NYFW EXPERIENCE FOR THE FIRST TIME – DAY 1 OF NYFW 2017

Last night, I returned home from New York Fashion Week a.k.a. NYFW, with full of inspiration and not to mention I’ve made some new blogger friends & got to meet so many old Instagram friends in person for the first time. it was more than worth it!  Although to be very honest, I was so hesitant about making this time investment and commitment to visit NYFW, but I have to admit that anyone can attend fashion week with a very little effort. I got invited to several shows, which motivated me to go NYC, but if anyone’s hesitant about not being invited, don’t worry – There are so many shows, showrooms, and events that people with different size followings have something to choose from and truly there is something for everyone. If you have a question about NYFW that you would like to have answered, please leave it in the comments or feel free to send me an email or Instagram DM. I will try to answer as many as I possibly can!

My experience for Day 1 of New York Fashion Week…

My first visit was at the Nolcha Shows Fashion event! It was the day before the shows and they hosted a media lounge which was held at the Bryant Park Hotel Terrace Loft.  They previewed Spring/Summer 2018 collections from 8 independent accessories & beauty brands ranging from scarves to jewelry, handbags to shoes, and lipstick to eye cream, including several ethical and sustainable brands. Not only I got to meet with several designers, but I learned about their product, their vision and the mission. Click here to see me featured by BFrow

Then headed to check in to my hotel. And next I headed to La Prairie Party, Barneys New York and ended my day with the Mixology party & popup shop.. The good part about the first day was that the Mixology party was in the same hotel that I stayed.

Such a fun and busy day, early morning flight, attending the parties, previews, pr meetings; but all beyond worth it! Over the next few days, I’m going to be sharing a day-by-day overview on my experience during my first NYFW. I plan on devoting a whole post to sharing some tips and ideas, which will help anyone plan their trip to NYFW especially if you’re planning to go for the first time. Stay tuned!
