ENCENS/ATELIER NEW YORK event celebrating the launch of nº24: Dries Van Noten
Topnotch menswear store in NYC x Topnotch fashion publication, perfect way to kick off NYFW
Walking into Atelier, is an experience within itself, however throw in a few projected images from ENCENS, some Matthew Ames, un peu de Damir Doma, Sybille and Samuel, the Atelier boys, and you’ve found yourself in a chic vortex of capes and drapes.
The party was to celebrate the launch of ENCENS Nº24, which explored the work of Dries Van Noten (it will be sold at Atelier). The turnout and the atmosphere were great and the issue is PHENOMENAL. It was such an honor seeing/meeting the people behind the magazine I love dearly. Samuel and Sybille are two of the most amazing, talented, and sweetest people I have ever met. Meeting them was truly a highlight. I have tons of respect for them (search “encens” in the search box, it comes up more times than you can count).
Matthew Ames, whose work I cannot get enough of (one of my favorite designers, he’s all up and down this blog), was also present at the party. He is incredibly humble and down to earth. I feel so connected to his work and his aesthetic. The voluminous, organic shapes are so beautiful and fluid; stunning pieces of work. I’m so excited to see what he’s come up with for spring/summer 2010.
People like Samuel Dria, Sybille Walter, Karlo Steel, et al (people who have a sharp eye on fashion and a very focused aesthetic) inspire me in every facet of my approach to fashion. Whether it be the way I dress, or my writing, its all a manifestation and translation of bits and pieces I’ve taken away from these people. Not to get all kleenex on you, but I can’t say thank you enough to those people. It’s an even bigger reward to know that the people I admire so much also support me. All the support I’ve received over the months (from everyone who reads the blog) means a lot to me. I truly appreciate it!
Speaking of support…
someone book my amazing friend/colleage, William Streng! So much potential! He closed the Odyn Vovk show and did such an amazing job! It came so natural to him (first time on the runway)! DEMONNNNN
