Sony provided each blogger with a $750 DSLR camera and Xperia Tablet Z to assist with their coverage, and the photos will be unveiled at Milk Studios on September 5. While the designer-blogger pairings were supposed to be a secret, it was released via social media that Miguel Yatco of Living in the Stills will be working with Oscar de la Renta, Sara Zucker with Anna Sui, and Jamie Beck of Ann Street Studio with Donna Karan.
