Never in my life have I had a week this busy AND fun. Starting the thursday before last was New York Fashion week and my internship at METAL was in full swing. All week I was running from place to place getting ready for METAL's fashion week closing party as well as going from show to show looking at the season's newest collections. I also experienced my first show in the famous tents at Bryant Park! It was amazing. So many chic people in black and fur - I got to see some of the industry's leaders and notables. In addition to the shows, I went to presentations which are basically come-and-go type events where you can view the collections like a gallery. I got to go to a few fashion parties too, starting monday night. Got to meet a lot of cool people, saw some people I already knew and definitely had a lot of fun. The METAL party itself was a success and I was glad to be a part of it, even though I stood out in the cold doing the guestlist for nearly three hours. I felt like I had so much power holding the clipboard and deeming people worthy or not of entering. Aside from fashion week, I helped out at a look book shoot that my mentor was styling for and that was a lot of fun. I got to help put looks together and accessorize them to shoot. It took two very long days but I think it will turn out well. Now that fashion week is over, I probably won't be as busy but I hope the positive experiences keep coming! Until next time, which hopefully will be sooner than the last time I posted.
