NYFW is all about bold statements and boundary-pushing design. But this season, one photographer took a different approach — turning his lens on the passersby who dared to pair their outfits with eye-catching timepieces. Over the course of the week, Dan Bassini roamed the streets, capturing the spark of fashion’s busiest days alongside the glint of a well-chosen watch.
Dan Bassini is a New York City–based photographer who specializes in both digital and analog formats. His work has been featured in solo and group shows around NYC— proving that the right moment, captured on film, can speak volumes about culture, style, and the spirit of the city itself.
