New York Fashion Week is the most important fashion industry event of the season, allowing buyers, the press and celebrities to review designers’ collections in advance. Fall/Winter 2012 was held February 9-16, and, along with fellow Juut stylists Larissa Wong, Christy Dylo and D’Angelo Alston, I was fortunate enough to be there again for the backstage action. This season we styled Badgley Mischka, Betsey Johnson, the ViVA Girls and G.K. Reid for the Daphne Guinness film screening, Eighteenth, Christian Siriano, and Fabiola Arias.

None of us need to be reminded that we’ve only just escaped the influences of the AMC television series (which must not be named) set in the 60’s.
