New York Fashion Week

July 10th, 2009 by admin

The New York fashion week has always been a major event for famous fashion designers, models and fashion conscious individuals. This is an opportunity for the designers, both famous and upcoming, to showcase their collections. The event was usually hosted in Bryant Park which is an 8 acre park where huge tents were set up and are adorned by lavish runways. The fashion week is held twice a year, in the fall and in spring.

Being an avid fan of fashion and religiously following fashion designers, I have always dreamt of going to New York for the fashion week. Unfortunately I wasn’t given the chance for the past few years. However, this year was different. A friend of mine invited me to go to New York with her. She was given free invitations for the New York Fall Fashion Week for 2009. We searched online for New York Vacation Rentals and didn’t have a hard time looking for accommodations. When we got there, I was totally overwhelmed by how beautiful and awesome the event was. For this year, the fashion week was called the Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week since Mercedez-Benz was the sponsor of the event. There were lots of fashion designers, celebrities, journalists/press, and spectators like us. It was really a dream come true for me. Hopefully, I could come back next year or if lucky enough, I hope I could also attend the spring fashion week.
