Week before fashion week

Since my major is fashion marketing and I have such an interest for it I am always looking to chances to work at any fashion events. I am more interesting in the business side of fashion. So when I found out Lynn University was doing a fashion study tour to New York City to work fashion week I knew it would be one of the greatest opportunities I would experience. It is now a few days before I leave for fashion week and I am so excited!! There is so much to expect for next week and according to the schedule we were given about the events we are going to work a lot. Hopefully we can get some free stuff too!!  

Some of the designers I have never heard of like, Richard Wu, how is the designer of VLOV, apparently he is a designer based in China. Figured by the name Wu. It will still be interesting to see some of his work and learn about the fashion world of China. And of course I'm sure everyone has heard of the department stores Bloomingdale's and Saks Fifth Avenue and if you haven't they are more upscale department stores, $$. Ive never heard of Anthony Luciano either but as an Italian fashion designer I already know his pieces are going to be magnifico (magnificent). A little fun fact: Milan, Italy is the fashion capital of the world. There are a bunch of designers, name brands, and stores that we are working with that I haven't heard of. But I am very anxious, excited, and interested in getting to know their background and learning from them which will ultimately help me in my future. 


I know everyone has heard of Tommy Hilfiger. He is such a popular designers especially with all his polo shirts that come in like a hundred different colors. Anyway we are meeting with Ginny Hilfiger, a design director. Oh ya and Tommy Hilfiger's sister!!

The most exciting event for me that we will be working is with the Tiger J collection. I didn't know which collection this was at first but once i found out, I was freaking excited! Tiger J is the collection for the store Dash. The stores Dash are run by the Kardashion sisters, now I definitely know everyone knows who they are. I always watch their show and follow their collection. I know their show is crazy and so am I for watching it, but I love them!! Each sister has their own unique style and idea for their collection. I think it is amazing because it gives girls an opportunity to try new styles and be able to pick a style their like. Also, the collection is not just for skinny girls but allows girls with curves to wear their line.     











After reading an article i found out that the Kardashion's youngest sister, Kylie Jenner, will be walking the runway during New York City fashion week. She will be walking in Avril Lavigne's fashion show, Avril Lavigne has a fashion collection? Every one of the members of the Kardashion/ Jenner family has made enormous accomplishments. I would consider myself lucky if I made a fourth of the accomplishments as they have. I definitely look up to them. They are also great business women. Plus they are a very good looking family. Hopefully I get to meet them next week and maybe even learn something from them. That would be incredible!!

The worst part about this trip is figuring out what to pack! I want to make sure I look fashionable while also looking presentable. I most likely will end up packing my entire closet. But of course it would be wise not to pack jeans and shorts. Overall I am extremely! excited! about this trip. I have lived in New York my entire life and only a hour from Manhattan. I have always been interested in fashion and yearned to have an opportunity like this. Finally I have gotten that opportunity. It goes to show that the best things in life are worth waiting for.
