This past October was the 2nd annual Teen Vogue Fashion University hosted in New York City. Fashion U was October 26-28 this year. I went last year and had the most amazing time of my life. I had the chance to attend this past year as well. Fashion U is a weekend event in New York City starting Friday night and ending early afternoon on Sunday. On Friday night this year they had a fashion show sponsored by Target’s Go International program featuring Erin Fetherston. Following the fashion show the band Locksley performed a great show.
The evening ends early because the next morning you have to stand in line at 8 a.m. at the Hudson Theater in Times Square in a very long line in the pouring rain. The last two years it was pouring rain but believe me it’s totally worth it. Once you finally get inside you check-in and they give you this amazing goody bag that I bet even some celebrities would be envious over. The goody bag has been a Dooney and Bourke bag filled to the top with all kinds of goodies. After you register then you wait until classes start at 10 a.m. this year I was privileged to see Erin Fetherston, Rogan Gregory CFDA 2007 winner and Scott Hahn
Tommy Hilfiger
Vera Wang
and Tim Gunn.
They have many people to choose from but these are the ones I had selected and saw. Each person usually talks about their job and how they got there and what’s currently going on with their job and they usually offer great advice as well. After a long day but extremely fun day you had the option of shopping at Levi’s with a discount or attending the premiere of Seamless sponsored by Tiffany & Co. They had a mock tails and snacks as we took our picture on the red carpet and with some of the staff. Then we got to see the documentary Seamless. On Sunday they give you a gift card to Bloomingdales which is only good for that day and everyone goes shopping to end the great weekend.
