Victoria Young | Back to School Inspiration

With NYFW only two-and-a-half weeks away, all the amazing back to school editorials and all the buzz about Marc Jacobs going to Dior, this image of Victoria after the Miu Miu FW11 show popped into my head. You see, I'm currently in search of a cool varsity jacket for fall's first cool breezes. And, a pair of Mary Jane/good girl pumps like these Louis Vuitton honeys that Victoria snapped up post show will contrast the stilettos that I wear on the nights when I'm not so nice (wink). And if SS12 is indeed Marc's last collection for Louis Vuitton, then it's time to acquire a memento or two.

MFWF11 ♥ CRUSHING HARD FOR VICTORIA YOUNG

I was really inspired by Victoria's style this past fashion month. I loved her interpretation of all the season's trends. Above, she took neon to a nice place by keeping it monochromatic with matching hat, jumper, earphones and eyeglass cord. Plus, the look couldn't be styled better. The delicate ruffles of her blouse combined with the intense neon and black leather screams cool.

And I love her approach to retro dressing. Fifties inspired? Pffff, this look is so 2011.

And who doesn't love a edgy-chic varsity girl? Can't wait to see you next season V!!!

"Love" and admiration

Some of the most amazing stylists on the face of the planet, I greatly admire the talent of team Love. I also admire the level of camaraderie that they share. Their giggles and laughter always make me smile (you know I'm a sucker for happy moments). Thus, snapping images of them has become quite a treat for me during fashion week. Here are a few of my favorite pics from recent fashion weeks.

Victoria and Katie arrive at D&G Men's Spring 2011. The first image of a fashion week is always exciting. About three months pass during each fashion week, so there is always a certain level of excitement when you first see favorite subjects after such an extended period.

Victoria and Katie have a "grand" time outside Armani- pun totally intended.



Cool custom jacket painted by a friend.

Paris Fall 2010 was my first season covering the Paris shows. This is my first image of part of the team walking through the infamous Tuileries.

A freshly platinum Francesca outside D&G's Women's Fall 2010. I shot this image moments after dodging an oncoming tram. The things you do for Love.

Total girl crush moment. She is fierce!



See you next season ladies! I'll miss you much!
