Fashion Week Street Styles

Fashion week street style keeps the eye educated. It is the time when women with taste and the money to buy taste, strike poses whenever physically possible. Capturing street style takes energy, agression, and chutzpah, which creates an increasingly blurry line between photographers and paparozzo. Needless to say, however, their efforts are changing the way that we think about fashion. Although their subjects hardly represent "street" style, they are making waves by pushing the creative envelope and creating a new level of fashion consciousness.

High Line Street Style

The High Line is one of those projects that sounds great, too great, so you assume it will never get built. There will be budget cuts or community opposition or union negotations, so when it The High Line opened in June of 2009, it felt like a miracle- right when New York needed one. It is a park for promenades, a place to walk arm and arm, and a place to take pictures. My favorite part about these photographs are the passerbys, the pedestrians caught unknowingly on film.

Why I Love Architectural Renderings: The Low Line

Feeling bad about the European debt crisis, the Tea Party, that chub that just won't go away? Check out these architectural renderings. It's a design for the Low Line (technically the Delancy Underground), a conceptual park to be built in the abandoned trolley terminal on the Lower East Side. The architecture firm already has the green light from the MTA, who currently owns the property and are beginning the process of gaining community approval.

The design will turn this:

Into this:

So while architectural renderings might simplify the world into architectural ideals of light, space, and attractive multicultural people- I bet you feel better now.
