Assignment 2: New York & Fashion

New York is a mecca of creativity, is the ultimate in diversity and is definitive in its fast-paced lifestyle.  New York is the home of fashion. 

Like many of you, I participate in fashion as a fan, a hobbyist and a consumer: we all wait anxiously for the first images to be posted from each and every fashion show at Lincoln Center, 6,000 miles away.  We peruse online fashion sites and blogs for street style images of effortlessly stylish women in New York and we pick up magazines as soon as they hit the rack to read the editor’s take on next season’s trends.  Our appetite is insatiable.  New York is where we look for inspiration. 
 

In San Francisco, my take on fashion is going to be different than yours (whether you are in Phoenix, Chicago, San Antonio, Charlotte…).  And no matter how far or wide it reaches, each permutation of that style or trend is still going to be able to trace its roots back to New York.   New York is where it all starts.

We are all part of fashion (observers and insiders, creators and consumers) and we all look to New York.  New York never disappoints.
