If you’re an avid follower of the shitshow mayhem known as New York Fashion Week, then you know that media outlets love reporting on what’s hitting the catwalks as well as what couture cumbuckets are roaming around at these shows. And the major hotspot to catch these show-goers is currently over at Lincoln Center.
This past Sunday, I decided to head over there and ended up wasting over two hours to shoot the hordes of people that came to flock around the NYFW bonanza. Here’s a breakdown of the type of people I saw: old creepy male photogs, hipster girls that lurk around for over an hour waiting to get photographed, rich girls from New Jersey that look like Forever 21 threw up on them, self-proclaimed “models” that do on-the-spot costume changes into “couture” clothing, a pizza delivery guy, Upper West Side locals that are walking their dog, foreign tourists, big magazine/newspaper editors, Romanian singers, and nobodies like me who were just taking street style photos for the fuck of it.

Oh, and if you think it’d be an ultimate compliment to have a photographer come up to you and ask to take your photo at an occasion of what many people think is the crème de la crème of fashion, sadly not all people think like that. I had a few major B’s throw beaucoup shade when I asked to take their photo. At the end of it, I wanted to kill myself because of all the ego I had to deal with for no good reason (you’re going to a fashion show, not solving cancer here folks).
