New York Fashion Week The Shows are famous all around the world. New York Fashion Week, held in February and September of each year, is a semi-annual series of events (generally lasting 7–9 days) when international fashion collections are shown to buyers, the press, and the general public. It is one of four major fashion weeks in the world, collectively known as the "Big 4", along with those in Paris, London and Milan. It is every fashionistas dream to go inside and view these exclusive shows. It has always been my dream, and somehow with crazy luck, my dream came true. I went to see 3 shows; Francesca Liberatore, Orlando Dugi, and PM Waterlily (Patricia Michaels). The energy and excitement in the room is contagious and you wish it to never end. Each show was different and distinct in its own way and that's what made it so special. Liberatore's collection was very flowy and simplistic with a clear inspiration of the NYC skyline. Dugi's collection was very structured with attention to form and fit, it felt Chinese Dynasty inspired. Michaels' collection was very different from all the rest because she payed close attention to how the outfits would move on the body and catch air while walking. She had many small details which made it very intriguing. When I saw PM Waterlily it felt like I was seeing a water goddess show. I had so much fun and every show was amazing and unique. I can't wait to go hopefully next year again.

What in the world happened to fashion? Online shopping and sweatpants, that's what happened! Have you noticed that every decade people tend to get lazier and lazier? People stopped going to the mall to buy clothes because they rather sit in their beds and be lazy. Don't deny the fact that online shopping is a struggle. You need to buy clothes before you try them on. Online shopping is more expensive (shipping price), more inefficient (shipping time, may have to return if it doesn't fit), and your missing out of the joy of physically touching and finding clothes (many clothes don't look the same online). Everyone is so worried about being comfortable, and they think the only way to achieve this is by wearing sweatpants and sweatshirts. People have this idea in their head that jeans are tight and restrictive, and therefore people stray away from wearing them. But hello wake up people we're in the 21st century! Why do you think they invented jeggings anyway? You're as comfortable as if you are wearing leggings, but you look as stylish as if you were wearing jeans. Dressing lazy makes you feel tired and unproductive. Do society and yourself a favor and wear your jeggings and a cute t-shirt and see how much more confident and energetic you really can be.
