FOK Reports: Bryanboy Reviews Marc Jacobs S/S 2012
New York Fashion Week doesn't really seem complete without a look at the latest and greatest from Marc Jacobs, and what better way to see his latest show than through the eyes of our FOK (and blogger extraordinaire), Bryanboy. While we followed Bryan through an entire day at Fashion Week last season, this time around, Bryan took us to the front row with him and gave us his take on MJ's spring/summer 2012 collection.

Read on for Bryanboy's perspective on the show, and check out his personal photos above for your own front row access.

Yesterday evening's Marc Jacobs show was quite a production. For seven minutes, the New York State Armory on Lexington Avenue was transformed into a magical stage set inspired by Southern dance halls -- gold lamé curtains, chairs, beams decorated with light bulbs and a wooden runway.

Marc's spring/summer 2012 collection was an exercise in texture and translucency. I wanted to feel the garments with my own hands. I love how he played with different materials such as organza, plastic, pailettes and silicone (those crocodile-embossed jackets are divine). His take on the gingham print was also sweet.

My personal must-have? I saw this delightful fluorescent pistachio green sweater in a fabric that felt as if it was a mix between neoprene and cashmere. It felt smooth to the skin when I touched it backstage.

S/S 2012 Fashion Week Through the Eyes of Susie Bubble

NYFW has drawn to a close, but if you've been working (read: partying) as hard as we have, perhaps you still haven't gotten your full fashion week fix. Fear not friends, for style blogger Susie Bubble has you covered. We teamed up with Leica to give you a glimpse into her world, or rather, her bubble of chicness.

Here's what Susie had to say (and see) about the week:

I've been going to New York Fashion Week for as long as Mac & Milk's introduction to the New York Fashion Week schedule, and whilst I've not experienced NYFW sans Mac & Milk, I get the feeling that my week is greatly enriched by its existence. By providing a downtown platform for those emerging and somewhat-established voices in fashion to showcase their collections, it really is the place where interesting design points of view come across either via presentations or at the shows. The programme's renaming as 'Made' is probably a reference to the fact that the schedule has 'made' its way into most editors' stable of must-sees.

For S/S 12, I saw a good 80 percent of the Made schedule, missing the last two days but coming away with no less than about 10GB of photos thanks to Leica. I've whittled all of that down here….

Top photo: Aldo's presence at Made has been welcome through a pop-up shop as well as their increasingly creative collaborations as seen at Cushnie et Ochs where Barbie-inspired heels come in these round-toed stilettos.

I like to stalk Bill Cunningham if I have a spare ten minutes or so. He happened to sit front row next to me at a show where I snapped his taped up Nikon FN2 film camera…

Prints have been rife at NYFW, but Duro Olowu is a dab hand at mixing his prints….

Russell Simmons, Ellie Goulding and More Come Out for the Alex Wang After Party
Alexander Wang
When you focus on quality rather than quantity in life like us, you rarely end up disappointed. And we like to think such is the case for the parties we've been throwing on both coasts over the past year. But every now and then, a party comes along that's so epic, that we're forced to raise the bar on our standards – no pun intended. Alex Wang is known for throwing some of the best parties of Fashion Week, and we couldn't have been more thrilled to take over the bar at last night's celebration of his spring/summer '12 collection. Actually, epic doesn't even begin to describe it. With a frat party theme in place, all the great elements of our college party memories were there – glow sticks, endless amounts of alcohol (aka Kanon), Greek letters and pictures of naked girls adorning the walls, beer pong, and the inevitable end-of-the-night climax involving loud music (thanks to a performance by Odd Future) and spurts of champagne raining over the crowd more aggressively than Hurricane Irene.

Happy 4th of July: FOK Edition

Krystal Simpson

With Fourth of July just around the corner, we’re officially in vacation mode (sorry Friday afternoon work, it’s just not going to happen). We’re kindly reminded of what America stands for this weekend–life, liberty, and the pursuit of a fantastic cocktail. But we’re Swedish, so what do we know?

Since it’s the perfect opportunity to get away, we’re doing just that and heading out East. We’ll be sipping on cocktails in Montauk all weekend with some very important FOKs. (And FYI-you should come hang out with us at Shark Attack Soundz Saturday night!) One of our favorite parts about the ultimate summer holiday weekend is finding out what our FOKs are up to–because if it’s something fun, we’re totally inviting ourselves.

Take a peek at what some of our beloved Friends of Kanon have planned in celebration of the country’s independence. And make sure to enjoy the weather and cocktails. Happy Fourth!

Krystal Simpson of What Is Reality Anyway
"My best friends and I rented a beach house for a 4th of July long-weekend mini-vacation, and we're going to relax with our feet in the sand, barbeque, and watch the fireworks over the bay."

Bryanboy
"I'm spending July 4th in India with my beloved boyfriend. It's our first year anniversary and thought we'd go somewhere mystic and exotic. I love going to a place different than my usual environment to be inspired."

Alexander Klein
"I wish I had tales of sexual exoticism, but in truth my summer holidays revolve around reading books, swimming, and drinking an evil beverage or two."

