Fashion week is an event that everyone knows about, even if you aren’t in the industry. The tabloids and the media are all buzzing with who’s at the shows, what the designers are showing, and what the people are wearing. The bloggers and media are out in full force covering the action. Even the bystanders get involved by wearing their trendiest outfits trying to be photographed or attending shows. It could be described as the event of the year. Which happens twice a year and in the biggest cities for extra fashion madness!
For those die-hard fashion lovers like myself, we follow fashion week like it’s our food supply. We read, watch, and divulge into the shows and the clothes. It can almost be described as an addiction.
For those lucky enough to get an invite, they get a special chance to attend these shows and presentations while the rest of us follow online. This year, I am getting the chance to be one of those attending the shows. I have the honor of attending my very first NY Fashion week. In my opinion, it is probably one of the best fashion weeks in existence. I have religiously followed the shows, but this year I get to do it in person. Saying that I was excited to be going is an understatement. Along with that joy, I had this underlying fear of what to wear! You have to be off the charts on the fierce scale to keep up with these seasoned veterans. Plus, nobody wants to end up on the tabloids “worst dressed list”. You have to keep up with the fast pace all while staying relevant in six in heels.
The first of the shows I attended was Kuning which was the line’s debut collection as well. We were both making our maiden debuts: myself attending the shows and Kuning showing a collection. It was created by two girls named Amanda and Lauren. The presentation took place at the Empire Hotel in one of the rooms upstairs. When you first walked into the room, the floor was covered in fake grass. As you looked around the room, there were various settings where the models were posing. The models could be seen having high tea with cupcakes, sitting with a poodle, and another was in a bird cage. The guests were shuffled to the edges of the room and the models starting dancing in the middle of the room. The music was upbeat as the models were moving to choreographed dance moves. There was shuffling, lifts, and twirls. The dance moves could be described as robotic but it brought this edge to the whimsical clothes. After the dance routine, the models returned back to their original positions. It was almost as though they displayed a story through their emotions. This style and show could be compared to that of the Sartorialist movement. The entire presentation was this wordless story. The line was athletic inspired with clean lines and impeccable seams. The clothes were basic but the little details brought that trendy factor. It was quite a creative show! You were almost transported to fairytale land filled with green grasses, high tea, and cupcakes.
