PERSONAL : Fashion Week …what’s it like?

“wasn’t able to fully blog”

Fashion Week …something I only knew from tv, fashion magazines and internet. But now after really experiencing Fashion Week I have to say that it really was nice. Now I understand why people look forward to visiting these events. I know Fashion Week was a while ago, but I decided to share my experience with you guys anyway.

I was approached by HOOPDOOP Magazine to collaborate with them starting with Fashion Week Amsterdam. I got free access to all the shows, met a lot of interesting people and fellow bloggers.

Time was my enemy! That’s what really went through my mind. I was there on a schedule, planned every show I wanted to visit while keeping my followers up to date through social media and the blog. I wasn’t prepared that well …had to blog from my iPhone because my MacBook refused to work with me, forgot to fully charge my iPhone which was dead after just a few hours. In short, I wasn’t able to fully blog and post-process my photos during Fashion Week ….which really sucked. But I decided to accept it and just enjoy the event.

To me it was a great experience: meeting bloggers and designers, shooting people, having fun in photographers pit and chill at the Lounge Area. And yes,I will be well prepared for next Fashion Week!
