Twice a year, New York City is home to one of the greatest fashion shows of our time. Designers from all over the world come together to exhibit their creativity and mold the industry with each article of clothing they debut. People often associate fashion shows with radical demonstrations of unrealistic, unwearable, and, in some cases, ugly outfits. What people often do not realize, however, is that nearly all the trends identifiable and followed by day to day people were often orchestrated long before they become "in," by artistic geniuses such as the designers below. It is difficult to wrap one's head around a shirt that looks like it was inspired by the scribbles of a toddler, but fashion isn't always made for understanding - it's an expression of inspiration, experiences, and aesthetic perspective.

The 2019 New York Fashion Week presented an array of captivating looks. Some told stories, some reflected cultures, and all debuted diverse experimentation and innovation. As the saying goes, beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but I think it's safe to say that the following images are worthy of the title, regardless of who's watching.


1. Tommy Hilfiger

Sleek, sophisticated, and all the while flattering, Tommy Hilfiger's business look emanates class between the black and white tones and patent suit, while the look below is a perfect medium between dazzling and sleek. The accessories attribute just enough flare to avoid compromising poise.

3. Zimmermann

Infamous for their dresses, Zimmermann exhibited a warm toned cross of bohemian and elegance with this spring look from their new collection. The brand never fails to produce jaw-dropping pieces, no matter the genre of style they dabble in.

4. Sies Marjan

In the two looks, Sies Marjan uses texture and shape, such as the teal top's cowl neckline, to individualize the monochromatic outfits, causing one to notice the beauty in the pieces before realizing their simplicity.

6. Longchamp

Longchamp's red armor communicates a beautifully elite, equestrian demeanor, relaying both the simplicity and class of the brand's iconic appearance.

7. Helmut Lang

Playing with neutrals is a classic Helmut Lang move. The turtleneck is sleek and contrasts the loose slacks, while the mesh maintains the outfit's delicacy.

8. Brandon Maxwell

PC

The 70s clothing pieces, accessorized with gaudy jewelry, composed a playful and cute look by Brandon Maxwell.

9. Alexander Wang

PC

Cheetah print has been revived and trending for over a year now, but Alexander Wang didn't care. The white sneakers with the 80s style outfit under the coat produced a timeless, classic look.

10. Jeremy Scott

Dazzle and shine, Jeremy Scott stunned on lookers with this eye-catching ensemble. The fringe is similar to that of the flappers of the 1920s, yet the look is still futuristic.

11. Ralph Lauren

These next three Ralph Lauren looks are easily three of the most beautiful dresses combining elegance, poise, and monochrome, with variance in texture and shape.

14. Khaite

Inspired by a visit to her grandmother's house, the designer produced a delicate and beautiful combination of chic black and neutral bohemian patterns.

15. Oscar de la Renta

PC

Approaching dresses with a simplistic yet unorthodox aesthetic, Oscar de la Renta played with shapes in these two pieces. The contrast between the tight and revealing upper half of the first dress and the large bow connecting the loose lower half adds flare to the monochromatic dress. Likewise, the dress below contains floral shapes as if to create a silhouette of flowers all over the model, as the body of the dress is the same color as her skin tone.

17. Ulla Johnson

PC

"This show is a celebration of all that connects us," is how Ulla Johnson explained her inspiration for New York Fashion Week. These two looks encapsulate Johnson's intentions. The artistry in every piece celebrates diverse handicraft, ranging from the Japanese shibori techniques used on the blue accessories, to the Dutch wax prints and sea shells sewed on the dress below.

19. Alice + Olivia

This cluster of pastels could not be more perfect for spring. The look both compares and contrasts to Alice + Olivia's diverse collection ranging from gothic jewel tone gowns to light bohemian sundresses.

20. Prabal Gurung

As opposed to celebrating his brand's 10th anniversary, Prabal Gurung used his opportunity in the spotlight to get political. At a time where immigrants of color are being unjustly targeted and their value in America is being questioned, Gurung indicates the current injustices that are stripping people of their American Dream.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into.

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
