Street style photographer Adam Katz Sinding of the popular blog Le 21ème Arrondisement and ELLE.com’s own Market Editor, Sydney Wasserman, have teamed up on an exhibit at The W Times Square.
“Scene on the Street,” which aims to bridge the gap between fashion and art, transforms the hotel’s living room into a gallery filled with photos of peacocking fashionistas.
Wasserman and Sindig first hooked up two years ago when the former, who edits our daily street style column, was searching around for lesser known talent and landed on Sinding’s blog.  “I contacted him, and he told me he was about to move to New York,” said Wasserman of the Seattle-based blogger.   “He picks subjects that are really put together, not just tall skinny girls.  He has an eye for personal style, but my favorite part about him is that he’s insanely particular and always delivers five images to me each day.”
Those 25 photos per week have been whittled down to just 24 stand-out images.  ”We angled it at this coming season’s trends, based on what people were wearing around fashion week.  They were seeing the new shows and trying to emulate them in real time,” Wasserman explained.  That means highlighting next season’s must-haves like bra tops, polished button-up shirts, and geometric prints.  The photos display, “what New Yorkers wear, and that usually dissolves into bigger trends in similar age groups.”
