New York Fashion Week, Parties and Events in SoHo.

2008-09-30T08:19:00.000-07:00

For the last week we have been nusy attending New York Fashion Week, which sadly came to a close on Friday. Celebrities, designers, photographers and more came together at the tents at Bryant Park and made me realize once again why I love this city! It truly is the fashion capitol of the world! Many of the after parties were held right here in SoHo, the neighborhood where nightlife meets fashion. Bloomingdales SoHo was host to the Style 360 party, hosted by Nigel Barker and Elle.com on Monday evening. On Tuesday, September 9th SoHo was filled with celebrities attending various after parties including: Y-3 SoHo store launch party, the Prada party, Vivienne Tam Party at 40 Mercer, and Heidi Klum hosted an event at Bloomingdales SoHo for Jordache. The following day the Subversive Jewelry Spring 2009 Collection was held at Kisan SoHo on Greene Street. Overall, fashion week previewed some excellent designs for Spring 2009 and we are excited that SoHo was host to many of the exclusive parties and events!

Nike Soho

2008-09-30T07:50:00.000-07:00

On Wednesday night Nike closed down Mercer Street in SoHo to throw quite a bash for their new store opening! This event was invitation only and featured a stage and special performances. Now we know SoHo is know for fashion, of course, including many high-end show stores selling the ever so dangerous stilettos (those cobblestone SoHo streets are quite a challenge!) However, recently we have seeen a great deal of new sneaker stores opening in the area. This Nike store will offer a new service, Bespoke, which will offer an appointment only service allowing customers to work directly with designers in creating their own customized kicks! The store will officially open on Thursday, at 21 Mercer Street.

Rock n Roll in Soho

2008-08-14T09:06:00.000-07:00

Get Ready rock fans, Bloomberg announced today that a Rock n Roll hall of fame annex will open on Mercer Street. Set to open in November, it will feature some reat artists and memorabilia such as Bruce Springsteen's 1957 Chevy (which Bloomberg sat in for some candid shots on Wednesday!)

Bloomberg stood along music idols Billy Joel and Clive Davis, as well as officials form the Hall of Fame to announce the planned opening of the Hall. Bloomberg stated, "this is where Ed Sullivan met the Beatles, where Lou Reed took a walk on the wild side." That's right, it's about time we pay tribute to the Rock n Roll side of SoHo!

Well, in the midst of being a bit depressed summer is approaching its closure, I must say we now have a reason to look forward to November.

No.. It's not a new Iphone.. Apple presents THE JONAS BROTHERS!

2008-08-14T08:59:00.001-07:00

The scene outside of the Apple Store appeared as if they were releasing a new Iphone on Tuesday. However, we were a bi concered since it consisted primarily of teeny bopper girls (I understand today's youth is in with technology but come on, I don't even have an Iphone yet!)

I love the Apple store and am a huge fan of all things Apple, but I don't know if I will ever understand the people who camp out for days just to be the first to get a new peice of technology.

Relief came when we found out the line wrapping around the entire block was for the Jonas Brothers, who were performing live at the APple Store! Although I am not familiar with any of their songs, I totally respect and understand camping out for a music performance.

So, cheers to the Jonas Brothers and I hope the show was well worth the wait for all of the followers!
