What is Stitch Fix?

Stitch Fix calls itself “your online personal stylist” for good reason. Sign up and take the style quiz, and Stitch Fix selects items from its huge inventory, that it thinks you’ll like. All items are picked by a team of experts based on what they think might work best for you. Everything is considered including your personal aesthetic, your style, your budget, plus where you plan on attending. It accounts for the office, an active lifestyle, along with a look you might want on a date or night out.

Despite being considered a subscription box, there’s no subscription required. You simply get sent a Stitch Fix box when requested. It includes one full outfit from footwear to pants and shirts. From there, you can try them out and see what you like most. Best of all, you don’t have to worry about driving to a store, dealing with other customers or pesky staff, and you get to try everything on from the comfort of your own home. What more could you want?

Parmigiani Fleurier Tonda PF Micro Rotor Platinum

The new Parmigiani Fleurier Tonda PF Micro-Rotor Platinum is a subtle luxury statement with a minimalistic design—a laid-back aesthetic that’s quite interesting.

Speaking on the design, Michel Parmigiani. founder and master watchmaker, said, "The Golden Ratio is far more than a mathematical formula: it is the universal breath that orders beauty and harmony. Every creation I shape—from the curves of the lugs to the guilloché patterns—carries this eternal balance. It is the guiding thread, the invisible essence that connects the case’s proportions, the grace of the hands, and the soul of every timepiece. Through it, watchmaking becomes a silent poetry, an echo of nature’s immutable laws.”

However, as I made my way up North from Madison Square Park to The Prince George Ballroom in the Flatiron District, I found myself in a different sort of environment, the kind where the designer of the collection about to walk down the runway also served as the DJ. From the clothes to the tunes to the ideology, Rayan Alami had a hand in every aspect of his New York Fashion Week debut. After seeing designer after designer with the same philosophies throughout New York, Alami embodied the name of his debut collection at Fashion Week, "I am Different."
Using music and culture to blend a unique style

New York Fashion Week is essentially an opportunity to blend art and fashion into one and tell a story through sartorial expression. While designers find inspiration in all walks of life, Alami uses his multicultured heritage and his love of music to blend a style truly unique in the industry.
