The Freshest Nightlife Looks From NYFW Day 1

Click, click, click, flash

by Hayden Manders

You wanna know what's going to be big on the runways (and fast fashion houses) in two years? Check out what's happening below 14th street in Manhattan after 11:30pm, and then head across the East River toward the warehouses of Brooklyn's Bushwick for even more. There, you'll feel and experience the true heart of New York City: the forward-thinking, liberated creative class that puts the life in the Big Apple's nightlife. NYC's club scene has always been at the forefront of style. There, where artists mix with execs and the gender binary is a thing that hasn't been thought of in years, is where true, adventurous style is found. It should come as no surprise, then, that once the sun set on the first day of New York Fashion week, the boundary pushers (and smashers) took to the streets with style that's bold, colorful, sometimes metallic, and always, always camera-ready. Smile, Nicki Digital could be just around the corner.
