As a disclaimer, those who are looking for a fashion blogger, I am not it. My focus is targeted to event planning and marketing. The actual clothing is not.
~First day~

| Adrienne Bailon at Nolcha Fashion week |
The day began at Nolcha Fashion Week, which was my first time there. There were five collections (Baruni, Antonia Paris, Rebeca Tiago, Riza Manalo, and Castro-Rojas) presented at the show we attended. Adrienne Bailon even made an appearance. Then a launch party was on the agenda but because of lack of time, we headed straight to Pamela Quinzi's... party (post about that tomorrow).

THE CROWD-
At Mercedes Benz Fashion Week (MBFW) there is a clear attendee roster. Buyers, Stylists, Celebrities and other fashion influences. The event is a lot about money and glamour. Meanwhile the Nolcha Fashion Week seems to be more about support and the road to success. I say this because as the people piled in at Ailey Studios, there were more wide-eyed attendees who were just excited to have an opportunity to be at attendance to a fashion show. This is a quality that many MBFW goers lose. But there was also the common interest in finding something new and fresh in the air.

These events say "show is at 8:00" but actually begins at 8:30. This is a similarity that both fashion weeks. But MBFW has shows that you wait 30 minutes for but they last about 12 minutes. The part I like about Nolcha is there are numerous collections shown at once. Therefore the 30 minute wait ends up being more worth it.
THE SIZE-
There is definitely a difference in venue and audience size. But isn't the saying "quality over quantity"?
In the end, I surprisingly found myself torn about which I prefer. Maybe that's why they have both; so I don't have to.
For the Fashionistas-
I stumbled upon a designer I did find worth mentioning. Rebeca Tiago. You know this is true because I remembered her name and line without using google to look it up. Gorgeous clothes and Creative technique. Essential item was a red star she strategically placed on models. As well as her name. Brilliant.
What were your favorite collections from yesterday?
