Essence Magazine Kicks Off NYFW with the Street Style Block Party!

Fashion Week is here in New York City!

I am always super excited for fashion week because it’s when all the big girls come to play in the Fashion Olympics–except everyone is a winner because individual style is usually an awesome expression of oneself.

When I think about fashion week in NYC I think Samantha Jones (Sex and the City) getting tickets for her friends for all the shows. Not only are the fashion designers putting their best style on display for the world, but the everyday citizens are putting on a show of their own.

Yesterday, Essence Magazine kicked off the start to New York Fashion Week by throwing a Street style Block Party. The party was open to the public and boy did they come out in style!

There were lots of great vendors present, my favorite ones were selling the best colors, patterns and fabrics.

Jazmine Sullivan also performed to a very large crowd and she did not disappoint! That girl can sang!

Shea Moisture was also on hand giving free face painting for the kids, makeovers and massages. The lines for these services were around the corner!

My favorite part of the block party were the special models standing on top of the cars, looking absolutely perfect with the designers doing interviews just a few feet away.

The first annual Essence Magazine Street Style Block Party was fantastic. Very well put together and the perfect kickoff for what is going to be an extremely fun fashion week in NYC! Stay tuned for more #nyfw coverage on the blog 🙂

Which of the styles were your favorite? Do you love fashion week?
