Backstage at Stacy Igel's Boy Meets Girl Fashion Show at NYFashionWeek

Its that time of year again-the one and only exciting September New York Fashion Week! It was a GREAT pleasure to be able to write a blog post for Stacy Igel's Boy Meets Girl Fashion Show that took place at The Metropolitan Pavilion! Stacy's idea behind the show was "Forever Young" and focusing on the mesmerizing love between Joan Baez and Bob Dylan. Their romantic story showcases a young couple growing, learning, and getting inspired from each other's creativity. Being free-spirited, bohemian, and carefree are the motivations behind the collection. Stacy says that the Boy Meets Girl brand is for an "uptown to downtown girl"-a girl who's doing things for herself while having fun! This brand statement is the reason I feel lovingly connected to the clothes. The soft fabric, and laid back looks express being comfortable in your own skin. Igel also touched upon the importance that music has on her designs, because she's constantly playing music while designing, cutting and sewing. This love of beats, made her pursue Wyclef Jean with Cris Cab and Jarina De Marco to perform at, and during her runway show. Not only was the music and fashion on point, but the atmosphere was the definition of a good time. At the Pavilion, there was a Dance Dance Revolution section to enjoy laughs with your friends while sharing the silliest moves, a snack section to recharge after a long day, and even a makeup/styling section to amp up all of the fashionista's looks. Where ever I looked people were exchanging smiles, and were celebrating "music, fashion, and life" together!

Check Out Me Google Chatting with Tyra Banks for the Huffington Post!

CHECK OUT ME GOOGLE CHATTING WITH TYRA BANKS FOR THE HUFFINGTON POST HERE !!!

Tyra Banks at the construction site for the Lower Eastside Girls Club.
Tyra Banks is working with the Girl's Club to open her TZONE section in the G.C. new building, in which she will be working with girls such as myself to help with self-esteem and girl empowerment! I'm REALLY excited about this project, and the fact that I get to learn from a woman that I have admired all these years growing up. I've been an audience for her America's Next Top Model and Tyra Show from my living room for so long, and now I will get advice from the talented woman behind the TV screen! It is such an honor to work with her!

The Walkathon is organized to help raise money for the Girls Club!

This is where the new building will be open on the Spring ;D
