Fashion Week Fix – 2/2/08
Fashion Week. Fashion Week. Fashion Week. Today I officially went to New York fashion week for the first time. I mean, I was actually in the tents, I was beyond stoked because before I even went in the tents I passed Nigel Barker and Hilary Alexander. Nigel looked straight at me, but it might have been because I had on my giant sunglasses.

I didn’t actually get to see any shows (I was helping the Coutorture girls), but I think things were more exciting off the runway than on anyway. I also saw Leigh Lezark and Geordon Nicol (that’s 2/3 of The Misshapes) going into Lacoste and Patrick McDonald sipping an espresso.
As for the actual shows. It looks as if Baby Phat is trying to rid itself of the typical ghetto fabulous vibe and has thrown a bit of flapper in the mix. Victorya Hong (yes, Victorya who was auf’d from this season of Project Runway) showed her Na-Be collection, and it looks a bit blah, but I heard the music at the show was great. BCBG Max Azria will have everyone tying their belts instead of buckling them next fall, and Nicole Miller shows us how to match that oh-so-fall mustard yellow color. So much has gone on, but by far, my favorite look has come from the Academy of Art runway show. Hot pink and ruffles— score!
Head to the Coutorture gallery to see pictures and video of the shows.
