I know this is very late for my experience but so much has happened after the month of February that I am finally now getting the chance to sit down and write about my experience at New York Men's Fall Fashion Week. First off how I even got the chance to attend was from a friend of mine,Jay, whom I had met at Teen Vogue's Fashion University last spring had invited me to the Concept Korea show.
Me and Jay had been communicating because he knew that I had recently moved to New York, and he had made it known to me that him and a friend were coming to New York for Men’s Fashion Week. That weekend before the start of Fashion week he messaged me and asked if I wanted to go. OF COURSE! So after about a 2-hour 80s Inspired movie dress up session,I had finally picked out the right outfit ,planned my travel,and knew when and where I was to meet them,Jay and Douglas,for the show.
Now mind you this was my first big,official fashion show I had ever been too, so I didn’t have a clue what to expect.What I experienced was literally life changing and irreplaceable in my book.For me I was somewhere that i have always dreamed about ,so in that literal sense I was living out my dream. Which is pretty awesome for someone who had only been in New York for about 3 weeks.
Long story short the show and day went from amazing to even better because after we attended that show we received word about Public School giving away tickets to their fashion show the next day. From that moment we proceeded to wait in line for said tickets for about 5 hours, however in those five hours I met some pretty amazing people whom I’ve become pretty good friends with In such a short time ( Shout out to Ivan,Ian,and Hasani). That waiting in line spurred me going to several shows the entire week and just having the best week ever. I’m not going to lie I was star struck on several occasions but like professional that I am I masked it well.
All in all it was a pretty amazing experience I wouldn't trade it for the world. I got to do pretty much everything I dreamed about doing since moving to New York.
I am planning on leaving some helpful tips to survive and make the best of Fashion week whether it be men’s or women’s, so make sure to read those if you’re thinking about traveling to attend fashion week or if you are a newbie to fashion week like I was!
Until next time don’t forget to smile,
