Fashion Week!!

Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week kicks off tomorrow and alas I am thousands of miles away from the iconic tents at Lincoln Center. New York City is about to dive into eight days of fashion frenzy and, while I generally hate crowds and craziness, I would love to be there to witness it all. I want to see the frazzled designers, Amazonian models, pushy paparazzi, A-list celebs, magazine editors, social divas and fanatical groupies of the fashion scene. I’d love to be both backstage and front row. Hell I’d even take back row. I want to be there to experience the thrill of seeing beautiful people wearing beautiful clothes, strutting to the beats spun by Mr. DJ in the A/V booth. If I had my pick, I’d attend Max Azria, Herve Leger, Ports 1961, ADAM, Prabal Gurung, Zac Posen, Malandrino, Diane von Furstenberg, Donna Karen New York, Elie Tahari, Tibi, and Narciso Rodriguez. Just to name a few. And on top of those runway shows there’s Fashion’s Night Out, a celebration of fashion. Stores are open late into the evening, designers will be in their flagships, models will be stalking about, parties will be everywhere and people will be bustling around the city like mad. No doubt, the next eight days in the Big Apple will be absolute madness and I wish I could be there.
