KPNY

The Korean Preview textile show was not necessary my favorite thing we’ve been to. I’m a Fashion Media minor so I don’t know much about fabric.  Of course it was interesting to look at, but I didn’t know what most of the fabrics would be used for. Before leaving I got to talk to you about the whole process of buy textiles and manufacturing and I actually thought that was the most intriguing part. It seems like such a stressful job to have to do that.

Honestly, my favorite part of the KPNY was the free danishes and coffee. It probably would have been more interesting if there had been more people who were there. Shadowing someone in the business to see what they look for and how they look for it would be interesting to see.

 

Capsule Mens NY

I really liked the Capsule Mens Show. It’s the first time I’ve ever been to a market trade show and I really don’t know much about them, or men’s fashion week in general. Before walking in to the trade show, I didn’t know where to go, so I followed the good-looking and well-dressed men and found it easily. It was quite obvious who were there for the show and who weren’t.

I enjoyed looking at all of the different brands and seeing different trends among them. They really were catering to all different styles. Something I found interesting was that much of the clothing looked like it could also be women’s clothing from the cuts and colors. I actually really like men’s clothing so I think it would be so much fun to actually go to the show to purchase.

These were the only two pictures I got. They aren’t very good, but they didn’t seem to want photos taken so it was difficult.

Isaac Mizrahi Exhibit

The Isaac Mizrahi exhibit at the Jewish Museum was honestly one of the best exhibits I’ve seen in New York. I’ve obvioulsy heard of him but seeing so many of his designs in front of me was astounding. Also, I had no clue that he did costumes, which were two of my favorite pieces. The train on the garment on the right was unbelievably long and gorgeous. The sweater on the left may not look like much but Carrie wore it on Sex and the City, so it automatically makes it awesome in my book.

The green multi-layer outfit, the colorblock dress and the geometric shape pantsuit were three of my favorite pieces from the entire exhibit. They’re all so different but beautiful.

Cooper Hewitt

I really liked going to Cooper Hewitt. All art is unique but those pieces were extremely unique and very cool.

Something that made this museum unique was the pen, which I thought was so neat. I lost the code I copied everything down on, but I’ve never had a museum experience so interactive.

My favorite exhibits included the dress immediately upon walking in. I loved the sporty top with the high-end ruffled skirt. Another exhibit I thought was very intriguing was the huge clock that continuously changed. It was hard to look at but the idea was so unique. The last piece I found beyond interesting was the smell wall. I can’t even imagine how hard that was to develop and long it took to collect all the different smells in Central Park.

Even more than the exhibit, I liked the original woodwork and chadeliers in the restored Andrew Carnegie. It was gorgeous and exquisite and I can’t even imagine living in such a place.
