NYC kids definitely have the cool factor. When I got to Tribeca last May, there were a lot of kids in that area and I was fascinated by the way they looked, walked, sat with their parents at restaurants, hung out with their friends and wore their hair. So stylish in such a nonchalant way.
Fascinating how the styles of Parisian and Milanese kids are so different from those in Miami, LA, and SF and NY.
When I was in Paris last winter, a teenage boy told me how cool "le style New York" was and how he and his friends tried to get that look.
I guess people always want the other thing.
Spending time in NY has affected the way I shoot....more spontaneous and authentic...less perfect...more fun! It was good for me.
Up next for me is Iceland! I'm not sure what their style is.
