New Directors/New Films 2012
coverage by Christopher Bourne
"Now, Forager": “Now, Forager” was created as a conscious corrective to other food-based films that co-directors Jason Cortlund and Julia Halperin felt were overly romantic and inaccurate in culinary terms.
"Porfirio": The biopic was inspired by the true story of Porfirio Ramirez Aldana, a formerly successful Colombian coca farmer who became permanently paralyzed after being caught in the crossfire of police bullets.

New York Fashion Week Fall 2012 collections
coverage by Kwai Chan, Wade-Hahn Chan and Yuan-Kwan Chan
Alexandre Plokhov: Plokhov's latest menswear collection was not a major departure of style, but a strong refinement of his central aesthetic.
BCBGMAXAZRIA: Max Azria didn't overturn his successful formula of simply cut, colorblocked frocks for his latest Fall/Winter collection.
Doyle Mueser + Imitation of Christ: Imitation of Christ’s Tara Subkoff introduced a collaboration – referred to simply as Imitation – with Doyle Mueser Bespoke, a label consisting of New York-based tailors Amber Doyle and Jake Mueser.
Herve Leger by Max Azria: Dresses featured the luxurious detailing the line is best known for, and those details were used to trace surgically precise lines.
Hyden Yoo: Set in an appropriately collegiate setting of a library/game room filled with books and swamped by a billiards table, Hyden Yoo's Fall/Winter 2012 collection exuded casual campus style.
Jenny Packham: The collection predominantly featured strong broad shoulders and dramatic, hourglass figure cuts, with waists tailored tight or cinched with glossy belts.
Public School: Jeremy Lin needs a fashion overhaul, at least according to Metta World Peace (nee Ron Artest). For a New York Knicks player with such a rare backstory, streetwear brand Public School is an eerily good fit.
