Snapshots from New York Fashion Week FW15

Lincoln Center New York Fashion Week

Fashion Week has once again come and gone and I can’t believe that this is the last New York Fashion Week sponsored by Mercedes-Benz and the last time it will be at Lincoln Center. While I mourn these losses, I can’t wait to see the new venues and spring collections September has to bring. Fingers crossed for a triumphant return to Bryant Park.

Katty Xiomara SS15 at Nolcha Fashion Week

Nolcha

Emerging fashion designer Katty Xiomara brought a modern take on the 50s housewife to the runway at Nolcha Fashion Week. Her preppy styles are both wearable and relatable to the all-American woman while the conservative elements of the collection made it stand out among the Spring 2015 collections.

Nicole Miller Fall 2013 Inspiration & Runway Preview

Livestream

This Friday February 8th at 6:00 p.m. I will be descending upon Lincoln Center to view Nicole Miller‘s Fall ’13 collection on the runway.   The inspiration behind this collection is “Girls Who Dress Like Boys.”  I can’t wait to see these timeless tomboy looks hit the runway complete with menswear-inspired patterns and subdued colors.  As a preview for the show, I was sent these inspirational sketches as a teaser of what’s to come.  Even if you won’t be at Fashion Week, you can still watch the show live with me.  Not only will it be streamed live on Nicole Miller’s website and Facebook page, it will also be streaming live right here on Aspiring Socialite!

Front Row at the Express 2011 Holiday Collection Preview in Times Square

Socialites are no strangers to finding themselves front row at major fashion shows. Thanks to the generous invite of Lucky Magazine and Express, I found myself front row at Express’ 2011 Holiday Collection Preview in Times Square just a few feet away from Catherine Malandrino. Prior to showing their holiday collection, Express broke a record earlier that day for the biggest fashion show ever setting a world record for the most people to walk down a runway.

Before the show, seven other bloggers including My Visa Hates Me, Pretty Connected, Court and Hudson, MissWhoever You Are, Sweet Caroline in the City, Diary of a Fashion Addict, The Budget Babe, and I were invited to the penthouse of the Muse Hotel for some pre-runway drinks and makeup touch ups with Pre-Dame. I absolutely loved the makeup they chose for me complimented by my first set of false eyelashes, which were perfect for the occasion. After getting glam at The Muse, we were off to the heart of Times Square for some backstage access into the show. I have to say that this was the hottest runway show I have ever been to in far more ways than one. In the mist of a heat wave, the models flawlessly walked down the runway in this year’s winter fashions and holiday dresses. The energy was absolutely amazing and I am so honored to have been chosen to be a part of it.

Look at me! I’m backstage!

Socialites love bling and this skirt has it!

Express’ Holiday 2011 Collection is full of sparkle.  Prefect for holiday party dresses.

Love the blue in the skirt and of course the sparkles in the top.

Can you spot Catherine Malandrino?

Express & Lucky Magazine Cocktail Party at the Cooper Square Hotel Rooftop

In preparation for the HUGE world record Express will be setting tomorrow Saturday July 23rd for the biggest runway show in history, I was invited to a VIP Cocktail Party where I dressed up in some fab Express accessories and posed for pictures in the beautiful penthouse of the Cooper Square Hotel.  Not to mention sipped pink champagne with some of NYC’s finest bloggers, magazine, and marketing people.  Express’ summer accessories totally have me looking ready for Bridgehampton Polo or the Kentucky Derby, especially with that adorable floppy straw hat.  Socialites are never too old to play dress up and I have the pictures to prove it.

You too can RSVP on Facebook to Rock the Sidewalk tomorrow in Times Square.  Not only will you get a chance to be part of fashion history like Grace Kelly or Audrey Hepburn, all eligible participants will receive a special t-shirt to remember the occasion and be entered for a chance to win a $250 Express Gift Card.  If you won’t be in the New York City area, the show will also be streaming live beginning at 9 PM ET on express.com, Facebook, and the Express Mobile App.  You might even get a glimpse of me in the VIP section in the Mesh Overlay Rouched Dress with the Tiered Fringe Long Necklace.  You will also get a sneak peak of the 2011 Holiday Collection long before it hits stores.
