I’ve been back from New York for over 2 weeks now and I have to say, I am more in love with the city than ever. The energy it exudes is so contagious and I can’t even explain how inspired it left me feeling. Fashion Week is however, pretty hectic to say the least and quite an interesting time to be in New York. You’re running from show to show most of the time, quickly trying to grab an Uber in between, frantically bypassing the millions of people hustling through their day. Nevertheless, this is exactly the type of energy in which I thrive, where the streets come alive and the city seems to never sleep.

The show displayed an abundance of black, ivory and red silk (inspired by the designer’s Indian heritage), as well a few incredible sheer garments. My favorite piece from the show was definitely the red dress featured above, which had the most beautiful (and rather daring) plunging neckline.

On day 4 however, things didn’t quite go as planned. A few hours before heading to the first show, I realized I had lost my smaller point-and-shoot camera (a Canon G7x I recently bought to create videos) in a cab earlier that day; hence why I do not have more images from the shows I attended. You can imagine how devastating this was seeing as it contained pr
