Fashion Week: Michael Kors, Christian Siriano, and Barbie!

Fashion Week began for me on February 7th when I filmed Matthew's bar mitzvah luncheon at the Four Seasons in NYC.  The fashionable guests in attendance included many of Matthew's mom's friends from her days working as a designer for Michael Kors, including Michael Kors himself.  Later, at a hip Yankees-themed party at the Metropolitan Pavillion, Matthew and his friends had a blast taking photos, dancing, playing games and hanging out with Christian Siriano, from Project Runway.   
Later that week I was asked to film at Barbie's 50th Anniversary Runway Show at Bryant Park. This was one of those great shoots where my love of video and retro fashion came together, and I really enjoyed being the paparazzi.  The makeup and stylings for the models were over the top, and it was adorable seeing all the little girls in the audience.  Here's a short clip from the event:
