My Trip to NYC and my First New York Fashion Week Runway Show!!

Growing up in New York City, it has always been a dream of mine to attend New York Fashion Week!!  It’s the time of year when all of the fashion trends are set, the color stories become apparent, and when all of the “fashionistas” strut their stuff to watch what’s coming down the runway! Well, I was STOKED to find out that I had a seat at the Dennis Basso Runway show!


Being that it was going to be a long day trip, and I wanted to take a lot of great pictures in crowded places, I knew I needed juice for my phone and something to help me take great photos.  Thank goodness for my HALO and my SELFIE STICK



The Mercedes Benz Fashion week has taken place at Lincoln center over the past few years, and it really is an amazing plaza and space.  Check out the building behind me.  



Once we got through clearance, the venue was filled with the “who’s who” of fashion and editing.  There were lots of spectators taking pictures by the Main stage, so I decided to take one too.



We ran into a lot of QVC friends who were also there to check out the show!! Together we stood in line waiting and anticipating the event!!




And then it was time to enter the theatre!! 



It was so much bigger than I had imagined a runway show to be.  Lots of people (and even celebrities) were all lined up to see the latest trends for the season. 


Then the show started! The lights came down.  The spotlights lit up the runway, and the music poured into the room with a base that shook your seat!  You could taste the excitement! Enter the models…






 



Dennis’s designs were truly works of art.  One of-a-kind pieces that incorporated all elements of design.  What I saw in his show was a lot of metallics, sequins, beading and a feeling of LUX LUX LUX! There was so much attention to detail in the seams, and the fabrics, and his runway had an elegant and edgy sophistication to it.   


When the show was over we went backstage and got to watch Dennis being interviewed and congratulated by so many people.  I took the opportunity to take a picture of his look book, and his interview with the local news network.  



Katie and I had so much to talk about on our train ride home!



It was such a great first experience at NYFW and I can’t wait to go to many more!  What’s your favorite look from the show?
