Fashion’s Night Out Opening Ceremony 2010

The fashion, the stars, and the incredible official opening ceremonies of Fashion’s Night Out around the world kicked off with a CBS televised event September 7th at the New York Fashion Week’s new location – Lincoln Center.  Set your DVRs to watch the entire show Tuesday, September 14th on CBS.

The largest public fashion show in New York history, this event appeared to whet the appetite for all those who love and appreciate fashion.  Sponsored by Vogue magazine and Spec Entertainment, the event drew 1500 ticketed guests to the plaza at Lincoln Center.  One hundred and fifty of the world’s top models opened and closed the ceremonies which began with the arrival of the most well-known names in the modeling industry stepping off of a double-decker bus while the tune of “Empire State of Mind” played for the audience.

Fall fashions were on display as they were paraded throughout the many runways at the plaza. To read more about all of the designs and celebrities that were spotted, click here. All in all, it appeared to be an amazing night to be in New York, and I can’t imagine a better way to begin what is fast becoming one of the most magical days in the fashion industry. Have a look at a handful of images captured during this fifteen minute hurrah.

Giselle Bundchen – Harper’s Bazaar June 2007

Three years ago, Karl Lagerfeld captured these radiant images of Giselle Bundchen for Harper’s Bazzar June 2007, and I began to reflect back on where I was three years ago.  What were my dreams?  Where was I in my life?  And I thought I’d pose that question to you.  If you were to look back only three short years ago, what would you recall, how far have you come, how have you changed?  Are you ever closer to achieving those hopes that seemed at first intangible?

These alluring, extravagant images seem so surreal upon first glance, but what if, as one of my favorite bloggers tweeted a few days ago, what would you do if you weren’t afraid? What would you be willing to do to make your dreams a reality you were able to engage in every day?

It may be a long road, but keep in mind today’s earlier post about making small tweaks.  Start now doing something day in and day out that at first may seem insignificant, but if done repeatedly, will reap great opportunities and rewards.
