Style On The Upper West Side

This week has been quite exciting with Advanced Style being featured in Sunday’s New York Times. If you didn’t get a chance to see the article in the newspaper here is a link to the online edition http://tmagazine.blogs.nytimes.com/2010/03/12/respect-your-elders/. It is so amazing to see the people I photograph being appreciated and being thought of as influencers because the definitely inspire me everyday.

Yesterday I stopped this stunning woman on the Upper West Side and asked her if I could take her photo. We talked about the New York Times article and she said that she loved what I was doing. I just love when women wear silk scarves in the hair and this woman’s pink lipstick is an added touch of flair to her chic outfit.

Museum Style

I saw this gentleman outside of MoMA and I asked him if I could take a quick photo. He was very charming and a great model as well.I told him that I loved his hat and that when I was a kid I used to sneak into my grandfather’s closet and steal all of his old hats and walk around the neighborhood feeling very distinguished. I love hats to this day!
