Welcome to Day 3 everyone! Today wasn’t nearly as exhaustive as Day 2, with only one show on my itinerary to cover (originally there were more, but your girl needed a break!). However…let’s talk about it…
The past few days, we’ve been able to get into shows fairly easily. Show your confirmation ticket, walk up to the doors, be escorted to your seat. Done. However, the realness of Fashion Week happened today at the Fall 2016 show of Herve Leger, where we walked in to find that people were 1) in our seats! and 2) that the room was overcrowded so we would have to stand in the back.
Needless to say, I was annoyed because I couldn’t grab photos or real footage of the show!
From what I could see, certain parts of the collection were very reminiscent of another French-fashion brand (*cough, Balmain), with a lot of fringe detailing, embellishment (especially in the coats and outerwear) and bodycon style layering. I enjoyed the collection, just wish I could have had my seat…

However, that brings me to a good point. During NYFW, it’s eat or be eaten. In situations like this, there’s nothing one can do but accommodate. Standing with Esmesha and Sam, I tried peering over the heads of those in front of me or in between armpits… oh well! At the end of the day, I was just blessed that I got to attend the show, so I will gladly take my losses! Plus, Esmesha and I got to snap a photo with stylist, Ashley Dunn.
The wind in New York is making it so hard to tour the city while here, so we called it an early day and headed back home; undoubtedly, I’m here working on show reviews, posts for the following days and scouring Instagram to see who was where today (*sigh, Alexander Wang of course)! Fashion Week is definitely a fun time, but trust and believe the hours are long and sleep is not really a guarantee. I think I went to bed around 2 am, and then was up by 8. Thank goodness for concealer!
Anywho, I’m tired and ready to order some Beef Pho. The next few days should be eventful as we get closer to our first Claire Cares Fashion Show! If you haven’t already, make sure you RSVP. Catch you guys tomorrow!
