I hope you all followed along with me on\u00a0Instagram<\/a>\u00a0as I (very briefly) went to New York Fashion Week. I had an amazing time and continue to be so grateful for the opportunity to go and support my favorite designers!<\/p>\n

Here I am (above) with Michal Hidas \u2014 I\u2019m a HUGE fan of her designs and have\u00a0written about her before<\/a>\u00a0on my blog. She had her first pop up in NYC this summer and I was lucky enough to partner with her and get her clothing into two of my all-time favorite boutiques \u2014 3NY in NYC and FELT in Chicago!
\nAttending her very first NYFW MAARKAH\u00a0showcase was the shining moment of my trip!\u00a0I was so proud watching her spring 2018 presentation! The all white space created the perfect backdrop for her colorful designs.<\/p>\n

MICHAL HIDAS FASHION WEEK MAARKAH DEBUT<\/h2>\n

Her collection, \u201cBridging 2018\u201d, may look like luxurious streetwear, and it is, but its meaning is so much deeper than that. Michal collaborated with a Palestinian architect and a calligrapher from Jerusalem to create the vibrant patterns and eye-catching silhouettes with the intention of shining a light on Syrian refugees through fashion with hopes of sparking a global conversation.
\nThere are four parts to the collection \u2014 each representing how Syrian refugees view their experiences \u2014 \u00a0life before the war, the outbreak of war, the journey of being a refugee and last \u2014the future. Michal has spent time in Greece volunteering at refugee camps and also in Israeli hospitals. Part of the profits of this collection will go to NGOs assisting Syrian refugees.
\nThis show was about so much more than beautiful clothing and being their to witness it and feel its significance is something I will never forget.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
