Fashion's Night Out

Last night I had the opportunity to participate in Fashions Night Out in New York City. In every famous fashion district in new york (meatpacking, soho, upper east side on lexington and madison) stores were holding special events to draw customers into their stores. Not only were there special events but instead of the stores closing early, they stayed open until 11pm. The most exciting part of my night was when I went to the Helmut Lang store down in the meatpacking district. Helmut Lang is my favorite designer and is probably the designer who is inspiring me the most during my project. I was so excited to be in the store alone but when I accidentally met the 2 head designers of the company that really blew my mind. Helmut Lang himself had sold the company 4 years ago to a couple name Michael and Nicole. I spoke to both of them for a good while about the company as well as how they got started. One of them, Michael, had studied at the Fashion Institute of Technology and told me how he had wished he had gone to Parsons (The New School) instead. In the end Michael asked me if I would like to intern for him sometime this year and I agreed to it. It ended up being a successful night last night
