If you were a harajuku girl that fell asleep one night in your cozy flat (injapanese city) and woke up in 1985 on the bowery, you might be scared. But how would you cope? by dressing the part of course!?

In Suspense
These girls are kind of working a '90s grunge vibe which isn't necessarily a bad thing. What I'm looking at here though is the suspenders. When I was in Madrid recently I saw an amazing pair of acid green cotton pants with suspenders. I tried them on in the store and while they were very "Y-3" they weren't enough "me" to justify buying them. If I had though, I know I'd keep at least one - if not both - of the suspenders down...but these aren't the only times I've seen suspenders so, like the overalls, I wonder if these are just blips on the screen or retro revivals?

Over-it-all?
I feel like I need to issue another trend alert: this time for overalls. I am seeing more and more of them. Okay, not every day. But probably once a week. And this is something I haven't seen in years. So...overalls –are they coming back? a good idea? or just a blip on the screen?

Seen at Rivington Hotel
Last night there was a little fashion show at the Rivington Hotel. This boy was in the audience but I liked the boxy jacket with the ripped jeans and boots...so here he is...photos from the show itself coming soon.

Baschti near the window
Baschti is looking beautiful in pale blue and sea green. And his sneakers are swell as well...and that's all I really have to say today :)

NYC nightlife icons
Yesterday I posted a photo of Patricia Field and received an interesting comment from a reader. She said she hated everything that Patricia was wearing but still thought she looked amazing. Part of what makes great style is this ability - to wear what you want and push boundaries of what others find acceptable and do it with such confidence that at best you get people questioning their own concepts of style, and at worst you don't care what others think. There were so many at Kenny Kenny's opening that successfully push these boundaries that I wanted to show a few more today.
Me with Kenny Kenny -love the topknot and eye makeup
Amanda Lepore is an iconic presence in NYC nightlife and always looks amazing. She is like a Barbie Doll come to life and is also extremely warm and unpretentious.
Vanity Society (on left) is a millinery and accessories designer as well as an entertainer and Patrick McDonald (center) is perhaps the most famous Dandy in New York and was recently on reality TV series Launch My Line. Vanity Society looks different but always dramatic every time I see him while Patrick has honed a very specific and sharp look. Two different tacts to create great personal style. (I don't know the lovely lady on the right!) Love or hate these looks, they're truly their own icons and for that I give them the mad props.

Patricia Field @ KennyKenny Opening
Not only do I love Patricia Field for dressing club kids through the ages but I love that she dresses like a rock star herself. The lavender satin motorcycle jacket is great but the jeans are beyond brilliant. I don't know if they came this way or she made them herself but I am utterly inspired. I dare you all to try this at home as well! And check out the detail shot below.

more trends coming to a city near you?
About a month ago I posted a photo of the elegant Houman Farahmand wearing rather high waisted pants - which I believe were leather but had a cut closer to leggings than trousers. At the time I thought they were a bit odd but Houman made them chic. Now I am seeing these pants on the left and am wondering if it's a trend that I've only just noticed. Whether it catches on or not it's nice to see risks taken. I also love the pale fedora worn with black...something else unexpected but successful.

street style @ green debate after party
I didn't meet anyone at the after party that was actually at the debate (myself included) but many people were wearing what could be considered recycled clothing. Like this boy's shredded tights over tights. And his tie-dyed frock with the fringe looks decidedly homespun...although the dying is too perfect so I suspect it is something more upscale. Either way, these two have fun and funky looks that work for them.

street style - manhattan hipster
I like to tease Williamsburg hipsters of all looking alike. (you know: big glasses, shaggy hair, skinny jeans) But Manhattan has its own brand of hipster that is similar but not the same. A little edgier and sleeker all at once. Kind of like this girl...
