SKYLIGHT @ MOYNIHAN STATION

Hello loves!
Today is NYFW Day 6. Fashion Week here in New York is almost over! The festivities and events continue on for a month over select cities in other parts of the world, but the party kicks off here. This year, things were shaken up a bit. On last minute, Mercedes Benz slipped as the NYFW sponsor, and instead Lexus took its glorious place. Last year, and a few years before that, NYFW was located at Lincoln Center. This year, the main locations were Milk Studios in Chelsea, and the Skylight @ Moynihan Station.  Today I finally had a chance to drop by the Skylight Moynihan Station, and I felt like I was a big part of New Yorker history.

Today this distinguished, stone-stepped, magnificent structure stands strong, famously known as the James Farley Post Office. The building erected in 1914, and to this day houses as one of America's biggest, most active post offices. The building was designed by the same architects as the Penn Station right next to it. Senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan had visions of connecting trail and rail, and spoke of expanding Penn Station out to the post office building. Today Penn Station and the James Farley Post Office are separate entities, but in the near-future, Moynihan Station is the next visionary project the city that never sleeps has in mind to expand.

This week, Skylight @ Moynihan Station proudly stood as the location of the NYFW fashion shows. You know, in an interview one time, Anna Wintour had said, if you pay attention to a Vogue magazine, from cover to cover, you can understand the social, political, economical atmosphere of the time. The westside of New York is extensively developing lately.. There's a new station at 11th Avenue and 34th Street, called the Hudson Yards (and you know, I'll be doing a photoshoot there for you shortly!). I feel that this location decision NYFW made this year was strategic, and I wonder what else Anna has in stored for us next.

You know I'll keep you posted.

Sweet dreams and much love all,
Haerina
