Another New York Fashion Week has come and go. The September NYFW is the biggest one of the two (another one in February). In September they show the Spring collection of the following year, and in February they show the fall collection. The reasoning for is is because back in the day before everything was instance gratification, fashion week was for buyers, editors, and stylists. Buyers of stores like Bergdorf’s to see what they wanted in their stores, stylists to see what they wanted to style their clients in, and editors (Vogue, Harper’s Bazaar) to write in their magazines so their readers will know what will be on trend in the upcoming season. Now-a-days with social media, bloggers, and live streaming, showing a collection 6 months in advance is starting to become an ancient idea. More brands are showing ready to wear items that can be bought now (but not all brands do this). Other’s have pathed their own path by showing their collection outside of the famous week. Fashion week has really changed over the years but I still think it holds the same magic. Every show I attend I feel like I am on cloud 9. I used to sit at home and watch the shows live stream, praying that someday I will be in that room. And here I am, attending my 7th season, sitting in front row of a few shows, and having a marvelously time doing so!
