Everything You Need To Know About New York Fashion Week

You'll be asking yourself WTF after the drama and deets about this year's New York Fashion Week.

So as all of the fashion industry and celebrities know, New York Fashion Week is one of the biggest weeks in fashion filled with stunning looks and trend-setting events. This year has been no different, except for the fact that it's also been one of the most drama-filled weeks of the year.

For starters, if you haven't heard, Nicki Minaj and Cardi B are in a female rapper feud. Arguably two of the most notorious female rappers of the time, these two seemed to already be pitted against each other from the beginning. Both ladies from low places who rose to the top because of their fiery personalities and striking rap lyrics, they seemed to be one-in-the-same, and similarities attract right? Not quite.

From the early star, fans of both rappers seemed to be warring and choosing sides about which artist was better. At first, that didn't seem to affect the two performers, however, new songs released by both women which may (or may not) have been "diss tracks" seem to be redefining the relationship.

After much tension, things reached a climax during NYFW at a Harper's Bazaar Icons party. The stories of exactly what happened are a little skewed, but essentially, words were said, and shoes were thrown. Yes, shoes were thrown.

Reports were made that Nicki Minaj had made comments about Cardi B's newborn, Kulture, Cardi's parenting skills. And that's when Cardi B attacked: she came up to Minaj where bodyguards quickly came to her protection, but that didn't stop Cardi B – she threw in Minaj's direction, missing, but definitely sending a message that a full-on war had begun.

As if this wasn't enough drama, later in the week, Kanye West got a reporter kicked out of the Ralph Lauren show for asking about an apparent standing social media beef with his wife and mother of three, Kim Kardashian-West and model, Tyson Beckford. This issue ultimately stemmed from a body-shaming comment made from Beckford about Kim Kardashian, which somehow turned into Kardashian making a homophobic reply. Read more with the link above.

Although it's quite fun watching all sorts of drama unfold, I digress. This week is about fashion, not some silly, petty high school drama.

As for highlights of NYFW week so far, there are a ton of amazing firsts and traditions.

As per traditions go, Ralph Lauren and Longchamp celebrated their 50th and 70th anniversaries respectively, with special collections that were absolutely stunning.

Longchamp and its creative director, Sophie Delafontaine, celebrated the big 7-0 with 70's-inspired fringe, shin-high sandals, and earth-tone clothing. Special guests Kate Moss and Kendall Jenner also made appearances with model Kaia Gerber walking the runway.

Ralph Lauren also knows how to celebrate in style with the "go big or go home" motto in mind. Lauren rented out Central Park's Bethesda Terrace to showcase his timeless Americana-themed collection. However, to make this collection even more special, Lauren pieced together all of his best collections: women's, men's Double RL, men's, and even women's and children's Polo Ralph Lauren. Famous faces like Kaia Gerber and Gigi Hadid walked the runway among a diverse group ranging from young to old, and white to black.

Once again, my favorite show of the week I think has to be The Blond's collection. As per last year, they didn't disappoint with a bad-ass, glitzy debut, taking fashion shows and turning them into fashion performances.

This year, they channeled their villainous side and teamed up with Disney to create a positive take on our favorite antagonists. David Blond made a statement explaining his choice of characters, "the villains are meant to be secondary characters, but they have always stood out to us because they have the best style, the most personality."

The vicious villain looks consisted of Ursula and her two evildoer eels from "The Little Mermaid," Flotsam and Jetsam, "Snow White's" Evil Queen, "101 Dalmatians," Cruella De Vil, including a Paris Hilton version on the villain, and the Red Queen in "Alice in Wonderland." The collection even included more underrated villains like "The Princess and the Frog's" Shadow Man and "Sleeping Beauty's" Maleficent, with Desmond is Amazing (a 10-year-old "drag kid") version of this look as well.

I can't wait for London Fashion Week after all that has unfolded. To get the full London Fashion Week schedule, visit Fashion Week Online. This site gives you showtimes, insights, and lists the shows you can live stream!

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.

1. It's easy to be fooled by shiny things.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.
