DYKIM Collective: First Light in Times Square

This is the first gathering of the DYKIM Collective—a New York City fashion + creative community built for people who move with intention, style, and vision. We’re meeting in Times Square, not because it’s quiet, but because it’s alive. This is about being seen, taking up space, and stepping into identity without hesitation. Expect a casual meet-and-greet, street-style energy, creative networking, and space for conversation about fashion, personal branding, photography, styling, music, and building presence in NYC. This is not an exclusive industry event—it’s an emerging collective. Bring your perspective, your style, and your presence. Dress like you mean it. Location: Times Square (The Red Steps) Time: [6:00pm] Bring: Yourself, your vision, and a willingness to connect. DYKIM Collective is in its first chapter. This is the beginning of the run.

WTF (Weekly Tuesday Folders)

**NEW LOCATION:** OMG NYC (Origami Meetup Group! New York City) is a group for people to come together and share in the beautiful art of Origami - an ancient art of folding various mediums, most commonly paper. The word comes from the combination of the Japanese verb oru (to fold) and the noun kami (paper). Other materials often folded are fabric, wire mesh, sheet metal, tissue, thin plastic, cardboard, and straws. We meet as a group to teach each other new models and share paper, books, and tips. This meeting is free and open to all level of folders from beginners to advanced. There will be free paper available to share. You can bring your own paper and books, so you can just show up and fold! If you have models you would like to learn, or teach, let us know and we will try our best to accommodate. OMG NYC's WTF (Weekly Tuesday Folders) meetup is now located at the Stavros Niarchos Foundation Library at 455 5th Avenue. The meeting is on the 3rd floor in room 303. Registration is strongly recommended. You can go to the website [bit.ly/omgorigami](bit.ly/omgorigami) and register for the date you will be attending. Seating is limited so those who register for the event are given priority. Food is not allowed in this library except on the 7th floor. Covered drinks are allowed. The library policy for this meetup is that it is for adults only.
