LIFE: My Paris Fashion Week 2016 Photo Diary

I adore Paris and I am so lucky to be able to travel there for work. And literally, anything is possible in life. If you haven’t traveled to a new continent and want to, just know – it can be done and be done affordably. I leave that for another post, but just for some inspirationally reference – I’m from the hood and literally shared a bed with my sister. If I can make it out – so can you!

Okay, now on to some fun photos…

Since I started traveling a lot for work in the past 2 years, I’ve become a pro. Vegan snacks, so I don’t die and my usual British Airways Flight…

Invites Galore. The difference between New York Fashion Week and Paris, is that you need your physical invite to get into the shows. It’s inconvenient at times, but kind of a nice tradition.

Later on, I DJ’ed for my NYC friends, Up & Down, who had a pop up shop/club at L’Arc. Virgil Abloh and Jus Ske also played some jams.
