Our Friends of Kanon NYFW Instagram Viewer is LIVE!

This Fashion Week, we decided to top ourselves once again– and that usually means doing something that's never been done before (see: livestreaming a blogger for 24 hours). This time around, we've taken one of our favorite social media platforms, Instagram, and reimagined it the Kanon way. On our Friends of Kanon NYFW Instagram Viewer, we've allowed you to access all of the best Fashion Week Instagrams in one place as they happen– so you don't have to waste time scrolling endlessly on your smart phone trying to find the good stuff.

You can filter by designer, blogger, FOKs (aka Friends of Kanon), as well as specific Fashion Week hashtags. You can also like, tweet, pin, or comment on any of the Instagrams you love best. So peruse, enjoy, share with your friends, and let us know what you think by Tweeting us at @kanonvodka. Cheers to Fashion Week!

Talking Fashion Week With Carlos Campos
What do you get when you combine color-blocking, Aztec patterns and Theophilus London? The S/S 12 collection from Carlos Campos, obviously (which we plan on wearing all day, every day when it gets warm again). We pried ourselves away from the Kanon Bar yesterday (harder than it sounds!) to learn about the designer's creative approach, music inspiration, and where to get the best tacos ever--since we've already got vodka on lock. Enjoy.

Kanon Vodka: What was your inspiration behind today's collection?

Carlos Campos: When you see the colors you think Incas, Mayans, Aztecs. I’m from Honduras and I wanted to bring those elements into New York. Like you see with the patterns on the shoes. My Father was a sailor, and I wanted to deconstruct all of the pieces that I’ve been making for many years. Like take a jacket and make it into a shirt. The shirt is treated like a jacket, but with very light-weight cotton fabrics. I developed my own colors and fabrics. You know when I make a mistake, it’s very consistent. You know, I do it myself.

FOK Love: Kelly Framel Reviews Pamela Love's SS '12 Collection
Even with all of the new gorgeous and fashionable faces we spotted at Milk Studios and at our Kanon bar on the 8th floor last night, it’s always comforting to see familiar FOKs. And what's better than when we have a gaggle of them in one place? Last night Milk hosted Pamela Love’s Spring 2012 collection and naturally we had to pop in to congratulate the jewelry-designing FOK. We invited Kelly Framel, otherwise known as The Glamourai, to be our wing-woman for the night and get her perspective on the Western-inspired collection. Here’s Kelly’s take and photos from the collection. FOKs supporting FOKs? Our work here is done.

Check out what Kelly had to say:

Saturday night, I stopped by Milk Studios to check out Pamela Love's Spring 2012 collection. A band jammed in one corner, while a bevy of models perched on Persian rug piles, decked in dune-colored costumes topped with tooled-leather details – and lots and lots of jewelry. Indeed, it was the jewelry that this packed house (and Anna Wintour!) had come out to see. Featuring turquoise, malachite, and lapis stone insets, the harem of hardware on hand looked as if it had been collected over several decades by an especially adventurous aesthete – which is why each new piece promises to become a truly-treasured talisman.

Talking Fashion Week With Mark Fast
Though we're proud Swedes, we have to say, we love the Brits. So of course we jumped at the chance to chat with designer Mark Fast on Saturday after his show at Milk Studios. Filled with bright colors and bold makeup looks (blue lipstick anyone?), the collection was one of the most unique we've seen, and the crowd couldn't take their eyes off it (we even ran into Carine Roitfeld coming in to check it out). Equally as amazing were the elderflower, lemonade, and Kanon cocktails that were served in handy to-go cups. Imbibing with ease at its finest, we like to think. Check out what Mark had to say post-show.

Kanon Vodka: We know that you went to Central Saint Martins. How has that influenced your collections over the years?

Mark Fast: Saint Martins teaches you how to survive on your own. Whatever is in your mind, let it out--that's your own identity. So I can only do what's in my mind.

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.

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.

The Last Magazine Party at Bunker 22
Magnus Berger & Tenzin Wild of Last Magazine
Fashion week is coming to a close and you can hear a collective sigh of relief emanating from New York City. The fashion flock is rapidly tiring of scrambling through nearly a dozen shows a day and experiencing a severe lack of sleep. Although, the upside to that sleep deprivation issue happens to be the cause--namely, there have been some awesome parties.

One would think that going to bat after carnivals, impromptu Kanye West performances and swanky rooftop soirees would be mission impossible but last night, Last Magazine and Kanon Vodka (a.k.a. Us) were up to that task. You probably didn't hear about new venue, The Bunker 22 (where said party was held), until the flurry of tweets hit Twittersphere, mostly talking about how much fun it was.

And it truly was. With the likes of Tenzin Wild, Magnus Berger, Derek Blasberg and Dree Hemingway rubbing shoulders and dancing in the cool new underground space, how could we have gone wrong? Most of the work is done people, time to have some fun.

Bryanboy: Familiar Faces of Spring/Summer 2011 Fashion Week
Alexa Chung at 3.1 Phillip Lim
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.

Pamela Love Spring 2011 Presentation
If you wanted the quintessential New York Fashion Week experience you weren’t anywhere near Lincoln Center last night. You were at Milk Studios for FOK Pamela Love presentation along with all the downtown cool kids that make up New York. We love Love for many reasons- her unique creativity and passion inspire us – plus her whole working locally and responsibly sounds kinda familiar (ahem – Kanon). Her collection had everyone raving, including the likes of Carine Roitfeld and Olivier Zahm. When you got the French on your side you got it made in the shade. We provided the gimlets and our other friends Jenna Elizabeth and Harry Beee were there capturing the scene. Love did the rest.

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.

FOK Portrait: Pamela Love
If you’ve ever found yourself at an address or intersection below, oh lets say 20^th Street, there’s a good chance you’ve spotted one of Pamela Love’s pieces walking by you. Not that it’s insulated in the downtown set, Love’s pieces transcend skinny jeans, cigarettes, and all the other clichés associated with people who don’t live on the Upper East Side. She sees herself as a local designer, working with her own hands. Here, we have the opportunity to see Love how she sees herself, via one of Kanon’s favorite NYC filmmakers, Jenna Elizabeth. It’s an intimate portrait of an intimate process that dates back to Love’s childhood. Minus the flashbacks and tears.
