And That’s A Wrap | NYFW FW20

Last season I told myself I wouldn’t take off work to attend shows, so I ran down the streets of New York on my lunch break. Basically, I exhausted myself. So this season I approached it differently. I allocated as many shows as I could on Friday (took a half-day), the weekend, and Tuesday (took off). So much easier! I was actually able to enjoy my days while finishing all my actual work beforehand. As far as the shows — I spent most of January pitching myself to brands and PR agents, scheduling out the week, and coordinating my work to accommodate taking time off — all worth it. This season was spectacular, not only because of the shows themselves but the fact that I was able to get to this point. A point where I was able to manifest actually attending shows like Sally LaPointe, Cynthia Rowley, and Nicole Miller. I’m grateful and humbled by how much effort it took to get here.

As I write this (nearly a week after NYFW) I’m tired. Not a burn out tired, more of an uninspired tired. It’s hard to continue on the momentum of creating content when there isn’t much happening aside from cold weather these days. Everything I create… I hate, which isn’t a word I like to use. I’ve been trying to create video content, which isn’t something I’m good at. I get uncomfortable on camera, plus I’m very hard on myself — so it hasn’t been great. But hopefully (fingers crossed) I snap out of it and get things done!
