5 NYFW Events You Can Actually Get Into

Another season of NYFW is getting ready to kick off! I've always loved the energy of fashion week, and the huge concentration of creativity and style. Even before I started blogging, I was usually able to attend a few shows thanks to work or snagging invites from my friends in PR or editorial. This is the first season I'm getting invites in my own name and I can't even tell you how good that feels!

If you are still hustling to get your name on lists, or trying to find creative ways to slip past the iPad wielding fashion show gatekeepers, stay positive and persistent! And keep yourself busy with some of the many NYFW associated events that are open to the public.

Here's my roundup of a few of my favorite options!

The Future of Fashion, presented by ShopDrop and Tabu

This event promises cutting edge tech, emerging designers, swag bags & free drinks, plus a raffle for a $12,000 Beyonce dress designed by Inbal Dror! You won't want to miss this one, so get your tix here!

Style Fashion Week

Style Fashion Week presents interesting shows by emerging designers, performances by innovative artists and unique art installations. This season's tagline is Fashion + Art + Music + Commerce so should be an event to remember. The full line-up and tickets are available here.

Couture Fashion Week

Get ready to feast your eyes! Couture Fashion Week presents 3 days of couture and luxury fashion shows that will have you drooling. Several designers from around the world will present exquisite garments and accessories that will probably never make it into your wardrobe, but will inspire nonetheless. Register here.

Art Hearts Fashion

This show was one of my favorites last season! Art Hearts Fashion is a space pushing for fashion to be more inclusive. The lineup is always a fun, fierce and inspirational one, and the space is simply stunning.

Harlem Fashion Week

Escape the crowds around most of the NYFW venues and head uptown to Harlem for a unique fashion experience. Plus proceeds go to the Junior Scholars Program at the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture in Harlem. Check out details here!
