more than a fashion show

Picture
1st experience with Fashion House ATF, seriously exceeded any expectations I had. Viewing their Instagram post, it promised combination of fashion / vendors / arrive hungry for the food. A lot of credit for having day 2 on Easter Sunday. I realize this is New York City, not Lehigh Valley, PA area (don't ask on 2nd part). Arriving shortly after 3, vendors on 2 floors, you needed time to experience variety and food!

Ok, I was hungry, Gretel and Sons Soul Food easily took care of that part. Love cheeseburgers and their sliders rapidly made top part of my list. Even cold (yes I am weird), they were perfect! Over a week later thinking about the taste of their homemade barbecue sauce. In the mood for sweeter side, zero problem on that front. Think I spent around $75 on food including a few gifts at the fashion popup. Originally planned around $20, should give you a great idea in this area.

Fashion House ATF pulled off an excellent day 2 of Easter weekend. Combining different aspects (great variety of vendors / food / fashion / excellent DJ). Especially since the weather was beautiful outside. I was relaxing at Union Square earlier and thought "I really don't want to be inside". Easter weekend fashion popup / show turned out a great way to end the holiday! Honestly, main surprise was the fashion show. Scroll down for more.

Fashion show

This was not your typical fashion show, focusing on designer / clothes / accessories. That was main focus, obviously there was a main surprise here. At one point, each vendor was invited to the runway. Letting people know about what they did and products / services. An announcement was made to support them. Much respect to Fashion House ATF for placing equal importance on this aspect. Have hit the point where I want to experience an event vs. observing it. Don't care if it is live music, art show / exhibit, fashion, etc. Fashion House ATF easily provides an immersive experience, especially the runway part. It appears they want you to feel a part of the city and local community, regardless if you are a New Yorker or visitor / tourist. I remember viewing posts from Fashion Week February 2024. Every event was different while maintaining that core focus. These smaller events are more intimate while building up, giving a preview of New York Fashion Week.
