There are 2 major events that not only turn the fashion industry but all of New York City upside down and I'm not talking about this blizzard. Mercedes Benz Fashion Week happens twice a year and everyone from celebrities and wholesalers to bloggers and college student plan their lives around events during these weeks. Fashion shows, fashion presentations, after parties, and even walking down the street is time to network during New York Fashion Week.
Being so new to the city (6 months in to my New York residency :D) I thought, I'm lucky to walk down the street and experience the amazing street style that emerges during this time. Fortunately due to my job and a few other people I've met these past months I was able to attend some events!
One event I attended was the Rag & Bone After Party at Up & Down. I currently work at Rag & Bone therefore it was appropriate to wear something from the new Spring/Summer collection.
This is what I wore and how I styled it - I wore the navy Rag & Bone Long Sleeve Basha Dress with a black Rachel by Rachel Roy Pony Hair and Leather Jacket. I accessorized with layering a long Francesca's Collections Cross Necklace with a simple gold Gorjana Griffin Necklace, black opaque tights, black oxford wedges and a navy beret. OH and before I forget the best part I topped everything off with my mom's silver fox coat from the 80's.
The other event I was fortunate enough to attend was the Steven Alan Presentation. A presentation is different from a fashion show in the sense that the models stand in one spot and you are able to walk around them to observe the garments. I've provided a picture below from the Steven Alan Presentation.
Since this was a day time event I went a bit more casual, as it seemed most fashion week goers did.
This is what I wore and how I styled it - I wore Madison Scotch High-Waisted Jeans with a very small cuff at the ankle, a sheer vintage grey Banana Republic Button-Up Blouse, and the same black Rachel by Rachel Roy Pony Hair and Leather Jacket from before. I accessorized with a black and gold Kate Spade Metro Watch, 1960's cube earrings from an amazing vintage site, Rusty Zipper, and my classic black oxford wedges.