Leandra Medine of The Man Repeller
"I plan to spend the holiday on the beach in Southampton wearing stars and stripes. Lots of stars and stripes."

Peter Miszuk
"So on July 2nd, I am DJing a party for anyone stuck in the city still on Saturday at Madame Wong's. Then Sunday I am driving to MTK to camp in a friend's backyard–as I have been wanting to go camping forever, and this is sort of like camping-lite. Then I will spend my 4th at SL East."

Laura Taylor
"I'll be spending a rather unpatriotic July 4th in London. But I'll be singing our National Anthem over my plate of fish 'n' chips, I swear!"

Erica Chan Coffman and Lauren Kolodny of Honestly WTF
Erica: "I'm off to my family's ranch for the weekend, where I'll be jumping off rocks into the clear waters of the Yuba River, swimming, and soaking up the sun!"

Lauren: "You'll find me right outside my front door at the beach and teaching my bulldog how to skateboard!"

Terry Richardson FOK Snaps: Rumi Neely and Bryanboy
Bryanboy and Rumi Neely
Somehow between the chaos of livestreaming Bryanboy during fashion week, and following him from show to party to show to party and back again, we had an hour to kill with Bryan and our fashionable FOK Rumi Neely. Naturally, heading over to our friend Terry Richardson’s studio for an impromptu photoshoot seemed like a pretty good way to pass the time. No big deal.

We love Terry for many a reason– one being that he is cool with impromptu photoshoots, another being that he’s a fan of the double thumbs up (a great standard pose for party pics). But perhaps our favorite of all why-we-love-Terry-reasons is that the bi-focaled photog shares our passion for sustainability. You didn’t think he bought all those plaid flannels new, did you? Hell no. Those gems are straight from the second-hand store. And just like our vodka is produced with the lowest footprint possible (within a 3-mile radius to be exact), we like to think that Terry’s re-used flannels are environmentally friendly in their own way.

Sustainable Shopping with Bryanboy and Rumi Neely

While we are firm believers in the power of cocktails and good times, we're also all about the power of going green. Not to toot our own horn or anything, but one of the best things about us is that we're 100% organic and sustainable as well. And if we can get some of our friends and FOKs to get a little greener too? Well that’s just the icing on top of the (organic) cake.

Case in point: we recently encouraged FOKs Bryanboy and Rumi Neely of fashiontoast to give us their own take on sustainability. Their destination of choice: the mecca of vintage fashion, Soho's What Goes Around Comes Around. Check out the video to learn more from Bryan and Rumi about why wearing people's old clothes is one of the coolest ways to look new again.

What You Missed From Our Bryanboy Livestream
Launching a livestream of Bryanboy during Fashion Week has its pros and cons. While it's a genius idea in theory and the perfect week to find the blogger in his fabulous element, it's also the week when most people who would care about watching a Bryanboy livestream are too busy to do so. So busy in fact, that even stealing away moments to procrastinate during your lunch break is impossible, because well, you probably didn't get a lunch break. So without rambling on further, this post is dedicated to those who missed out on the sheer silliness the first time around. You didn't think we would do a livestream without recording all the best moments, did you? Pour yourself a glass of Kanon, and enjoy!

Rumi's Fashion Week Diary: Hangin' at the Last Magazine Party
We’ve admittedly spent an uncharacteristic amount of time this weekend resting after a whirlwind of a week jam-packed with fashion parties and shows to attend. The marathon that is New York Fashion Week is finally over folks, but despite all of the exhaustion that comes with it, we have to say, we already miss it just a little.

Perhaps our favorite part about last week was getting to know new FOK, Rumi Neely – the gorgeous face behind personal style blog fashiontoast. And when you get her and the ever-charming Bryanboy together with some Kanon, you’re looking at a guaranteed good time. In case you missed it, here’s a little photo recap of the last night we all spent together during NYFW. Here’s to hoping we’re all reunited soon.

Bloglovin' Awards: The Night in Polaroids
Rumi Neely, Chiara Ferragni and Leandra Medine with Luisa Via Roma's owner Mr. Panconesi
You’ve probably never experienced quite what we did last night at the Bloglovin Awards. Why? Well, for starters last night was the first time it’s ever been done. And to be honest, it was unlike any situation we’ve found ourselves in before. To give you an idea, just imagine being in a confined area (in this case, the Stone Rose Lounge) with all of your favorite celebrities (except in this case they’re all really well-known bloggers), and all everyone wants to do all night is tweet at each other, tote around their personal photographers-slash-boyfriends to take pix of them with their blogger friends and compliment each other’s outfits.

We spent the night clinking our Kanon cocktails with the likes of Yvan Rodic aka “Facehunter,” Scott Schuman of The Sartorialist, Rumi Neely and her male entourage (aka Bryanboy, Teen Vogue’s Andrew Bevan and her photographer-slash-boyfriend Colin Sokol) and way too many more @@@s than we could ever fit into 140 characters. It. Was. Awesome. If you really want to know who else showed face, click through the Polaroids from the night. They’re pretty awesome too. Check out our Facebook page to see more photos from the night, and be sure to tag your friends!

