This past week has been an utterly surreal experience, as I hopped on a plane to New York City to cover Fashion Week. New York Fashion Week is something any fashion-enthusiast dreams of being apart of – And I was no different.

“Your dreams must be
bigger than your fears.”

The event provides top designers an international platform to showcase their collections to more than 100,000 industry insiders from around the world, including buyers, editors, retailers, celebrities, VIPs, and more. With more than 80 designers shows over 8 days, it is known as the premier event worldwide where style, beauty, supermodels, and celebrities come together to celebrate the best in fashion.

I was given the opportunity to shoot NYFW for FacesofNYFW.com and Fashionising.com and less than two week later I was thrown into the middle of the beautiful Chaos; A week I will never forget.

There are little words I can find right now to describe the experience of being in the heart of everything you have ever wanted; surrounded by inspiring, creative, talented, beautiful, legendary, and successful peers who share the same love for fashion, photography, and all things creative that you do. I’m pretty sure my life was made this week.

As I walked down the streets of Manhattan this past week, I couldn’t help but be in awe of the amazing opportunities I have been blessed with so far. It’s as if everyone in this city is chasing a dream but here dreams don’t always stay just dreams – And that’s key.
