New York Randoms

Here are some of my Favourite images from my trip! Including a memorial for 9/11, Some clever advertising paintings, a stamp shop and a great graphic printing shop.

FIT

We took a visit to The Fashion Institute of Technology to look at the exhibition and walk around the campus. They had a Daphne Guinness exhibition on which was incredible. Her outfits were mind blowing and the shoes even more so. Obviously I couldn't get photos of the exhibition but inside they had projections and videos showing her work and her inspirations and a number of impeccably dressed mannequins!(I have and opportunity to study here in my second year...I WANT TO GO!!!)

VINTAGE

Whilst in the Meat Packing District we found a quirky vintage shop. Inside was an Aladdin's cave of sequinned jackets, dresses and rows and rows of cowboy boots! I didn't get to buy anything but the store was a great find, I love being able to rummage around in a shop to find a bargain!

Chelsea Market

Wandering around by the High line we came across Chelsea Market. inside was a selection of quirky shops, restaurants and market places. It wasn't really on show so i'm really glad we found it. Amazing and healthy food which was great to find in NY.

Love Padlocks

Whilst in New York we walked along the Brooklyn Bridge and I noticed all of these padlocks attached to fixtures and benches on the bridge. I researched it once I was home and it's a pop cultural phenomenon! Couples write their names on the padlocks and attach them to railings all over the world to show their strong commitment to each other. It's been seen in Germany, Italy and Russia and now its taking over the states! I just love the photos I was able to take, there is something really personal about them which makes them so interesting.

The Brooklyn Bridge

We visited the Brooklyn Bridge late in afternoon as the sun was coming down. We didn't walk all the way across but the view of the city was amazing. The sun peeping through the skyline was amazing and I managed to capture some really great photos.
