On Tuesday, we played host to Net Mixer, one of the cities top business professional networking events. The crowd was a mix of fashion types, future wall street barons, and industry entreprenuers. We played nice with Fashion Indie lovers and met some fresh faces in fashion who were looking forward to meeting again. If you missed it, you missed a great event with some up and coming players in fashion.

New York Fashion Week Resolution: Change the Industry

Edited by Saynt

So New York Fashion Week is here and everyone and their stylish, possibly queer, spandex wearing nephew are getting excited about the models, the celebrities, and the swag bags. Honestly though, I’m over it.

Every year it’s the same circus. We all rush to Bryant Park. We all wait in line. We all find our seats. The lights dim and the models hit the runway and we all end up pretty bored sitting in the dark as last years hits come playing over the sound system. It’s a joke really that an industry that’s supposed to be so on the cusp on the newest trend has gotten stuck on one set model for how to present fashion.

It’s ridiculous really. Pencil thin models are boring, especially when they’re pale and dull. Most of the collections are tired, seriously, how many times can you recreate a basic black dress?!? And the after parties are usually pretty blah. Basically, it’s all the same, every season it’s the same thing, and frankly I’m tired of it.

So my New York Fashion Week Resolution is to change the game. To make fashion exciting again. To take it beyond the runways, to present it in a new way, to make people take notice and to give young designers the chance to break free from the silly restraints established by IMG and Vogue. We started seasons ago with fashion show concerts, now we’re hosting shows on the Brooklyn Bridge for millions of people to witness.

The world of fashion is changing so keep it here on fashionindie.com cause we’re sparking the change.

Next, year expect bigger events, more designers, and a fashion week that will trump all others as Fashion Indie Media presents another season of Fashion Indie Week!!!
