Want to attend a fashion show during New York Fashion Week but can’t get past the velvet rope? New York City Fashion Week 2017 may seem like one of the most high-brow, exclusive affairs the city has to offer. International designers, emerging fashionistas, and stunning models take the stage to show off the world’s best clothing collections. Let’s be honest, the most fashionable celebrity out there probably wouldn’t wear at least half the clothing flaunted on stage, but nevertheless, it’s all about the culture. It’s about displaying the wide variety of creative minds and emerging styles and trends.
Whether you’re a die-hard fashion lover, or someone looking to upgrade their wardrobe this coming fall, then Fashion Week 2017 is as good as it gets. Although every show and party seems to be invite only, places all over NYC are hosting all-inclusive Fashion Week events that are free to the public.
