Kristen Bateman at Rebecca Minkoff FW2021

I have been drawn to fashion writer Kristen Bateman’s cheerful Instagram feed during this pandemic – always full of her signature bright colors and cool beauty tricks. Her crossbody bag – which is not a cat, in case you were wondering – is also quite timely.

NYFW SS2021: Safety First, But Make It Fashion

Girl in a Face Mask, Alice + Olivia SS2021

Due to the pandemic, New York Fashion Week was an extremely scaled down affair this season, with only one or two live shows or presentations per day when there would normally be upwards of 10. It certainly felt like another loss in a year full of losses. But the few guests who did attend soldiered on in style.

Most of the fashion crowd has adapted to the new normal by embracing masks, treating them as a key element of an outfit by mixing and matching prints and colors. Some masks were distinct political statements, like Jason Wu’s, emblazoned with the words “Distance Yourself From Hate.” Some were more whimsical, like the Alice + Olivia masks printed with 1960s ladies. Also on the scene was a mirrored face mask and even a “Covidisor” plastic helmet. Over the top, perhaps, but that’s fashion for ya.

Masked Men, Union Square Greenmarket, June 2020

I had to stop and photograph these guys because of the Old Bay mask – love it! Not surprisingly, they, like me, are originally from Maryland, where Old Bay goes with (almost) everything. The mask on the left looks like camo from far away, but it’s actually a dog print.

Greenmarket Style, June 2020

For the past decade or so, New Yorkers haven’t dressed up much to walk around the neighborhood or run errands. That seems to be changing slightly as the economy opens up a bit more while gyms stay closed. This time we know for sure you aren’t schlepping around in yoga pants because you just came from a class. There was no class! We also may be finally tiring of athleisure.

Case in point is the Union Square Greenmarket, which is thankfully open, ready for business and well-managed for social distancing – and a good place to show off a real outfit. These two wore one print that keeps popping up, especially in face masks – tiny florals. Pretty and old-fashioned, they’re just what the summer ordered.

Natalya Bogacheva at Rick Owens SS2015

Natalya Bogacheva at Rick Owens SS2015

Moi, je ne suis pas Charlie.

I am not nearly as daring or provocative as the cartoonists and editors behind Charlie Hebdo. But like many I am drawn to the provocateurs. Artists and free thinkers are indelibly associated with the city of Paris and should be always. In the world of fashion they would be the punks or those who dare to wear the crazy things no one else would. At the Rick Owens show, Natalya Bogacheva was one of them, donning Thom Browne’s rabbit ears hat and mask to twirl in front of the Eiffel Tower. Vive la Paris.

Bryanboy at DKNY SS2015

Bryanboy at DKNY SS2015

There are certain people we photographers count on to bust out the wildest looks from the runway during fashion week, and Bryanboy is one of them. Though intricate and costly masks have appeared on runways at Maison Martin Margiela, Givenchy and Alexander McQueen, this one goes back to the club kid roots of this trend (and Lady Gaga). It’s an inexpensive piece by Kandigear that you can find on Amazon. The sneakers are Dior.
