AMCONYC Spring 2018: New York Fashion Week

AMCONYC NYFW SS18

By Adriana Marie

Thile NYFW seems to have an uncertain future, AMCONYC keeps pushing through the turmoil proving that New York Fashion Week is still the hub for emerging brands.

AMCONYC Fashion Week, sponsored by Sacha Cosmetics, came to a close on Thursday, September 14th, 2017 after they welcomed over 3,000 guests throughout the six emerging designer showcases at Studio 450. Adding to the ‘wow’ factor of a seamless production, Aveda was the hair sponsor for their 4th season in a row. With all of the negative reviews for NYFW as a whole, we welcome you to join in the success of our shows.

AMCONYC had a very successful season doubling their projections, and exceeding them to over 24 million impressions and counting. A selection of the industry’s top editors, bloggers, fashion pundits and influencers filled the seats during the two days including Vogue Italia, Nylon Magazine, The LA Fashion, Obvious Magazine, The Fase Magazine, Cosmos Russia. Popular talent included Chris Porter, Didi J Official, Stevie Boy, and Gloria Monserrat, among many others, leaving the shows vividly impressive. Top tier influencers such as Isabel Bedoya, Jessica Luxe, and Joice Oliveira also made their front row appearance. We also welcomed transgender model, Mimi Tao, and Madeline Stuart – down syndrome model, to the runway.

The designers AMCONYC decided to work with included Maj Designs, Klad Apparel, Zula Studio, Bradelis New York, Nicole Bell, and Atelier Kate. All of which were flawlessly constructed. All approved images can be found here with photographer credit listed on each image for easy reference.

“Our vision is to nurture the future of fashion and foster emerging designers by offering the opportunity to showcase during NYFW at an affordable price with an organized company,” says Adriana Marie, founder of AMCONYC.

“There is a lot of talk about NYFW being dead, but that’s just not the case with these young designers. They rely on this week to showcase their collections to the world. Just as the big brands have had that opportunity for decades, sustaining that opportunity for the young brands is crucial to the economic future of the city. We should not take that majestic feeling away from them because the industry is unsure what to do. We support them. That is what we do.”

During the three day extravaganza, Sacha Cosmetics showcased their amazing beauty products with a full service beauty lounge on site which was open to the public each day from 11 am – 8pm. Attendees, models, and staff were treated to a makeup touch up by the brand’s outrageously talented brand ambassadors. Other sponsors include, St. Giles Hotel, Sutra Beauty, AVEDA, Deco Miami, B Floral and Styled Sharp.

To close out the three-day expose, AMCONYC teamed up with Variety the Children’s Charity of New York, The Door, and FabScrap to host a lively fashion show showcasing original, sustainable designs from some of The Doors’ talented youth under the guidance of students from FIT. This special night welcome guests including Joseph DeAcetis (Style Director of Forbes) and Richard Aloisio (Former Art Director of The New York Times).
