Hey guys!
So this past weekend I had a great first experience at Couture Fashion week! Yes, a real fashion show in New York City. Might not be mind blowing to you, but to me it had me on cloud nine. May I first say, that never in my life have I attended a big Fashion show in my home town nor in any other state. So this was a big deal for two reasons: 1) One of my close friends was modeling in it & 2) IT WAS HOSTED IN NEW YORK!
Maybe some of you guys don't know, but I have been a pageant gal since I was 14 years old. Last year I had the opportunity to compete in the Ethnic World Internationals with the title of Miss Dominican Republic 2012. I did not win but I was a finalist and met wonderful people that have inspired me in so many ways. As a pageant queen, one must attend events to do appearances, promoting their title/ platform, and volunteering. So since I have been so busy with school I knew this was a perfect time to do an appearance! And thank God I did :)
I got two free seats to attend and went in with a friend. We got their early and got to have some backstage action! I got to meet wonderful make up artists, assistants, and the PRESS. Since I was presented as a pageant queen, many people came up to me and asked to take pictures with me/ of me and handed me their business cards.
My seating was on the second row, but two nice ladies invited me to sit up front! Then the couple next to me decided to leave early and gave me the seats for my friend to join me.In other words the view was amazing.
Enough blabbing about what happened, lets get to the fashion side. Couture Fashion Week was presenting Fall 2013 trends (I know we are barely in Spring!). There was tons of designers like Lourdes Atencio, Kristen Costa, and Ariel Cedno, but the trend that I fell in love with would definitely have to be the creamy lace and and the different shades of brown. The way it was put together was very beautiful. These were mostly all dresses, more or so evening gowns or special occasion dresses. Below is a few pictures that I snapped in motion.
What are your thoughts on these pieces? Are they Fall enough for the runway or they should be darker? I am really interested in your opinions please do comment! Even though I am new to this runway world would love to hear ideas!
Peace&love,
Alba
