amanda: from hurricane to fashion week

I am back in New York. Yes, it was perfect timing because my flight arrived at 7am and the airport shut down at noon in preparation for Hurricane Irene!

After a night of heavy rainfall and strong winds of 80miles/hr (sorry about the US units), I survived my first hurricane.

Now all the buzz about the hurricane is dying down because Fashion Week is starting in a week! I know, I know, New Yorkers sometimes care more about what they're wearing to face the hurricane than the damage it may cause.

I will be posting more about the runway shows as they become available. As Laura and I become busier with our own schedules, I would love to share more about what fashion is like from the point of view of a fashion design student in NYC.

Let us know what you think!!

Were you affected by this hurricane at all?

What do you want to see at fashion week?
