Street Peeper puts down his favorite NY Fashion Week moments in living color.
For another installment of our Fashion Week Photo Diary series, we had street-style photographer Phil Oh (aka Street Peeper) share some of his favorite Fashion Week moments—now forever immortalized in his photos—including accidentally calling Nina Garcia Nina Simone, shooting the Teen Vogue crew paparazzi style, and ditching Marc by Marc for Popeye's. We had no idea he was such a charmer.
"Here is the Teen Vogue team chatting and laughing with someone else, and here's me being creepy and taking a photo of them chatting and laughing with someone else. They look cute though."
Left:"The Form show was the first one I went to at the rooftop of a midtown luxury condo. They were handing out brochures about HSBC's premium financial services, but I was too ashamed to ask if they did debt consolidation. Anyways, this is Taylor Warren in a Form dress and Easy Spirit by Tara Subkoff heels." Right:"The Sartorialist got this guy's photo already, and I was hesitant to ask too since Scott is a much better photographer than I am. But whatevs, I love this dude."
Left:"Kate Lanphear is always my favorite person to photograph. Why can't all fashion editors be as cool and easy-going as her." Right:"Entering the Preen show, I got this lady's photo. She made sure to tell me her last name was Geldof, just in case I might confuse her for the Peaches that did that 'suckin' on my titties' song."
Left:"After the 3.1 Phillip Lim show, here's Iekeliene Stange. I would've gotten a better photo but she was mobbed by sweaty paparazzi, Japanese tourists, and this older guy who had a Ziploc bag of photos of her with hand-drawn hearts around her. He was hyperventilating and giggling to himself calling her "my angel." Yikes!" Right: "This girl always gives great photo and I see her all the time at Paris Fashion Week, so I was psyched to see her outside the Marc by Marc Jacobs show. Also psyched that the show was at the Armory again so afterwards I could get a 2pc. combo (spicy, dark meat) with mashed potatoes and a cherry Coke from the Popeye's across the street."
