NEW YORK IN FASHION WEEK!!

It's Fashion Week time!!! I spent four incredible days in New York and I almost forgot how much I missed New York. The energy, the feeling of non stop is what I like the most specially in this season.
September, the crazy month of Fashion Week, beautiful super tall and skinny girls all over Manhattan, a  flashback of those times when I was running from one place to another, huge lines and waiting hours for the casting was really exhausting but fun at the same time. Next to all the Russian Polish and German girls that were at least 1.80 cm , I must admit was really intimidating that's why I prefer going more for print and commercials.


This four days were more chill and I could watch for the first time,  from the outside this crazy world of modeling. Some people say it's easy? No way!! it requires a lot of sacrifices. Waking up really early go to the castings from one place to another. One place they tell you how beautiful and gorgeous you are, the next casting they don't even look at you. Is this game of up and downs were you have to stay firm, knowing who you are, and where are you from and not letting anyone to turn you down. Stay positive every time.
Anyway I love this business and that's why I choose modeling for leaving, but you need that, as in every profession, you need to love it to do it  cause every thought and feeling is reflected in the picture. If you are in a bad day and a  bad mood or you are really sad fore some reason that will show in the eyes. Photoshop? Yeah nowadays you can fix everything with photoshop but not the shine in your eyes.
Here are some photos of some runways that I've done in NY.







 For this Spring 2012  NY Fashion Week most of the designers used gold and grey colors in their designs. My favorite collections were Diane Von Furstenberg, Badgley Mischka, Victoria Beckham and Carolina Herrera.

Here are some photos and videos of my favorite designer collections :








Diane Von Furstenberg so innovative, it called everyone attention with the Google glasses that can record and take pictures as a  regular smart phone.




Victoria Beckham really surprised me with her collection, very classy with a modern touch in her designs. Thumbs up!!



Badgley Mischka called my attention with the unique designs of the dresses and the combination of colors she used, alot of gold and pastel.

The best for last, this last video is from the legendary Carolina Herrera there is not a way not to love her designs and style, the texture and fabric flowing of all those magic dresses. Made me want to wear a  dress tonight.





Enough talking about the designers! I want to talk about the models the ones that really rock the runway in every show. My favourite ever is Karlie Kloss I love her catwalk and her attitude on the runway. She was named the best model by People magazine in 2008. With just 20 years old she has been in advertisements for Jean Paul Gaultier, Donna Karan, Nina Ricci, Chloe, Lacoste, Oscar de La Renta, she is the face of the Marc Jacob's perfume Lola and many more.





The second new top model that I really like and every designer fight to haver her in their show is Daphne Groeneveld is a  Dutch model best known for appearing in 2010 December\ January cover of Vogue Paris alongside Tom Ford. With just 17 years old she appeared in big campaigns such as Louis Vuitton Miu Miu eyewear, Calvin Klein, Dior, H&M
