His images are not only gritty, sexy & mesmerizing, but are iconic with the in-your-face spirit of rock ‘n’ roll that he helped to create.  For the past forty years Mick Rock has captured the drama, the vital essence and the intense theater of rock ‘n’ roll.

Ali Hewson and husband Bono created Edun to help encourage trade with Africa, producing approximately 15% of the collection on the continent. Backstage before the show, Ali talked to us about her socially responsible line, and championed the natural skincare line, Nude.

Gavin Rossdale stopped in with stylin’ son Kingston before the show to well-wish, and we spotted One Tree Hill’s James Lafferty taking a prime seat on the bleachers at the runway’s entrance.

Fair Trade. Ethical. And accessible. Drapey prints, cropped jackets and layer-able separates in subdued, earthy tones took to the gravel runway in the appropriately airy location – right under The High Line in Manhattan’s Meatpacking District. Khaki greens, oceanic blues, and a rich burnt sienna offset the basic blacks and whites in world-friendly fabrics like paper poplin, and organic linen and cottons.
