A teenagers perspective of New York Fashion Week: Zang Toi, The Runway and Just Being There

On Tuesday night I had the honor of going to Lincoln Center to see designer Zang Toi's runway show for New York Fashion Week.
Zang Toi is a designer from Malaysia who's designs are classic and elegant.


It was such a cool and unforgettable experience and of course I took A LOT of pictures  (like a whole photo album full)

They build this whole building just for the week and then take it down again ( I wonder where they store all the pieces)

I wore a leather vest from Joe Fresh, a white ruffle-collared shirt from Ella Moss (a favorite of mine), and my new favorite jeans (maroon high waisted jeans from Pacsun) and suede wedges from Steve Madden.

This is as close to the runway as I will ever get (a.k.a on the runway) 

The room all filled up! 

All the photographers who are taking photos for anything jam into this side of the room. It looks just a bit squished!
The room was filled with benches and at your part of the bench sat a goody bag with a playbill-ish list  of the names of everything that the models wore from Zang Toi's collection and other things.
Here is what mine looked like:

The show was supposed to start at 7 but ended up starting at 7:30.
Here are some pictures from the show. I recommend watching a video of the excellent beginning of the show. You can watch some on Youtube.
Here are some pictures of the actual show. The collection was called Ballet Babe.

I did not take this picture. It is from global grind.com^^

The designer, Zang Toi, even got a chance to strut on the runway!

One of the best parts of the show was all the FREE stuff!

I received nail polish and cool socks from the show. I also got a lot of drinks from around the main area as well as a collection of magazines. Most everything there was free for you to take so of course, I took it. 

Here is my stash.  

This board is literally the mecca of all NYFW Instagrams.

One of the coolest parts of NYFW is not just the styles on the runway but the styles of people who are watching the show. I saw everything from sweatpants to ball gowns to halloween themed costumes there.

 Can you guess what this lady is wearing on her head?
It's an old fashioned floral swim cap with a chic twist!

This was truly an experience that I will not forget and I am super excited to go to more of it next year.
