s eerie but it completely ties into the theme of this collection.

Another item that I really like are capes and this royal blue is perfect for those chilly days that make up the Fall and the beginning of Spring.

I have a cape that is a thrift find but it is brown and not as nice as this one. Will keep my eyes open for something similar.
