My sincerest apologies for not blogging in ages but as I'm sure some of you know, the end of high school and beginning of college can be quite a troubling time and I regret that my blog was one of the first things that suffered. Well enough of me and my personal woes (after all this isn't that type of blog) let's get to the fun stuff: New York Fashion Week.
Ah, New York Fashion Week perhaps one of the most magical times of the year. This year was my first official New York Fashion Week (if we define official as actually going to a show). Yes dear readers, yours truly (thanks to his internship at Teen Vogue) was able to attend two shows during fashion week (alas none at the Lincoln Center but important none the less). My first show (in my entire life!) was the A Detacher show at Pier 59 studios and I must say it was truly a magical experience. Not only did I sit front row (thanks T.V.) but I sat across from Maggie Gyllenhaal who is gorgeous in person. The clothes were amazing and the small, intimate setting (I could reach out and touch the model if I had dared) made it one of the most memorable experiences of my budding fashion career. Unfortunately I did not have a camera on me (a lesson I learned the hard way) so I was not able to document this event.
My second show (for this I came prepared with camera and moleskine in hand) was the Reem Acra presentation. The clothes were amazing and could only come from such a talented designer. The collection was called "An American Princess" and the clothes were just that, beautiful pieces which could easily be seen on a European heiress. The models (who were all stunning) were so sweet and would smile and pose as I snapped their picture. It was truly an honor to be in the same room with such a brilliant woman. All in all my first official fashion week was quite the success, 2 shows before my 18th birthday.
September was quite the busy month for me. Not only did I play fashionisto at the shows but I also took part in the amazing event that is Fashion Night Out. I spent my night at Versace, Gant and lastly Lord and Taylor. My first stop was Versace, which although fabulous with the gorgeous live models, was quite the animal house with masses of people vying for the free alcohol at the bars. Luckily my friends and I were able to find a nicely secluded spot upstairs near the stunning glamazonian DJ. After Versace we moved onto Gant where we were able to mingle with the amazing and extremely attractive Michael Bastian (if you're into the hot, successful daddy types). Of course the highlight of Gant was the nearly naked models showering in the window (delicious eye candy). Finally our last stop of the night was Lord and Taylor which turned out to be uneventful but nice none the less.
Well dear readers that was by quick September recap. October was not thrilling I unwillingly admit. As I mentioned earlier, I promise to post more often my fashion loves.
