A Glimpse into New York Fashion Week 2016

As I got to know in the papers about the ramp walk by a 19-year-old acid attack victim from India 'Reshma Qureshi', I thought why not go and attend the New York Fashion Show. After all, I live just across the river in New Jersey, and New York being one of the four fashion capitals in the world, was calling me. There were still very few shows left and most of them were paid. In fact, had I not accidently opened their website, I wouldn't have had known that some shows were/are still open to public. I always thought that New York Fashion Week had something to do with industry professionals, fashion designers and the like. 

The website of NYFW is confusing. Very confusing. In fact, when I was searching for locations, I got multiple locations and that kept me wondering are the shows happening by the same designer at multiple locations, same time and how is that even possible? With lack of no numbers given online, I thought of going along with the first option - i.e I thought of heading towards the one near Empire State Building.

As soon as I arrived, I noticed the cars in artistic paints and opulent shapes were lined up. A little ahead was the entrace to the NYFW. I asked one of the members at the site, that since Naeem Khan's show was a public entry, can I? She requested me to ask the person at door. He bluntly said, on RSVP only. I couldn't have argued more, on why the website mentioned it was public free entry if it wasn't so. No sooner, I tried to RSVP for the next show, for which I never got a reply. 

I instead decided to join the Paparazzi and how I loved being at the door. I loved it because, all the models who would come out of the ramp, and walk outside the door, would exlusively pose for the paparazzi. I also loved it because, some styles stood apart. After all it was New York Fashion Week. And then in the middle of all this, I saw the anchors and hosts from the TV channel recording their piece.

All in all, I had a good two three house after which there was a dull silence. The silence of not receiving any RSVP for the next show at 6pm. It was a lovely day in New York but slowly the gloomy clouds had set in, and so there was heavy rain. In that heavy rain, I saw a beautiful rainbow. New York no matter how intimidating is entertaining, it was a few weeks before when I saw Arjun Kapoor shooting at Central Park. No wonder, when I took the Ferry back and saw the sunset , I firmly said to myself 'Gal Next February in New York Fashion Week' You have got to be here, and so when the schedules would be out, I would be sending the RSVP mails to the given id on the website, so that I don't miss one.
