A cup of Assam Tea

  Living in a peaceful suburb in Connecticut, I always get psyched up visiting boisterously beautiful NYC - especially during Fashion Week when the swanky city gets even swankier. I have attended NYFW in Global Fashion Collective for the last few seasons. Yet, I am fascinated every time I attend and witness talented designers from around the globe,  and most importantly, each designer brings a bit of their country, culture, and art to NYFW. I am always in awe and amazed by Global Fashion Collective's knack for finding such one-of-a-kind designers. NAOKO TOSA  Sound of Ikebana This season unfolds with Nakaotosa,  Sound of Ikebana, the unexpected yet exciting opening where an art piece comes on the digital screen, and the model comes wearing the same design as if art comes into life. The brain behind the brand is a Professor of  Kyoto University, a new media artist, and The NY Museum of Modern Art Collection artist; her runway show at NYFW showcased a ready-to...

I have attended the NYFW Global Fashion Collective for the last couple of seasons. It's always wonderful to experience shows by many talented designers across the globe and cross-culture. Global Fashion Collective has always left us impressed by bringing such a forefront of the NYFW which they are known for.  -This time, I attended two shows; the 1st was by Hyper Culture Collection.   This runway show was unveiled with casual, innovative, quirky, ready-to-wear pieces. Designer Satoshi Shinada's creativity behind this brand's denim, jersey, and sweatshirt with graffiti and interesting phrases dominated this collection. A couple walking as a bridegroom patronizing jeans attire in the runways indeed added innovation and an out-of-the-box idea. The whole collection is vibrant and youthful with a dose of rebelliousness. The 2nd show was by Justin Jacob Louis. His debut in NYFW was unfolded with indigenous dancing, surely heartwarming, aspirational, and energetic. There are good...

Hi There, For the first time, I missed my 1st Show this season in NYFW as the weather has been really bad on the East Coast. T orrential  downpours and power cuts had happened, which was enough reason to create gridlocks. I usually stay in New York during NYFW , but this season I had 3 shows on the same day and I decided not to stay in the city but to return the same day to cope with my kid's busy schedules. Our home to NYC is a 2-hour drive and today it took 4 hours, so I couldn't attend my 1st show as most shows run on time.  However, I wanted to share what I wore for the show. How I decide what to wear for the show. Creating an ideal look to attend such a show takes a lot of thought and ideas. Looking good is just one criteria, but the look should be such that it not only creates an impact but at the same time it should align with your personal style. A statement look is always good for Big 4, and uncomfortableness is the last thing we opt for. In addition, we have to kee...
