Even though Mother Nature was not so kind yesterday, with icy cold rain pouring down the on the first day of Fashion Week, fashion lovers were not deterred and filed into the tents of Bryant Park dressed to impress. Most fashionistas were dressed smartly for the weather – in black frocks layered with stylish coats – and I was able to blend right into the crowd in...

Are you excited about Fashion Week yet? We have been since the beginning of the year.
