My fashion week this time was an entirely different experience for me in comparison to my past ones. I mentioned it briefly in my most recent article which you can read over at The Cut. I'm not sure how to even explain how it felt seeing pieces of my Addition Elle line walk down a NYFW runway. I felt proud, excited, slightly nervous, grateful. Before the show, my best friend Shevah was carrying my phone and she's like your mom texted you. I'm like if it's something nice, then don't tell me because I can't cry right now, I have interviews to do and people to be in front of. I couldn't help myself and ended up reading it and all it said was "Shine bright, I know you will." Boom...immediately started tearing up in the bathroom minutes before the show. I look back and reflect a lot. It helps put things in perspective for me.
You guys can shop my collection below at Addition Elle, Lord & Taylor, and Nordstrom.
