I am a lover of vibrant and lively colors, but many times, stories are more powerful in black and white. A Moment Named Desire is my collection of photo essays on fashion, culture, and entertainment in different shades of grey.

Models (in) Express Fall/Winter 2011.12 Fashion Show
On July 23, Express Fashion broke the Guinness World record for the most people to walk on a fashion runway. They passed the previous record of 521 that was set by Galeries Lafayette in Paris in 2010. The public was encouraged to come and “model” on the catwalk. 1,243 people came out to break the record for 9 hours in Times Square. Later that evening, high fashion models and the faces of Express Spring/Summer 2011 and Fall/Winter 2011.12 campaigns strutted the runway in a glamorous fashion show, introducing what to expect in stores this fall. Runway veteran model and actress Daria Strokous opened the show, and rising star Dutch model Bregje Heinen closed.

Michael Kors 30th Anniversary Fashion Show (in) NYFW Fall 2011
It was a pleasure watching the superb cast of models on the runway of the Michael Kors Fall 2011 collection fashion show, which was luxurious and classic with a modern twist. The clothing was so beautiful and elegant! I enjoyed the show so much that I had trouble debating if I should be photographing or carefully watching. For more photos, check out this album.
Michael Kors has never failed to get me lost in the fantasy each season!
