It was bitterly cold out but New York was set to host a magnificently steamy week of fashion. The stars flocked to the city to preview their favorite designers and models. I had the honor of attending one of Style Fashion Week’s shows, all of their shows were held at Cipriani Dolci, a befitting place with opulent architecture. As I entered a procession of tall, stunning models were heading towards the catwalk. I was instantly captivated by their presence and demeanor and this set the tone for my very first fashion event.
Here is how the evening went:
After a break (from previous fashion show), everyone was seated for the next show that featured the collection of three designers. This show was kicked off by the renowned singer Amanda Holley, who did an excellent job of swaying the listeners to her soulful rhythms, then it was time for fashion! When the first model came on stage everyone stared, then another joined her and stood beside her, and I thought to myself she looked like the first, then to my surprise, both models were joined by yet another who looked like the first and the second models. Yes folks, the show open with triplets, and with this an audible gasp was heard from the audience. Oh yes, what an opening!!!. As the models strutted down the long runway, I could not believe I was there, the lights, cameras, stylish looking people, it was all so much to take in, but in a GREAT way. All three designers had their unique way of showcasing their collection.
After the show was over, everyone was asked to leave their seats to prepare for the next show. In the meantime, I floated around and absorbed the ambiance and activity occurring in the room. On both sides of the room, there were huge banners with the word fashion week and a multitude of groups took turns being photographed in front of the backdrop. As I was walking out of the room the other show was starting. I was happy to have been privileged to experience this spectacular event.
