What’s Happening With NY Fashion Week?
This time of the year is one that we’re always looking forward to, but this year’s fashion week will be different. It doesn’t have a choice. Gone are the runway shows that we used to know with hundreds of guests. Photographs of off-duty models and guests being snapped paparazzi on the way to shows? Don’t count on it. The event will still happen September 13-17th, but with more rules and regulations than ever before. Shows and presentations will have strict guides that they need to follow. Any outdoor presentations can be held, but only at a max capacity of 50 people total. Indoor events will have 50% max capacity and no spectators.
How each designer will determine how this is done is a huge mystery to me, but one that I’m curious about. Will the typical celebrities still attend? Are they the most important in attendance? New York has recovered immensely than the state is was in at the very start of this pandemic, but I’m glad to see that they haven’t jumped all in with re-opening and are taking their time with it.
As we’ve seen this summer, many of the resort shows were pulled from in-person runways and instead shared their collections online. We can anticipate that going virtual will be a popular choice for this year’s Fashion Week, but also the safest.

I Like Your Style…
Nina Dobrev in Alex Perry
Since 2010, Nina has been on my radar as the one to watch. And now, not only is she on a hit CW television series – Vampire Diaries – she is also making the lists for being a best dressed celebrity. Newly single and with the world ahead of her and her blossoming career, I am excited to see how far she’ll push the boundaries with her red carpet looks.

Fashion Week Salaries
I’m loving this infographic designed by PayScale. The fashion industry will probably be an industry that I will always be fascinated by.

KCD Introduces Digital Fashion Shows

Leading public relations and production agency, KCD, announced this morning that they will be revealing a new fashion platform during New York’s Fashion Week this February. Buyers and press will be able to exclusively view fashion shows only online. In the past, we have seen shows that were available for livestream, but KCD will take this one step further by releasing shows that are previously taped and scheduled to air at later times. The best part is that they can be viewed long after Fashion Week even ends!
Those that are invited by KCD to view the fashion shows will be given a username and password, but if we’re lucky, maybe they’ll choose to share them with us by embedding videos to their blog.
The first show to air will be on February 15 staring with Prabal Gurung’s ICB Collection for Onward Kashiyama.
What I would do to be able to be a part of this exclusive list…So jealous!

The Battle For Fashion Week
Fashion Week (or as like to call it – Fashion Month) is about to become much more pretentious than ever before. Fashion Month works because none of them overlap. First comes New York, then comes London. After that, we have Milan and Paris is last. Turns out, Milan is not happy with that arrangement.
Milan has reportedly decided to place their Fashion Week in dates that would conflict with both New York and London’s fashion weeks, which is going to send every fashion magazine into a frenzy. Milan is essentially giving them an ultimatum and trying to prove who is most powerful out of the fashion capitals.
Who will rise to the top? Only time will tell.
