It was SO COLD outside it was crazy of me to even go there. My hands were numb and the wind was blowing so crazy I lost my hat at least five times. You can tell my face was like frozen and that we just wanted to shoot then bundle up again. It was totally fun though!
I usually head up to Fashion Week every semester. Sadly not to see shows, which is almost impossible most of the time. It takes crazy connections! I like to go to see the street style, which is a runway show in itself. The people that attend go all out every season and hang out around Lincoln Center hoping to photographer's attention. If you're lucky maybe you'll make it in an article about bet street style from fashion week post from Vogue or Marie Claire. I felt so special when two photographers asked to take my picture! It was a great feeling knowing I was stylish enough! My photo will probably be another file crowding their computer, but it's a great experience to have some ask. So many stylish fashionistas plan an outfit for every day of Fashion Week, head out, freeze their butts off and hope for a glimpse of attention. I went one day, in a fairly casual look, so it was a lucky and cool experience. I will continue to scope Fashion Week from the outside until my day comes when I'm invited to a show. Dreams do and will come true!
P.S. If anyone finds my picture somewhere hit a girl up! (lol)
