New York Fashion Week AW 2013 and Paris Fashion Week SS 2014.....Friends

Friends: Hedvig Palm and Esther Heesch + Katya Riabinkina and Irina Nikolaeva + Agne Koncuite and Giedre Kiaulenaite.

Because coming together with friends and family (even if it is over Skype!) is what the next few days is all about :)

New York Fashion Week AW 2013....Agne

Lithuanian model Agne Konciute, after Jason Wu, NYC, February 2013.

This was the afternoon of the sleet-y, sting-y, rain-y weather conditions before Nemo finally arrived (I am not even sure how this photograph is (reasonably) in focus. I was shooting at a ridiculously low shutter-speed... In fact I think this may be the only photograph in focus from that afternoon!). Anyway, I adore her underwater/ sea creature umbrella: if you have to battle the elements, then you might as well do it with a brolly that makes you smile* :) 

Recreate Agne's look (kind of):

Parka/anorak: DKNY leather sleeve utility parka, Lot78 cinched waist parka,3.1 Phillip Lim drawstring taffeta coat, Michael Michael Kors studded parka, ASOS Parka with Borg lining, or Topshop Khaki Ovoid parka jacket

 Rag & Bone/JEAN The Plush legging jeans, Mother The Looker skinny jeans, or Current/Elliott The Legging Jeans

Rag & Bone Classic Newbury booties, Rachel Comey Daze mid heel booties, Acne Pistol leather ankle boots or ASOS Audio leather ankle boots

*I, of course, could never own an umbrella like this as for sure I would promptly leave it on the Tube, under a restaurant/cafe seat or in a cab ;) Cheap umbrellas ("10 euro, 7 euro....for you, today, only 5 euro!") purchased from shifty-looking street vendors on the rainy streets of any European city seem to be more my style!
