NYFW: Peony Lim’s Photo Frenzy

Photo Friendly – There were a lot of high profile bloggers at New York Fashion Week, so it’s hard to predict who was the most photographed, but I can safely say that London’s Peony Lim should win an award for the most published. I personally witnessed a line of photographers surrounding her for shots on Day 5 as she hit Lincoln Center’s plaza – and she was cool and collected. (To see what I mean, check out her posts: New York Parts OneTwo and Three). I just had to ask her a couple questions, which she kindly answered below.

Me: How does it feel being snapped by so many streetstyle photographers from around the globe – and more importantly – how does that influence what you wear?

Peony: Being photographed for streetstyle can be totally overwhelming. I think the only way to get used to it is to experience it, and even then sometimes it is a lot. It is the only time when a normal person has that situation. I don’t feel pressure beyond my own desire to look a way I like. When you love your clothes, it matters a lot less whether other people feel the same, since you’re so happy with them. However, it never hurts to have your opinion confirmed by others, does it?! If anything, being photographed is a huge compliment.

Speaking to the streetstyle trend, she says, “I love to see the outfits of other women that I admire. I think it is inspiring to see how they take runway pieces and make them their own.” Peony went right from the thick of New York Fashion Week into the throes of London Fashion Week. If I’m ever curious to see what she’s wearing, I’ll always be just a couple clicks away from a number of angles.

Isn’t she? No shortage of photos of her in cyberspace. Her style reminds me of young Janet a bit…
