NYC for Fashion Week
Last month I went to NYC for Fashion Week. I know, I know, I am waaay too late with all my content. Catching up on some articles while I am traveling in Australia right now.
I just want to line up all the outfits here for you and a few shows that I attended. It was amazing to do New York Fashion Week again. I can’t wait for next season already π

WOW Air
Flying in this sharp purple pink WOW Air plane to NYC. You have a transfer stop in Iceland (Reykjavik). It’s a budget airline. No entertainment system and no included food and drinks, but it looks flashy brand new inside. It’s definitely worth it if you’re are looking for cheap tickets to NYC from β¬350!
Street Office
On my first day in New York, I chose a little different office location than usual. Work needs to be done after all, and sitting in the streets of New York City was quite an experience, I tell you.

New York pass
Times Square, the heart of New York City
Everybody should have been at least one at Times Square. It’s a mesmerizing experience to be right there, in the heart of New York, the center of the world.
Gucci
Gucci is a girl’s best friend, or was it diamonds? In any case, stopping by at Gucci in New York was one of the top bullet points on my bucket list. I love the brand and its individuality and as you can see, they do not only create pretty clothes and accessories, but also the most extravagant store.
Motel Morris
Motel Morris is a bar and restaurant located on the southwest corner of seventh avenue and eighteenth street in the Chelsea, New York City.Β The menu is season American with global influences and “fun nods” to classic American dishes. Chef Bill McDaniel wanted to create something different and I can just approve, it was delicious.

Victoria’s Secret
As every other girl on the planet, I’m a big fan of the beautiful couture by Victoria’s Secret. I share their love for lace and details that seem to appear everywhere, I mean, this is a golden restroom!
The NYFW event at Victoria’s Secret was special indeed.

Room for Tea
https://www.roomforteanyc.com/
Room for Tea is the first tea-themed immersive art pop-up in NYC and it was quite a bubbly experience. Inspired by the diversity of (tea) cultures around the world, they wanted to celebrate the individual adoptions in New York City by creating a journey of 40 minutes with 5 scenes and 18 visual highlights.
Because of my Chinese background, I know about the importance of tea. The concept of the Chinese tea culture is referred to in Chinese as “chayi” which means “the art of drinking tea”. Offering a cup of tea in China can have several meanings, for example, a sign of respect, to show gratitude (at Chinese weddings the bride and groom serve tea to their parents to thank them for raising them) or to apologize. I grew up with the importance of tea and its metaphors, so the Room of Tea was a really fascinating experience for me.

Maybelline New York
As you might have noticed, I am really into Beauty products, make up and perfume. So the Maybelline event at the New York Fashion Week was a must-do for me. Checking out the new collections and chatting with stylist, I also got introduced to the beautiful model Adriana Lima.

Gemy Maalouf
The first line of Gemy Maalouf was launched with the purpose to make high-end designs available to all women. The deluxe collections consist of evening gowns with materials and cuts that richly reflect the refined beauty of the designerβs work. Stopping by at fashion week, meeting the designer for a bit, and admiring the dresses from up close. I couldn’t hold myself and had to try on one of the beautiful gowns, but it was a little bit too long for me, don’t you think? π
Strolling through the city
Chinatown
I grew up with a complete Chinese family, that means with Chinese food. So I alsways get excited to go to Chinatowns for food. So went right after the show for some hand-pulled noodles. blazer:Β H&M/ bag:Β Louis VuittonΒ / t-shirt:Β MajeΒ / skirt:Β H&MΒ / shoes:Β Mango
Nana Judy
Next stop: Nana Judy Fashion Show. The new collection was absolutely stunning. Bomber jackets and cute shorties with chunky boots. The high light was seeing Winnie Harlow in action during the show!
Nana JudyΒ is different and unique which is what we stand for and transcends into each piece of our clothing, continuously pushing the boundaries of premium streetwear. NANA stands for loyalty and legacy, JUDY stands for unique and rare like the that of a Dalmatianβs spots.
Sally LaPointe
sallylapointe.com Sally LaPointe is a Women’s Designer Ready-to-wear collection based in NYC. Their signature style is oversized knits. The Fashion week looks had a lot of pink and beige colors and it was really original and different. I wish I could every look I saw on this runway!

Dig Ferreira
During Fashion Week, we met Artist Dig Ferreira who worked on the streets illustrating people. His drawing was absolutely stunning and the craziest thing about it? He used his mouth as a tool!
Estee Lauder
The EstΓ©e Lauder event was another bullet point on my bucket list. I love the brand and especially their lipstick collection! It was a pleasure to meet the model Grace Elizabeth, the ambassador of the Pure Color Desire collection <3

NYFW
In NYC you have to make time for shopping and Soho is one of my favorite places to go.
CONSTRUCTIONS
One of my favorite looks in NYC. This kick-ass look matches so well with the orange construction sight that you see everywhere on the streets of New York.
