“FLYING SOLO” at New York Fashion Week 2021

Though a deadly pandemic, some gray skies, a chilly temperature of 30 degrees, sporadic light, and drizzle threatened to literally and figuratively rain on the parade of models strutting down the runway adorned in beautiful pieces, they were not swayed. So, one by one, in 4-inch heels, they marched down the very slick rooftop runway and honored that designer’s creations.

The “FLYING SOLO” show would go on, and the masked crowd of stylishly bundled, socially distanced lovers of emerging fashion, warmed up by the heat lamps to witness the 470 looks of the SS21 collections of this year’s talented lineup.

It’s been a rough year, as we have all experienced on different personal levels, but New Yorkers have been doing what they do best—surviving, and fighting for a more optimistic future.

New York Fashion Week is about something bigger than us, something transcendent. The “FLYING SOLO” show soared to new heights, invigorating designers and lovers of high fashion—their smiles, I believe, made it all worthwhile.
