Ever see a collection and wonder where it all began? The inspiration? The sketches? If not, it is something to think about. It’s funny when you actually get to hear or see some of the inspiration, you would have never guessed it had anything to do with the collection. Other times, it makes perfect sense. So today, with it being day one of NYFW, we’re going to look at some designers and what inspired their Fall 2015 collections you’ll be seeing this fashion month.
I do weird things. I tend to document them here. But sometimes I’m just like “do you really care about my outfit that much to include 20+ photos?” I’m assuming no (which is why I limit to 10 or less) so some of these fantastic pictures of me get lost in the bunch and never resurface….until now.
I feel like the last 3 of my What Why Where posts have been such a tease. I hope you realize that I don’t take these pictures the day I post them. They’re usually taken earlier in the week (when it tends to be warmer for some reason, which is a conclusion I’ve come to recently) and then by Friday (when I typically post) it’s freezing.

If you missed out on the Warby Parker bocce social this weekend, that’s a shame…because it was awesome. BUT you can still shop Warby Parker sunglasses online or at Apartment Number 9 on Damen. And just because I feel like it, here’s a few photos I took at the event…
The CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund finalists have been announced! This process is something I look forward to following every year because it’s fascinating to watch designers grow and evolve and how the CFDA & Vogue help make that happen. Last year, Joseph Altuzarra took home the $300,000 grand prize and the runners-up, Pamela Love and Creatures of the Wind’s Shane Gabier and Christopher Peters (from Chicago by the way!), took home $100,000.
