Not much has changed on the tech style scene since Mark Zuckerberg introduced the forever 'je ne m'inquiete pas' look of jeans and a worn, shrunken hoodie. The city's residents are clearly ready for change as they lined up around the block for the Emerging Designers event on Friday. "Give us inspiration! Something, anything!?" they cried.
When the doors finally opened, San Francisco's young, eclectic mix of the city's most stylish men and women poured into a lofty industrial space, met by electronic tunes from the DJ, the local designers, fashion bloggers, and a fresh take on fashion.
5 Fun Facts I've Learned from San Francisco Fashion Week
September 25, 2014
Yesterday the third day of San Francisco Fashion Week, and I've been asked to be one of the hosts for tonight's event, Fashion Bloggers Connect: Style & Beauty Series. This will take place at the General Assembly at 501 Folsom St in San Francisco, CA. I am honored, and excited to be able to share my ideas, and be a part of something so awesome.
I may not be an expert in Fashion, however, I do know quite a bit about Personal Style. The difference between the two was further explained by a panel of fashion tech experts last night at the Retail Tech Summit, an event that focused on today’s retail market; and posed the theory that San Francisco will eventually be the leader in not only the Tech world, but also in Fashion and Retail.
Here are a few things I've learned so far this week on Fashion & Personal Style:
1. Tailored suits look amazing on everyone:
2. Comfortable shoes are a style in themselves
3. Sustainability is more than a buzzword, its the style of life.

Clothing made with 100% recycled and found material
4. Stay Hydrated with stylish designer water

5. Heels are timeless, but don't try to walk everywhere in them. Take the new Lyft Plus
Hope to see you tonight at General Assembly for another fantastic evening.
Fashion, meet tech. Tech, meet fashion.

Not having lived in San Francisco a full year, the fashion scene in this city is still a mystery to me; waiting to be uncovered beyond basic observations. Prior to attending any San Francisco Fashion Week (SFFW) events this week, I pictured something found in last year's August edition of Vogue (pictured here below).

Today is the first day of fall. Any change of season brings in a feeling of renewal and change. This week especially brings significant change into my life as I leave Sony Corp, one of the largest tech companies in the world, as well as my employer for the past four years, to embark out on my own as an independent design consultant.
