While I don’t usually like to post editorials I haven’t had
a hand in making (there are more than enough blogs out there run by much better
curators than myself) I want to share one of my all-time favorite shoots of the
past five years. ‘Scene on the Steet’ originally ran in W Magazine the summer
before my senior year of high school.
I was coming back to North Carolina after
having spent my first summer living alone in New York City, and naturally I
thought I was, simply put, the shit. In my mind I was Daphne Groeneveld and Lindsey Wixon. I was meant to be
strolling up fifth Avenue in Prada and occupying Lower East Side street corners
in Marni mini dresses. It must have been some kind of awful mistake that I had
landed back in the doldrums of Raleigh!
Thankfully
I’ve made my way back to living (permanently!) in the city, but I still look at
these images for inspiration. Edward Enninful, the mastermind behind the
project, struck a key balance between Gossip Girl – tell me that is not Blair
and Serena in front of the Guggenheim?- and the grungier, downtown set. He
artfully matched every trend of the season to its corresponding Manhattan
neighborhood all with a distinct ‘girl about town’ feel to it.
