Hey guys! This post makes me so excited; I'm so happy to share with all of you my experience during NYFW for the very first time. It wasn't just hoping on a plane and landing in some of the most popular fashion shows, it actually took a lot of planning and so many decisions had to be taken. I was very fortunate to partner with Style Magazine and cover all of their fashion presentations and runway shows, from Malan Breton to Sherri Hill. Growing up admiring fashion and contemplating trends, New York fashion week was something very distant and somewhat unreachable. But enough with that, I'm not going to sit here and bore you with the "this was my dream" type of post.
Fashion week was beyond partying, it was a great opportunity to network and gain experience within the fashion industry. It was extremely fun to play dress-up and be a tourist in the big apple. I truly admire the creativity and work that goes behind creating/presenting a collection. But I have to be honest, by the 5th day, I was extremely exhausted. Fashion week seems very glamorous and fun, but only for the first two days. You have to spend time and money traveling from shows to shows (when they're not in the same venue), you need different attire/looks for every day, and often spend long hours without eating. Maybe because I was a first timer I didn't planed myself as I should've, but it was a little tiring at times.
Fast forward to the big day, NYFW day 1, most of the shows I attended where at the Cipriani in 42st. Gorgeous venue with extremely amazing architectural design and great space. First up was Malan Breton presenting his couture collection, introducing very classic and spontaneous pieces with much attention to details and tailoring. Dominated by semi-casual pieces and lots of red! Second show, was a presentation entitled "Manhattan Knights," which took place in another nearby venue. This presentation was much more casual, highlighting pieces more suitable for everyday wear with a big splash of street style. The my last show was back at the Cirpiani for a runway show presented by KAWAII.
Finishing up the day with great company, music and drinks, was definitely a plus. Keep scrolling down for a section of my favorite pieces from every collection and to check out what I wore. I would love to know what you guys think about these collections and if you would like to attend fashion week for any upcoming season. Thanks again for sticking with me through another post 🙂
Until next time,
