on my last day in new york, i left manhattan for brooklyn to shoot with kayla. we wondered through the main street of gates avenue with a bag filled with printed tees, sitting on stranger’s house stairs and then took shelter outside a child care centre when it began to rain (hence the wet patches and wet hair in the two portraits in front of the brick wall). we watched it pour for a while, but eventually i shot anyway because my camera’s been through worse weather conditions. after that, the sun began to make a cameo now and then. that day i also discovered a brilliant vintage shop in brooklyn, where everything was cheaper than $20. i visited during their ‘half price off everything’ special and it was heaven. i took the subway back to my hotel and i am still so proud of how i got back: purely blindly guessing all my transfer trains.

that night was the wrap up party and we had drinks in the library room @ the hudson. the next day everyone was heading to different places. we laughed, talked in circles and afterwards, jess gave us the biggest hug i’ve probably ever experienced. i still don’t know how to exactly describe my time at NYFW but this video pretty much sums up the amazing craziness:
