I've been wanted to start a little street-style section on JooJoo Azad for quite some time, but never got the opportunity to just walk around with a camera in my hand, exploring the city through its fashion. I do believe that clothing can be a pretty strong indicator of personality, and I think capturing a city this way is always so interesting. I'm lucky enough to finally live in a city where people can definitely dress themselves quite well (no offense, Oklahoma), and when local designer Anastasia Chatzka threw an opening party to celebrate her new pop-up store in Hyde Park, I knew that it would be a great place to start this section (while also supporting local designers)! I also wanted to get this section before going to Morocco in January, as I think it would be a great place to photograph streetstyle!
Anyway, I hope you enjoy this little documentation of the opening of Anastasia Chatzka on 53rd and the people celebrating ~

Anastasia Chatzka herself, looking majestic in purple (I have a feeling it's one of her favorite colors)
If you haven't already, I encourage you to check out Anastasia's new website (here!) with all of her unique, quirky designs that really exude her personal style. I had a lovely time meeting so many interesting and beautiful people, bloggers, and designers! Hope we cross paths again!
Also, yay/nay on the streetsyle? Is this something that you'd like to see more of? I'd love to hear your thoughts!

Oh my, you are so sweet, thank you! I'm really happy to hear that you enjoy the Palestine article--it's one of my favorites, too ;)
ReplyDeleteThank you for your kind words, and your readership! x
I live in Chicago and I've never heard of this brand but I will have to check her out now, because this stuff looks great.
ReplyDeleteI also vote yes to more streetstyle these ladies look fabulous.
All your post is missing is your rad outfit you wore to the party! Loved your polkadot blazer:)
