     Art, to me, is a way that one expresses his views, his ideas, and his personality. Art can be displayed through paintings, poetry, music, etc. One form of art is fashion. The way one dresses can represent different aspects of his personality. People often try to express themselves through the clothing and accessories that they wear. Designers are artists who piece together garments using fabric and creativity; your body is a canvass to express yourself using different colors and styles of clothing.

            New York is one of the largest fashion capitols in the world. Fashion Week, held in Bryant Park, is a popular world-renown event in which famous designers are able to display their newest creations on the runway. Both designers and viewers alike only dream of being invited to Fashion Week. I actually almost went to Fashion Week this year, but unfortunately was unable to attend. I was considerably disappointed when I discovered I would miss out on this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to see the latest designs and styles on the catwalk.

            There are so many different styles and trends that are seen on the streets of New York City. Everyone in New York is so different and has different ideas they want to project through their personal styles. I have been in New York for a little over 3 weeks and have seen styles such as bohemian, punk, urban, earthy, edgy, modern, ghetto, and so many more. Often I’ll find mixtures of different styles that create new looks I have never seen before. Each style that I see is unique to the person who wears it and can give you insight to parts of their personality.

            Next time you walk down the streets of New York, take a look around. The people who surround you may be trying to tell you a story with their clothing. The styles that they choose can show some of their ideas, what they believe in, and who they are.
