The Mind Creative OCT 2013
If you have been to New York, you
will agree with me when I say that
it’s a magical city. For those of you
that haven’t been, I have only one
piece of advice: take time off,
book a flight and explore.
In my time there, over the last
month, my creative side was out in
full force. From taking artsy photos
on the Brooklyn Bridge, to visiting
the Etsy arts and crafts lab, to
dressing up for a 1920s Indian
Prohibition themed soiree, I was in
my zone. There was one event,
however, that was an absolute
standout: New York Fashion Week.
It was a week full of the world’s
best dressed people arriving at
Lincoln Centre on the Upper West
Side to attend fashion shows.
Doesn’t take your fancy? Well it
should. Fashion Week is immersed
in history. It started in 1914 and
has been around longer than many
historical monuments and buildings
including the Harbour Bridge and
the Empire State Building. Actual
fashion shows, go even further
back, with shows first documented
in the early 1800s in Paris couture
salons.
