Yesterday, I realized it was completely impossible for me to stay away from the New York fashion week scene. I’ve always loved fashion, it wasn’t one of those things I started to like in my teens or more mature stages, I’ve loved it and dreamed about it ever since I was a child. For me, it’s been quite the opposite fashion story: fashion was all I knew and loved as a child, and it was weird because I didn’t live in a world that lived and breathe fashion, so I wasn’t following a trend or guide it was just something I was certain of as a child something that I lived and breathe literally because I never really understood where it came from.<\/p>\n

As I grew up, however, I started to push it to the back burner. Fashion became something I was more and more uncertain about. And you know what, it\u2019s not a topic I\u2019m ready to discuss or tackle on here yet, but I will tell \u00a0you this : No matter how much I try, Fashion is just something I can never seem to stay away from.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
I stumbled upon the fashion week scene by accident. I was studying in Paris at the time, and I found myself near Jardin des Tuileries after a day of unforgivable shopping. It is funny to me now when I think about it because the most popular question I get while I\u2019m shooting during Fashion Week is \u201c Excuse me, do you know what is happening here?\u201d or \u201cWho are they all waiting for?\u201d I\u2019d say there\u2019s a fashion show going on, they’d get super excited and start taking pics on their iPhones. That was me! Four years ago: the confused tourist happening upon an enormous crowd on the last of day of Fashion Week, except I also happened to be carrying my DSLR\u00a0camera with me, and after a few minutes of orientation started shooting like I belonged. I am pretty certain it’s one of the ways street style photographers grow in number. I \u00a0later shared my photo of Daphne Groeveneld on social media, and my tumblr feed lost it! The next year I was back, and after that, and I have just never been able to say no. In fact, this is a pretty accurate monologue of what happens every season:<\/div>\n

End of Fashion Week: This is my last! I think I’m done.<\/h2>\n

A Month Before New Fashion Week Season: Yea, I’m not going to go.<\/h2>\n

Three Days Before Fashion Week: I’m just going for a day as a visitor… observe the scene. New York is only 3 hours away. It won’t hurt. It’s like right there…<\/h2>\n

The Day Before: I will make it a two days and a night trip. I mean what’s the point of driving 3 hours for one day??<\/h2>\n

The Day I Arrive(Day): Yay!! I miss this!!<\/h2>\n

The Day I Arrive (Evening): Done with this!! I’ve not eaten all day! I’m Tired!<\/a> I’m sore! I’m cold!<\/a> My feet!! My feet?! are they still there?<\/h2>\n

The Next day: Ahhhhhhh I love this!\u00a0I want to do it forever! Wish I didn’t buy a ticket to leave tomorrow.<\/h2>\n

*Leaves* <\/em><\/h2>\n

*Dying to go back* <\/em><\/h2>\n

*staring at instagram photos*<\/em><\/h2>\n

*Comes back two days after* *Makes an imaginary I heart Fashion Week shirt in my head*<\/em><\/h2>\n

Last Day: \u00a0Aww so sad! I don’t want this to end<\/h2>\n

Last Day: I’m going to miss this! Until next time…<\/h2>\n

Last Day: I’m done though…<\/h2>\n
