Hello and Happy Wednesday my friends! 

I hope the week is treating you well so far! Mine is good, but it is pretty busy! That's okay though, it keeps me out of trouble as they say! 

This week for my Fashion Insp post, I wanted to write about New York Fashion Week! It is one of the most elite fashion events in particular for emerging designers. I love to follow Fashion Week! Thankfully with the help of social media, it has gotten more accessible to get that 'front row' seat! New York Fashion Week is already well under way, and Charlotte Fashion Week is about to begin today, so I decided what a better time to take a closer look at Fashion Week than now!

This year New York Fashion Week (NYFW) also called the 'Super Bowls of Fashion' kicked off on Thursday September 8th and goes through Monday September 12th. It is part of the 'Big 4' womenswear shows that take place twice a year (February and September). The other three shows included in the 'Big 4' take place in London, Milan, and Paris. Many big-name designers are returning again this year, Michael Kors, Proenza Schouler, Brandon Maxwell, Christian Siriano, and Tory Burch just to name a few. 

Through Instagram, I -along with everyone else- have been able to see many of the runway looks. So far, my favorites are Christian Siriano (hands down!), Tommy Hilfiger, and Jason Wu.

New York was the first city that began to organizing shows seasonally and in 1943 the first NY show was organized. At the time it was called 'Fashion Press Week.' It brings in about 200,000 attendees each year and generates a great deal of revenue for the city. More than other high profiled events like the US Tennis Open and the New York City Marathon. 

Interestingly enough, of the 'Big 4' fashion shows, NY used to be the last to take place. It became the first in 1998 when designer Helmut Lang decided to move from Vienna to NY and showcase his collections before any of the big European shows. He was quickly joined by other designers, which made NY the first major show of the year to take place!  
So, what can you expect to see on the runways this year? I noticed lots of color! Bright, bold, monochromatic looks. Interestingly enough, I didn't see a whole lot of prints! Some prints, but not as many as in previous years. There was a lot of very sharp, crisp, clean lines and menswear inspired pieces. One collection (which I cannot recall at the moment writing this but if I think of it later I will post it in Stories) was very futuristic and edgy, which I think will be very interesting to see going forward! Glitter/sequins was another big theme I noticed this year. I think that is going to be very big in the Spring. 

One thing I love about NWFY is the venues! Over the course of the week numerous shows are taking place all over the city! I believe this year Christian Siriano had a collection debut in Elizabeth Taylor's home! Others take place in high rise buildings. Some in ballrooms. Vogue World -which I have to look into for a future post- was held outside in pouring rain! It is just another level of creativity that is showcased at NYFW!

I hope you enjoyed this! And stay tuned! I have some exciting things to share with you soon! See you on Friday!
