Higher Sounds: Bonobo- Kiara
It’s true: I’m 150x more likely to discover/identify great music, old and current, from fashion industry events as opposed to the radio. This was the first song I heard after arriving from London, which kicked off the Pamella Roland show (see below) at NYC’s Lincoln Center, one of the newer tracks from electronic great Bonobo.
Great music, great fashion- what more could a audionymphomaniac-fashenthusiast want?

NY Fashion Week F/W ’11 Show No. 1: Pamella Roland

This was the first show I photographed after coming IMMEDIATELY from the airport (I carried my luggage from the London trip with me throughout the time at Lincoln Center!) It felt great to be back in my element…in the photo pit.

Intro: MISTERLEVIUSDOESFASHIONWEEK 2011
YOUR FASHION FIX HAS ARRIVED.
Waiting for two nights in Heathrow Airport to get a flight to NY for Fashion Week proved to be worth it and then some. Though I’ve missed several days, resulting in just seven shows photographed- the experience, the key people I’ve met during the industry week, and the wholly original runway work produced the second time around has brought me opportunities that have begun to swell with my time in NY (MUCH more on that later!)
I am proud to showcase the work of my 2nd Season…and I ensure you, there’s no “sophomore slump” here. In fact, the last show, “the Grand Finale,” I will post in the series will guarantee to blow you away (I added my touch of graphic design for a special show to produce some incredible runway art).
I might post a new show every week, or maybe after the 5th day, so be sure to check the site daily for some good ol’ runway inspiration. On Monday afternoon, PAMELLA ROLAND takes the stage as the first of the seven collections.
ENJOY…I know I did!

The Path: The Ridiculous Myth of Being “Self-Made”

It’s commonplace for societies to accept vocabulary that seem stat quo; hearing the term “self-made millionaire” or “self-made entrepreneur” for most of my life, then, caused no adverse or dynamic reactions. It wasn’t until I heard it mentioned recently, being on this journey of mines, that it seriously rubbed me the wrong way, especially as I’m on the same path that some may identify as a “self-made success story.”
Whatever you do- please- do NOT call me, or anyone else, “self-made.”
Being “self-made,” at least what it sounds like to me, means that your success and riches and big breaks came from you and only you- no help from anyone else. Sure, you may have devised the genius idea that’s now in demand by the millions, or became a catalyst to an impactful movement around the globe, but didn’t you have a team beside you to make these things possible? On a fundamental level, didn’t people encourage you at the beginning stages, helping you with resources and contacts while you were still building, offering advice when asked? Not even the headstrong Trump relied only on his own strength and diligence to reach the stratospheric heights of wealth and prestige he enjoys today.
Who is that unfortunate person to advance on his journey, make it to his destination, and not be blessed and transformed by incredible souls along the way?
Yes, I am where I am because of my commitment to hone my talent, my determination, and the hours upon hours I’ve Continue reading
