The Fashion Informer

TFI in The New York Times: NYFW

Four of my photos were chosen for The New York Times' Reader Photos section chronicling New York Fashion Week.  I have to say, taking photos was a lot of fun this season—and now I get why everyone's so obsessed with Tumblr. Check out the link above to see my shots from Richard Chai, Cut25, threeASFOUR and Julian Louie.

"Models of Perfection" for SHOWstudio

SHOWstudio recently invited The Fashion Informer's Lauren David Peden to contribute to the site's ongoing series, The Fashion Body, which has included films and essays by Louise Goldin, Anna Dello Russo, Steven Klein, Lily Cole, Lady Gaga, Gareth Pugh, Barnaby Roper, Craig McDean, Leisa Barnett, Cator Sparks, Tim Walker, Rick Owens, Alex Fury and Jessica Bumpus.  Our contribution is entitled "Models of Perfection," and explores what happens when a normal body encounters a fashion body.

The Fashion Informer on Full Frontal Fashion

Though TFI usually maintains a low profile (preferring to report on the story rather than be the story), we did want to share the lovely Full Frontal Fashion interview we did with our friend and colleague, Indigo Clarke.  Thanks Indi - and Happy Thanksgiving to all!
