N Market: New York Fashion Week FALL 2011

Hey you guys!

New York Fashion Week is officially OVER! This season was very special for me. After 8 years of attending fashion shows on behalf of ESSENCE Magazine, I finally attended shows on my own behalf for N3 Magazine. This feeling was amazing! This was my first season attending shows at Lincoln Center. I felt a way about this. After going to the tents in Bryant Park for years, I felt betrayed that fashion week made this major move. Although Lincoln center is more spacious and is still a direct stop on my train, the B line, I felt like I was at a Las Vegas trade show...so, the jury is still out on the rating for this new location. It just felt like something was missing. On a brighter note, I saw all my PR girls (shout out to my girls at Betsey Johnson for 3rd row seats :) and got to catch up with people I had not seen in a few seasons. As I handed out love, hugs and my cool biz cards (EVERYONE has been in awe by them, I guess they are used to the average magazine biz card; white or cream, black type on matte paper. So I cant blame them:) Shout out to Ada Uzoma again for bringing my design vision to life!) My girl Qianna Smith, Fashion Editor at FashionQandA.com, was in from London so you know we had to do some shows together. The ever fab Dapper Lou was caught snapping shots of all the stylish people after the shows ended for his blog dapperlou.com. And last but not least, my Senior Editor Crystal Cunningham rolled with me and we represented N3 Magazine together! Along the way we had the pleasure of meeting Crystal Streets and got a peek at her newest jewelry collection on display at MB Fashion Week, Lyra Love Star. Next we ran into Atiba, a stylist also from House of Glam who leaked to us that he was currently on tour with PRINCE!!! He was MAD cool, and had a #FDC (a section soon to come on n3magazine.com that means FLY DOPE COOL for those not familiar) haircut that I loved! All in all, I had a great week. Until next time!!!!!
