Lela Rose - The Final Look

Can I just start by saying, if you are in NYC right now why are you reading blogs? Close your computer and go outside and soak up the official most beautiful day in history.

If you are somewhere else, read on.

So, its NYFW again. Fall fashion week, such an inspiring time. This is my second year of living in the city during this annual September event, thus I am an expert. And my expert opinion is that this year is the year of the instagram.

Last fall I was still pecking away on my Blackberry and didn't have access to picture sharing apps... and I am going to go out on a limb and say that I wasn't the only one. But this year it seems like everyone on earth (or at least in NYC) has an iPhone permanently glued in their right hand, ready to capture pictures of their surroundings. And for people like me, who live vicariously through social media portals as a way to enjoy NYFW, the shows are so much more accessible this year thanks to instagram.

The above illustration is inspired by an instagram snapped by the Lela Rose team of the final look sent down the runway. Isn't it pretty?
