Working the ASM Fashion Week International event wasn't the only cool thing I got to experience during Fashion Week. There was a huge amount of different events going on and opportunities that students at the Fashion Institute of Technology were offered during NYFW. I received free tickets via my FIT email address to go and listen to famous fashion photographer Nigel Barker speak at a swanky venue in Brooklyn about how fashion design has influenced society over the years. It was a great experience for me especially because I have always admired him ever since he was a judge/photographer on America's Next Top Model. Unfortunately, I did not win tickets to Givenchy's first showing at New York Fashion Week, (see my last post if you don't know what I'm talking about) BUT a couple of my friends did win them including my roommate so I got to hear all about it. I also watched the live stream of the show so that was good enough for me. The only thing that I was sad about was hearing the entire novel of celebrities that my friends got to see in person and basically sit next to including Kim Kardashian, Kanye West, Anna Wintour, Nicki Minaj, and the list goes on and on; I might start crying if I keep going so I'll stop now.
Another exciting yet unfortunate event that occurred was that I got a VIP bracelet to one of my favorite brand's fashion show after parties known as Hood By Air (HBA), a luxury streetwear brand worn by many celebrities including Drake, Kanye West, and A$AP Rocky but I was denied entry after standing in a huge line because I wasn't 21. I also forgot to mention that I almost got a backstage pass to the Hood By Air fashion show when I was looking for the ASM Fashion Week International event which was in the same building as the Hood By Air fashion show! I got to see tons of Hood By Air models and a few of the creative minds behind the brand in the flesh. One of the HBA models who walked in the show even initiated conversation with me and said that I was very fashionable so it was pretty good day for me if I do say so myself. Although, fashion week wasn't as great as it could have been for me, I still had a great time and I am so grateful for the opportunities I was able to take advantage of as a student at FIT. I have done a lot in the past month and have a lot more great news to share in my next few posts so keep reading. Also, Happy October! :)
