I was invited by model Lira Y to photograph a fashion show on 14th Street today by designer Viktor Luna. It was a very well thought out show with the models assembled as mannequins in stationary poses. The imagery was creative, and the visuals worked very well.
As the press release phrased it:
The designer's Fall/Winter 2011 collection consists of calibrated compositions, balancing military attire with soft femininity. The salient structure and purple, gold, and black colors are inspired by the royalty of the past. In contrast, the subtle delicacy and intricate detail of each garment create effervescence, alluding to universal comfort and empowerment. Tying in with this theme of time, the luxury and sheer sophistication of each garment undoubtedly manifest our prosperous future.
At the end of the show, I had a chance to speak to Viktor and congratulate him, and he turned out to be a really nice guy who seemed sincerely appreciative of my comments.
