New York Fashion Week


Qoute of the Day: "I think there is beauty in everything. What ‘normal’ people would perceive as ugly, I can usually see something of beauty in it."
                                                                                  — Alexander McQueen
Song of the Day: RadioHead- Lotus Flower (Jaques Greene Remix)
There comes a time in one's life where everything social media needs to be shut off. A time where celebrities get front row seats to the hottest of shows. A time where over-credited socialites like Kendall Jenner are rubbing shoulders with fashion royalty like Anne Wintour. This time is Fashion Week.

Sorry that I haven't updated in a while but I couldn't bare to see all the Instagram photos or stupid tweets of how awesome people with equally as awesome lives were living it up this past week while I stayed at home with a smashed iPhone screen and an abundant amount of English homework. I'll tell you this before I start, every time fashion weeks comes around I tend to coincidentally disappear off the face off the earth and drown my sorrows in cheap Chapman's ice cream. So next time I go Caspar you'll know why.

There are four major fashion weeks and for some reason Toronto thinks their part of that fantastic four which is laughable to say the least. NYC, Milan, London and Paris come together twice a year to tell us what's in and what's out. They show us the newest trends of the season so we don't commit fashion suicide when frolicking the streets of our hometown, and for that we are extremely grateful. With 256 shows in about the time span of a month it's no wonder Fashion Week is one of the most popular events in the world. But sadly it is near impossible to see all these shows at once with all the intertwining schedules. It's a dog eat dog world, what can I say? 

Now, I'm sure there were many awesome and wonderful collections strutting down the Mercedes Benz catwalk but naming all of them would be a bore. So I'm going to stick with all the highlights of last week.
