So, New York Fashion Week for Spring Season 2019 just finished two weeks ago, London Fashion Week ended last week, Milan Fashion week is nearing an end as Paris Fashion week will conclude the Spring Season Collections of 2018.
NYFW was extremely eventful: there was news of the debuts of several new Creative Directors of brands, Cardi B and Nicki Minaj's brawl, Madonna's daughter's modeling debut, the upcoming and new purse street style trend, late-night fashion parties, unconventional runways and ways of showing collections as well as castings that broke the stereotypical mold of a regular fashion show.
The most impressive, though, were the Asian fashionistas both in and at the shows working it, doing their own thing and coming together to show it off.
So hold onto your seat belt, beautiful pictures of beautiful people coming your way!

Eva Chen chronicled her day to day schedule to fit in detailed Insta-stories of the runway shows as well as her wide range of fashion friends, and even the difficulties of being a mom during fashion week.
The stories and posts included many (probably unimaginably) important people from the fashion world and of course, her two cute kids and her husband. She worked her outfits gracefully, despite the rain and other weather-related difficulties.
Aimee Song was amazing with her signature for the week, boots, and looking amazing as usual. Who knew someone could pull off so many looks with boots! And her stories about her meals in between shows looked heavenly.
And of course, I religiously followed whatever Margaret Zhang posted because those are always QUA-LITY content. I also caught her behind the Vogue Snapchat story for the Prada cocktail party and all I can say is, "wow" (emphasis on the lowercase). Her outfits were, as usual, layers and layers of beauty.
NYFW also included more diversity than ever (not that the job is yet done) and Asian models were strutting their stuff on and off the runway (amazingly).
On the runway, NYFW brought on a new perspective. Claudia Li's show featured an all-Asian cast of models to showcase the uniqueness and the beauty of Asian women.
Claudia Li says that the media often portrays Asian women as looking the same, but through fashion she wanted to change the narrative and show that Asian women are in fact not the same and there is a diversity within the community. I was pleasantly surprised and I really appreciate Li's initiative to showcase this through the art of fashion.
This was the first year that I've actually followed NYFW. I've only recently started following Asian fashion bloggers and a whole new world has opened up to me. I got to follow this wonderful week of art, fashion and glamour through Asian bloggers and influencers with social media. It's amazing what Instagram has allowed me to do and how I can connect with people that I admire.
And although it was my first time, I feel like NYFW 2018 was a dynamic week for the international Asian community. I hope the Asian Fashion community continues to work it through the end of the season and beyond!
