NY Fashion Week F/W ’11 Show #6: Oscar de la Renta
Filed under New York Fashion Week F/W '11
Pardon The Silence…
Lately, it seems that my post frequency is a little on the scarce end- and I apologize. I’ve been so tied up with other matters in the real world that I’ve been tending to the blog less than usual. I’m still here though- and I have some fantastic things to share with you since my last major adventure of New York Fashion Week in February.
What to expect in the next few weeks:
1) The remaining two NYFW shows I’ve photographed- Oscar de la Renta & Narciso Rodriguez. My second time photographing both powerhouse designer collections- and the images are stunning. Just wait until you see my finale post!
2) The backstory + images of my very first fashion editorial shoot in NYC a few months ago- 8 pages and the COVER of a respected magazine!
3) My very first studio shoot in April- for a fashion designer’s lookbook.
4) Some really awe-inspiring Excursion pieces featuring New York City + concert performance from N.E.R.D
5) Some more of those good ol’ spheels of things I’ve learned on the journey that are worth sharing.
Oh…and I kinda need your prayers- I’m doing my first wedding in two weeks in Dallas, TX- wish me luck!

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?

ADVENTURES! Where IS Mister Levius? Five Unbelievable Months in Two Posts (Part 2)
Part 2: New York Fashion Week’s on the horizon- but stranded in London…did I make it against the odds?
I had only a week’s time to try and get everything together, and while the numerous NY Fashion Week invites brought me close, the perpetual money situation brought me so far. I began asking friends and family for help but no one was able to give in time. NYFW would start on a Thursday, and so by Friday I decided to do something absolutely crazy- travel to London’s Heathrow airport with $25 in my bank account and try to “make it happen.”
What was the outcome? It surely took a lot of “bloodshed” to get to glory. I approached a couple of airlines to try and fly that day or the next day with a round trip ticket, and they’d all give me a price that was non-negotiable. Thankfully I never had to disclose how much I could give based on my bank account…for I surely would’ve been laughed at.
I had no access to Internet but for 20 minutes because of lack of funds (Wi-Fi at Heathrow cost a fortune). The phone booths ate up my money when I tried to call to New York to let family know what was going on. It was just one link of unfortunate lack after another…and I ended up staying over at night in an airport with no booked ticket and no money, trying to make it happen.
Make that 2 nights. I spent a total of two and a half days sitting (and laying) on uncomfortable seats, with only 1 Nutri-Grain bar, some cereal crumbs, some cookies, and one to-go pasta dish to eat during that entire time. And if you think I was not doubting or wavering I thought whether this was worth it or not, you’d be dead wrong. This seemed so stupid! There were so many times where I had just wanted to give in and just go back into London, at least resting on the fact that I’d be right there for London Fashion Week. Yet again, something in me, I cannot develop into words, would “tug” at me and just wouldn’t let me give up. Something was making me stay, and as “over it” as I was, I gave in. It Continue reading

GRAND FINALE- Oscar de la Renta/NYFW Experience: Show #17!
All Images by Travis Levius. All Rights Reserved.
Introducing: The Main Event of the New York Fashion Week season.
This was my last show to photograph for New York Fashion Week, and it surely ended with a BANG- the front row was nothing but fashion industry all-stars (Andre Leon Talley, Rachel Zoe, Franca Sozzani, Joe Zee & Robbie Myers, Patrick Demarchelier, etc) and the models lucky enough to walk the de la Renta show have been the face of many of the high fashion campaigns you see in magazines and billboards. Don’t believe me? Check out the recent ads for Gucci, Burberry, Dior, and Chanel…just for starters. It was an exhilarating cap to an unforgettable journey- from college student, to pocket camera amateur, to Fashion Week photographer in one year.
What blows my mind the most is that it only gets bigger and better for me. I intend to be a FORCE in the fashion industry…and going through the financial hell to get to my passion’s beckoning call has proved well worth it.

NEW YORK Fashion Week- Show #15! Issac Mizrahi (September 16th)

Not many fashion designers can claim legendary status like Issac Mizrahi. I was overwhelmed with glee when my client secured the media credential for this New York Fashion Week staple. For a first-time rookie FW photographer, this was truly a big deal. After shooting the show, I believe it is also one of my strongest runway collections- the lighting, the clarity, the faces…MON DIEU!
