Style Talks from Backstage, Front Row and Around Town → Day 4 at NYFW│AW17

February 10, 2017 · by Gina D. · in World of Fashion

A look into backstage with Aveda and how they prepped for the Hellessy show. Two stunning collections put together by AMCONYC: Rack Addik from season 14 “Project Runway” and Ivory Couture with a special performance by Chris Porter. And some Valentine treats around Manhattan with The Mark Hotel.

But first — NYFW style ↓

These looks were worth that awkward moment of ummm…Hi! Can I take a picture of you?

These stylish gems made an appearance at AMCONYC’s show. There’s artist Chris Porter, influencer Mandy Gragg, and hair guru Addam — yes that’s with two dd’s ♥ catch him on Instagram @addamartist.

I love attending NYFW shows — but lately there is so much more fun that happens off the runway. Backstage is one of my favorite places to be. I get to experience the excitement from a raw angle and share it with you!

… here’s a look at day 4 for me ↓

I arrived shortly after the models did, and it was great to see natural faces lining up for hair and make-up. Not going to lie — the strong wind really frizzed up my hair during my short commute — and Aveda was to the rescue! Immediately put me in a chair and Allen worked his magic.

Hellessy is a day-to-evening designer collection focused on the modern philosophy of dressing women whose lives are organized around a need for pared-down elegance that is versatile and thoughtfully constructed.

For the runway → I loved seeing so much diversity among the models. Before they hit the stage, the collection hangs backstage with detailed instructions.
