New York's Look Book: How it Launched One Girl's Career

As Nylon points out, the rainbow gal to the left—photographed at age fourteen for New York magazine's LookBook section, a street-fashion centerfold in which oft-annoying people explain their outfits—is actually in one of their ads for the June issue! The ad was shot by loose cannon and Last Night's Party photographer Merlin Bronques. Kay Goldberg is eighteen now and looking totally fashionable—so it's OK to click for the photo.

Kay, Clinton and Stacy would take you out behind the shed and shoot you in the face for those rainbow socks.

Looks like Cyndi Lauper in Siberia.
Just can't wait for the eighties Pat Benatar & Billy Idol styles to come back into vogue.
Is this an Asian thing with the f_cking leggings?

@chelseabill: No, it's definitely a silly white people thing. Witness La Lohan and her new business venture & American Apparel.

I personally think they are used like control top panties for holding in the lumps and bumps. We're just a few steps away from Deanna Troi ya'll!

I've never felt better about being so square, so deficient in style. Street fashion needs a bus to hit it already.

Ugh, the Look Book. It's obnoxious and boring as a feature; why would anyone want a book of it? I'm completely fed up with NY Mag's increasing hipster-geared content and lack of self-awareness.
