New York Fashion Week Party Ideas

New York Fashion Week is around the corner again. Sometimes it feels like it is always around the corner for those anticipating what wonders their esteemed designers will once again pull out of their hats!

New York Fashion Week is the only of the four major fashion weeks that is held in the United States, hence the exposure and excitement that surrounds it. Gone are the days when fashion weeks were exclusively for the elite. Today, fashionistas across the globe are hooked and booked to their favorite fashion website trying to catch the event live and making mental notes of upcoming trends. But the party doesn’t end there. With Fashion Night Out introduced in 2009, a lot more people get the chance to participate before the fashion week hits off.

It’s not just the clothes, the fervor and the excitement surrounding the event, it’s the parties! Following are some ways you can kick off fashion week with a party of your own!

Participate in the Big Event

This doesn’t mean you need to cash in your savings or go steal the tickets for the show, you just need a big screen and internet access. Many designers now showcase their fashion show live on their own website or on social networks. So all you need to do is pick out a fashion designer that is popular among your social circle and hold a garden or rooftop party. All you need is fashionable decor, good food, colorful cocktails, cupcakes and of course assortment of delectable macaroons and let the fashionistas go wild!

What is a fashion week party without letting the fashion creativity flow? So make sure that you have a theme for the party. A great idea would be to let your guests guess what the new season’s trends would be and dress accordingly, to wear a certain style or color, or to revamp their parents old clothing.

Nothing would scream fashion week like a good old fashioned fashion show. Add the red carpet, a ramp and send sassy invitations to your social circle. You can also collect items from your friends and family, showcase them on the ramp and let the fashion swap begin! If you’re really connected, you could get a local fashion outfitter or shop to sponsor the event with some apparel – a joint promotional effort.
