noel vallens: mr. newton street style

on our first day of the weardrobe conference, our first item on the agenda was to be photographed by mr. newton in gramercy park.  i’m seen here, clinging to the gate, because we got kicked out of gramercy park, not once, but twice.

and here i am again, this time with the lovely greta.

this dress is a favorite of mine, and halfway because of the process it took for me to get it.  in a ny thrift store, i eyed a girl across the room trying it on and staring at herself, adjusting, making faces, staring.  i really wanted the dress, but i knew as soon as she smelled competition, she’d buy it immediately.  so, for nearly 15 minutes, i stayed far away, sneaking glances…like a wolf stalking its prey.  finally, she put the dress down and started browsing around, and when i felt she was a safe distance away i grabbed it up.  a few minutes later, when i was trying it on, i could see her little wolf eyes peering at me from around the rack.

since then, i’ve been in awe of this little dress and its amazing fit, and have tried to base some creations on it’s design, but to no avail.

seen here with style pill and blue collar catwalk.

and rebecca, this one is for you.  everyone.  jumping.  at the same time.
