2018 is the year of progression. Fashion week is a time for every person who loves and hate fashion to come together and curate opinions and look at designs. This year NYFW was completely different for me. I wasn't just sneaking into shows or standing in long lines with my phone out trying to rush a door. I was actually working backstage this year. Many people know my passion for photography but a hidden passion that I have is styling. I have been doing it for years on the low and I have finally begun to start pursuing it in New York. I had the honor to work beside an amazing stylist Rachael Wang (@rachaelwangstudios). I worked several shows with her including Death To Tennis, PH5, and Nanushka. Being a stylist assistant is not a job for the faint of heart. Depending on the organization of the brand and the production team will definitaley determine wheter it will be a smooth easy going backstage experience or if you will be running around dretched in sweat and begging for water. My first show was quite stressful because I was resonsible for dressing 4 models at one time but I got it done with no mistakes. The 2nd show was so organized and put together and stress-free. The designers are sweethearts and the whole brand is amazing. The last show was kinda not worth talking about, lol, so I'll just pass on that. This was such a great experience and it will go down in the books as the best Fashion Week thus far.
