So I’m in the middle of NY Fashion Week chaos and haven’t been updating Upper West Side Style. A pox upon me! There’s been so much going on at Lincoln Center this week that I really should have been sharing in real time. But I’ve been taking notes and lots of pictures, so will give you a recap post when it’s all over. If you’re interested, check out the exhaustive coverage over at Fashionista (where I have been toiling tirelessly this week).
Anyway, I was leaving the tents at Lincoln Center the other day, when a chartreuse vision caught my eye near 68th and Broadway:
I had to go speak to these joyful and confident ladies and congratulate them on their individualism. Morag was wearing a Lie Song Bong coat and Pamela had on a Michael Kors fox (fur haters, please keep it to yourself for a minute). Apparently MK only made two of the coats, the other of which was purchased by a Saudi Arabian princess. Please also note her hot pink accessories. I approve!
Thank you, Cheryl! I love everything about this post — you really captured the moment. You are awesome, and it was a great treat to meet you! Keep sharing your sense of style on the UWS!
It was an absolute pleasure to meet you,too. Thanks for the words of encouragement and I’ll be looking out for you in the ‘hood! xxC
Wonderful coats. I’d wear the MK fur – it’s green. For the most part and from a distance no one would need to know that one was wearing a deceased animal. If an observer was rude enough to insinuate otherwise you could answer “yes it is real fur, I farmed and skinned 12 Sesame Street monsters to get it. They had a good life”.
I have a vintage fur that belonged to my gran. I can’t part with it. I can’t wear it. I should die it.
Or dye it.
