Brains over looks

Staying in New York you come to realize the fast pace of the city, how hard it is to get the attention of a taxi driver, the many decisions of food, the not so fun fact that your hotel may only serve you three types of muffins in the morning, and even of course the fact that this city never sleeps. New York Fashion Week is one of the biggest events in New York and coming here to the shows year after year it’s a job for me, not just to see what’s will be in stores in March. At a young age when you want to follow your dreams in fashion you never know what the week is going to bring to you. You always have to be ready for whatever the day brings and what you’re going to do.

One thing I notice during my days being here is what people are always wearing. Whether it’s in September or February the weather defiantly has its differences. In September you’ll notice so many people in crazy and bizarre outfits with layers and layers during fashion week, while in February you’ll notice people dress more with less clothing just to look good, feel comfortable, or just to get a picture taken hoping to be in a magazine. Some people dress for comfort based on what mother nature has to offer for that day while others dress to look good and stand out. But overall it doesn’t really matter what you decide to take out of your closet to put on. If you have a job and an opinion that matters that’s what more people will care about then your outfit of the day. Your outfit of the day is just an accessory to who you are. What you know and what you’re capable of is actually the look that people look for.

It doesn’t just have to end with style, I think you should start being weird or if you already have a weird side then shine a light on it. Everyone is quirky and everyone is different and you need to show this in yourself and/or your work. Look at fashion PR Kelly Cutrone who wears all black, tells you how it is, and will be honest with you. Some may find it rude, weird, or even unprofessional but the way she carries herself she gets results. Start thinking about what makes you weird and different and use it to your advantage. Don’t worry about what others will think about it or if they will understand it, worry about how you can make a difference because brains will always come before looks.
