Ryzenberg On: Tennant & Testino Take Over Peru

It is no secret that when it comes to fashion photographers, Mario Testino is one of the most sought after. But I can’t help it but get all giddy when I see my paisano, along with British beauty Stella Tennant on the September 2012 Vogue issue.

Big deal indeed! Why, you might ask? Because despite hundreds of covers, features, editorials and campaigns, this spread truly depicts what Peru is ALL about — a mixture of cultures, old and new, colors, traditions and histories.

When I first saw this, I felt as if I was reading Ricardo Palma’s ‘Tradiciones Peruanas,’ a series of stories about Peruvian life and ideals that first appeared in the 1850s. It is very  beautiful, yet poignant in showing how class systems and social inequality exists, despite coming a long way since the turn of the 20th century.

The ensembles are breathtaking and it feels like a museum exhibit. The combination of textures, colors, baubles and styles really makes Tennant shine!

Seriously, we’ve come a long way baby!

Ryzenberg On: CFDA Highlights

Yesterday was a day of celebrations (hello, my birthday and the Queen’s Jubilee) and honors. Fashion’s finest gathered in NYC to pay homage to designers, sport glamorous duds and celebrate the Council of Fashion Designers of America. 

The event, hosted by SNL’s Seth Meyers, featured a parade of actors, models and sartorially gifted industry tastemakers. The big winners of the night were pint size moguls Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, who won the coveted Womenswear Designer of the Year for The Row.

I guess Michelle Tanner has come a long way, and I must say this was indeed one fashion-packed full house. 

Here are my other favorites: 

• CFDA President Diane Von Furstenberg in one of her creations
• Carine Roitfeld in Alexander Wang & the man himself
• Joan Smalls wearing and in the company of Michael Kors
• Jessica Parre in Jason Wu
• Hilary Rhoda in Rebecca Minkoff
• Kate Bosworth in Altuzarra
• Lily Collins in Marchesa
• Vogue Editrix-in-Chief Anna Wintour in Marc Jacobs

Ryzenberg On: Marni for H&M Preview

Spoiler Alert: Spasiva Vogue Russia for this wonderful Marni for H&M preview. Shot by Robert Wyatt, the magazine spread features a bevy of looks that are incredible. I personally love the orange top with the hot pink shorts and the polka dots have my name written all over it.

I am sure more pictures will soon begin to surface, but so far I like what I am seeing. The collection doesn’t hit U.S. stores until March 8, and I am sure the buzz around it will start to grow. I am definitely going to hit the stores to check out all of the goodies, and of course, I am banking of walking out with some of the coveteables that will be available.
