A toned tummy was the accessory of this past fashion month: practically everyone was giving it a whirl (with varying degrees of skin on show!). So how to wear it during the winter months if you are living in the Northern Hemisphere? Wear a cropped sweater as Martha has done with a big, warm parka over the top and a pair of slouchy skinny jeans.

New York Fashion Week SS 2013...Backstage at Tory Burch

Backstage at Tory Burch Spring/Summer 2013, NYC, Tuesday 11th September 2012.

On a sunny Autumn morning in NYC, Tory Burch presented her SS2013 collection....and it was breathtakingly beautiful. Anyone who has read my blog for awhile will know I love photographing girls with a slight hippie/boho vibe....give me undone hair, a stack of ethnic jewellery collected on far-flung travels, colours which would make a courting bowerbird happy, pretty make-up and I am in photographic heaven. So when I saw the new collection and wonderful hair (thick, messy fishtail braids by the genius Eugene Souleiman) and barely-there make-up ("brows filled in and brushed; Runway Rose {pinkish cream from MAC palette} across eyelid and inner corners of eye; curl lashes; must have brown {greyish cream from MAC palette) through crease and brushed under lower lashes.blend; tiny bit of talking tan on lips if needed, lip balm otherwise" ) I was so happy that the lovely Tory Burch team had invited me to photograph backstage again. Wheat-prints, high, block-heeled tasselled loafers, a turquoise, coral and gold embellished blouse, a tasselled-hooded kaftan (lazy beach days anyone?), tie-dye shorts, skirt and dress, stacks of rings on each of the model's hands (handmade by women in Ghana), an ombre jacket, stripes paired with prints, evening dresses worn with easy-to-wear Moroccan slippers.... I loved it all.

The gorgeous Martha Hunt (IMG), after Tory Burch, NYC, September 2012.

Martha is such a lovely girl (and incredibly beautiful of course!) who many of you will have seen in the Free People campaigns.  She did wonderfully well in Milan and Paris this season as well as in NYC - so, so happy for her!

And her plaits/braids? LOVED the undone hair and make-up at Tory Burch. Backstage photos coming soon.

Martha Hunt, after Badgley Mischka, NYC, September 2011. 

Love Martha and her off-duty style. Simple striped shorts plus comfy loafers = easy weekend wear in the city.

The loafer/slipper without socks or tights is a great alternative to sandals in the summer (and entirely useful if you have forgotten to have a pedicure ; ) - Barneys New York Co-Op loafers, Marc by Marc Jacobs New Vintage glam loafers, UNIF Hellraiser flats (best for fending off unwanted attention on the Tube/Subway/Metro!)
