VFW Day 1: Behind the Scenes
Fashion Week is perfect people watching. Having to spend the entire day in a contained area means you end up spotting everyone who walks in, and since I love seeing what everyone is wearing, this worked to my advantage. So even though I almost melted from waiting outside in the sun and my stomach was rumbling by showtime, it was perfectly fine because I fan-girled over the fabulous outfits and interesting personalities present.
To start out the day I attended a fitting starting at 10 am which was quite honestly just sitting outside with all the models for multiple hours and then actually trying on clothes for only about one hour total. This was proceeded by a few walk throughs to practice for the runway and then a bit of waiting until hair and makeup.
The designers I ended up walking for were Nyoluoch and Dawson & Deveraux, the first look being a colorful retro style dress and hat made with fabric from Africa, and the second dress being a Chanel esque tweed number.
