downtownfrombehind (DFB) is a photographic series capturing subjects riding their bike from behind on some 200+ streets, avenues and lanes below 14th street in New York City.The result is an environmental portrait for each street and subject with a goal to highlight a set of individuals, emerging and established, each uniquely contributing; culturally, socially and physically, to make this part of the city what it is today.The project has been widely covered in the press, from New York Times, Huffington Post, Coolhunting, Vogue, Nylon Magazine and many blogs (thankyou).Subjects photographed to date include industrial designers, architects, creative directors, restauranteurs, entrepreneurs, hoteliers, artists and academics.www.downtownfrombehind.comcontact@downtownfrombehind.com

&lt;div&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;span&gt;When most of Manhattan is bound for the Hamptons, I discovered that Sally Ross prefers to spend her summer weekends in the city. The ordinarily very private Executive Vice President of Merchandising at Nine West, (yes it’s almost impossible to find an image of Sally anywhere!), recently showed me some of her favorite New York destinations. And as we hopped between downtown stoops, I discovered that we share a similar love for good coffee, a weekend newspaper and of course, biking in New York. Sally, who has built a career in the fashion industry working with a host of iconic retailers including Bergdorf Goodman, is excited to be sharing her styling tips every week, check &lt;a href="http://www.ninewest.com/EXECUTIVES/SALLY_SAYS,default,pg.html" data-cke-saved-href="http://www.ninewest.com/EXECUTIVES/SALLY_SAYS,default,pg.html" target="_blank"&gt;#SallySays&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;span&gt;I tend to agree ‘wear what makes you happy’ is good advice. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;p&gt;It’s difficult not to have a small crush on anyone who happily quotes, “if it looks like a vagina, then its probably couture”. Through the infinite amount of beige content being blogged and reblogged by today’s ‘new editors’, there’s the occasional show stopper. Ladies and gentleman, we have a winner. Meet Leandra Medine, the (sometimes) lady behind cult site &lt;a href="http://www.manrepeller.com/" target="_blank"&gt;The Man Repeller&lt;/a&gt; and heavy weight champion of relevant irreverent man repelling recommendations and fashion opinion.&lt;br/&gt; &lt;br/&gt;With more commercial collaborations than one can count, it’s clear her content has struck a chord with her forever swelling dedicated audience of tumblr, instagram, twitter, blog, slash every other digital orifice bank of followers. She doesn’t take herself to seriously, she has a point of view and she can write (well), winning.&lt;br/&gt; &lt;br/&gt;When she’s not ‘outfitting oneself in a sartorially offensive way that will result in repelling members of the opposite sex’ in ‘such garments including but are not limited to harem pants, boyfriend jeans, overalls, shoulder pads, full length jumpsuits, jewelry that resembles violent weaponry and clogs’, you’ll find her enthusiastically propping up the local economy, favo(u)ring such brands as &lt;a href="http://www.proenzaschouler.com/" target="_blank"&gt;Proenza Schouler&lt;/a&gt;, and occasionally turning to the EU for support, insert &lt;a href="http://www.isabelmarant.tm.fr/" target="_blank"&gt;Isabel Marant&lt;/a&gt; here.&lt;br/&gt; &lt;br/&gt;One savvy lady, if you’re not following her this week, I’m sure you will be next.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;More new &lt;a href="http://bit.ly/Ln7sLt" target="_blank"&gt;Downtowntownfrombehind&lt;/a&gt; things &lt;a href="http://bit.ly/Ln7sLt" target="_blank"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://downtownfrombehind.tumblr.com/post/24128947583</link><guid>http://downtownfrombehind.tumblr.com/post/24128947583</guid><pubDate>Thu, 31 May 2012 10:22:00 -0400</pubDate><category>Leandra Madine</category><category>downtownfrombehind</category><category>Grove Street</category><category>Manrepeller</category></item><item><title>"DOWNTOWNFROMBEHIND + COACH TAKE A TRIP AROUND MANHATTAN!"</title><description>“DOWNTOWNFROMBEHIND + COACH TAKE A TRIP AROUND MANHATTAN!” - Really thrilled to have...</description><link>http://downtownfrombehind.tumblr.com/post/23687361196</link><guid>http://downtownfrombehind.tumblr.com/post/23687361196</guid><pubDate>Thu, 24 May 2012 16:28:00 -0400</pubDate><category>Coach</category><category>Downtownfrombehind</category><category>Manhattan</category><category>Brooklyn</category></item><item><title>DOWNTOWNFROMBEHIND X COACH COLLABORATION</title><description>&lt;iframe width="400" height="225" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/MN3-mSG2LsM?wmode=transparent&amp;autohide=1&amp;egm=0&amp;hd=1&amp;iv_load_policy=3&amp;modestbranding=1&amp;rel=0&amp;showinfo=0&amp;showsearch=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;DOWNTOWNFROMBEHIND X COACH COLLABORATION&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://downtownfrombehind.tumblr.com/post/23687330343</link><guid>http://downtownfrombehind.tumblr.com/post/23687330343</guid><pubDate>Thu, 24 May 2012 16:27:00 -0400</pubDate></item><item><title>14TH STREET.</title><description>
