NY Fashion Week Wrap-up
By admins | September 17, 2009
Wow, it’s been crazy around here lately. Between new sampling, production deadlines, Fashion Week and blogging it’s amazing that we’re still here! As we’ve written before, many designers in our neighborhood never get to attend the Fashion Week shows. They are busy slaving away on techpacks for non-runway labels, or worse aren’t even invited to the show of the company they work for, or perhaps they have started their own label and can not afford to absorb the sky high cost of a NYC runway show. Many of us, year after year, get a bit jaded when it comes to all the Fashion Week hype. It’s often more for the media types, than those of us who are up to our ears in sampling packages! And yes, occasionally, we have those moments of, “Why the hell is there a giant tent in the way of my favorite Bryant Park lunch spot? Waahhh I’m hungry!” But for some reason, this year seemed a bit more exhilarating and the feeling of something big was definitely in the air.
Fashion Week has always been a busy time, and this year it seems like NYFW was on steroids! Maybe it was the frenzy of Fashion’s Night Out or perhaps we are ready to be done with the recession and its sour effect on the fashion world, whatever the reason Fashion Week seemed to be in overdrive. The lack of parties and tent shows from last season were a distant memory. We had a fantastic time and decided to post some favorite looks from the last week. While, we are perhaps skilled designers, patternmakers, graphic artists, (maybe even writers?) we don’t have a decent camera in the bunch. Therefore, please enjoy these photos courtesy of NY Magazine!

One of the most spectacular events of this last week has been meeting up with many other fabulous and talented fashion bloggers. We especially want to thank Jennine from The Coveted for hosting another fantastic IFB soiree. How she does it all, we have no idea but bravo to you Jennine for all your work and looking so hot while doing it! We had a lovely time and especially want to give a shout-out (remember those?) to some fellow bloggers from the event whose sites you must check out: Jordana from Clutch 22, Wendy from Wendy Brandes Jewelry Blog, the ladies from Fasshonaburu, Nichelle from Style Mom, Crosby of PR Couture, the Fine & Dandy boys, Gilda from Queen Gilda and Susie from Style Bubble.

Jennine is the best! She did an amazing job. And that Malandrino has a rather Ossie Clark neckline so of course I like it!