OH MY GOD. We're Livestreaming Bryanboy for Fashion Week!
For those who hung out with us during last Fashion Week, you probably saw Bryanboy on our blog in all of his head-to-toe leopard glory working his hypothetical catwalk, hair flip and all. Well, ladies and gents...he's back. In real time. On February 16, starting at 9 AM, watch Bryanboy as he becomes the first blogger to be livestreamed for the web right here on Kanonvodka.com. That deserves a pretty big, OMG, right? Might have to get a cocktail ready for this one, people. Who knows what he'll do.

Bryanboy: Fashion Week Drink Schedule

You may not believe it, but fashion week is hard work. No, we don’t mean the constant hustle to grab taxis and get to shows on time; we mean the constant hustle of drinking and not sleeping. Fashion week is neither relaxing nor for that matter, dry. FOK (Friend of Kanon) Bryan Boy knows all about all these things, he was an omnipresent force in New York for a good 8 days straight. Keeping in mind that it’s rude to turn down a backstage champagne cocktail, while also kind of rude to look like a complete pile of garbage, Bryan Boy fixed us up his fashion week drink schedule for all needs and occasions.

Bryanboy: Familiar Faces of Spring/Summer 2011 Fashion Week

Of course, FOK guest blogger Bryanboy has access to the coolest shows during New York Fashion Week. Here, his photos of the scene.

Fashion Week is all about going to the shows to see new clothes and accessories for the upcoming season, but what makes my job even more fun and exciting is the opportunity to meet talented and stylish people. It's amusing to see these personalities in print, online or in broadcast media (TV, etc) but meeting them in flesh is different altogether.

Here are some of my favorite familiar faces who brought a smile to my face over the past week.

Bryanboy: Marchesa Spring/Summer 2011
Bryanboy is blogging for us about his experiences with this insane thing called New York Fashion Week. Here, his take on Marchesa spring/summer 2011.

The gorgeous Georgina Chapman (who, btw looked ultra svelte in spite of giving birth a few weeks ago) presented her dramatic spring/summer 2011 Marchesa collection at the Chelsea Art Museum yesterday afternoon.

I always look forward to seeing her phenomenal creations fit for the red carpet. There are no ordinary dresses; the amount of handiwork and detail involved are extraordinary.

Georgina said she was inspired by Orientalist paintings.

Marchesa collaborated with renowned shoemaker Christian Louboutin for shoes.

Bryanboy: Fashion's Night Out Highlights
Bryan and Catherine Malandrino at Bergdorf Goodman
One of our favorite bloggers, boy wonder and outrageous fashion presence, Bryan Boy, is blogging for us about his experiences with this insane thing called New York Fashion Week. Here, his take on Fashion's Night Out:

What did you do during this year's Fashion's Night Out?

I started my evening uptown at the beauty floor of Bergdorf Goodman. Me and my fellow judges, Hamish Bowles, Catherine Malandrino and Trish McEvoy co-judged a contest searching for the next great make-up artist. Apres-Bergdorf, I was hoping to drop by the Dolce & Gabbana boutique on Madison but the traffic was so bad I instructed my driver to head to Meatpacking District instead to meet my friend Rumi Neely of Fashion Toast.

From there, we visited Ports 1961 who showed earlier during the day. They used real, live models instead of mannequins on their window displays; one of them wore a $16,000 silk chiffon dress from their spring/summer 2011 collection. We also visited the very crowded Helmut Lang where party snapper Mark Hunter aka The Cobrasnake hung out. Our final pit stop was the Theory store where Miike Snow's Andrew Wyatt DJed. I also bought a stunning black silk tee.

Some may say it was the biggest street block party New York has seen in years but if you were to ask me, American Vogue's Fashion's Night Out was an amazing celebration of fun, frolics, and fashion!

Bryan Boy: Night Out with Kanon
If there was ever anyone that embodied the flair and fierce persona of fashion week, it's one of our favorite bloggers, Bryan Grey-Yambao or Bryan Boy. The blogging phenomenon has taken over the streets of New York (decked out in head-to-toe leopard Spring 2011 Givenchy, of course), running around the city with and meeting the who's-who of fashion (i.e. Terry Richardson, Scott Schuman, et al).

No fashion week is complete without the parties and Bryan let us tag along as he started his night with a little taste of Kanon. Check out his intense show and party schedule in our video above.

FOK Guest Blogger: Bryanboy

New York fashion week is upon us. That means no sleep, lots of drink, and some clothes thrown in the mix. It takes serious talent to make this week look fun. One guy possessing that kind of talent is Bryan Grey-Yambao, otherwise known as BryanBoy. Bryan’s made a name for himself as one of the most influential bloggers in the world. Hell, Marc Jacobs named a bag after him. This week, Bryan’s bringing all his (good) baggage to Kanon and guest blogging for us. Which means we have the most famous fashion blogger on our team. Which means we rule, humbly.
