Some unglamorous things
The week is about to end and there are reports that bare what really is behind the New York Fashion Week— the unglamorous side of the annual event that is.
Shows this year are not held in one location. The crowd has to rush from one venue to another in NYC leaving spectators tired, hungry, and very frustrated over traffic and the rush. Shows do not start as planned and mostly, the audience would have to wait for at least 20 to 30 minutes for a less than 15-minute fashion show
Reports say that crowding is the last thing that a spectator had to deal with during a show. It would be very difficult to see beyond the sea of mobile phones trying to capture the models. Audience at the back row had to make do with watching the models from the iPhones of people in front of them.
Lastly, food is terrible in most shows. The members of the audience were served with pressed juices and KIND bars.
Celebrity sightings
Among the crowd at the New York Fashion Week were Taylor Swift, Kris Jenner and the Kardashian clan, Brooklyn and David Beckham, Madonna, Zayn Malik and Gigi Hadid, Kim Kardashian and husband Kanye West.
