Fashion In The City

When you think New York, you think fashion capital of the world. So when I first moved here to New York City last year, I had visions of the streets dotted with trendy, stylish people like the ones you see on The Satorialist, Jak and Jil and Street Peeper. But boy was I disappointed! I rarely saw cool street fashion and the general public I saw on the streets were NOT stylish. OK, the fact I live in Financial (aka uncool) District where you get only the corporate types and tourists did not help…

BUT once I started to get to know the city better I learnt that you CAN see these individuals with great sartorial style, you just need to know where to look. And you can also find great fashion inspirations in so many other ways. There are always fashion events and exhibitions happening or even just looking in the right stores and streets will get you clued into what’s hot in fashion. So now I think: How lucky am I to be in one of the greatest fashion capitals where you get fashion education right at your doorsteps!

In this video, I want to share some of fashion happenings and places I checked out recently. Amongst them are an outdoor fashion exhibition where you can auction for the exhibits,an exhibition in one of world’s greatest museums, and all these many cool stores.

Enjoy!
