NY Fashion Week: Front Row If you are not, do not go!

  I have a saying: If you are not the first place, do not go! I say this because these shows usually have seven lines with a series of humiliating assigned to the PR people, the "important". Photographers shoot only the first line and the rest well, just do not matter. You can do this throughout the map coverage. Perhaps there should be a single row of seats for important people, and everyone must be held (although I think it would be funny for Kim Kardashian sitting alone) be.

Ok, so you can go to some of the shows.

When I went to Lincoln Center and sat in the tent for the Rebecca Minkoff show, I felt like a potato baked in a blazer because it. Not much in the way of air conditioning Despite the unpleasant temperature, the thing was just amazing. After he. His work, I almost understood why deceive women orgasms for these things

I made a quick pit stop for some lemonade vodka and air conditioning in the VIP lounge, Mercedes Benz before visiting the show Nicole Miller (front row, of course). I sat next to the former manager of hedge fund magnate is beauty, Julie Macklowe, who free samples of eye cream V Beaute was, and model Irina Pantaeva of my pen and asked me to join him in his crusade to end fracking - I thought, sure, why not? This tent was air conditioned, which seemed unnecessary, since the models were so hot that I started to feel like a baked potato again. Note to designers: attention for hiring models who fantasize about them all so hot without clothes.

Then we went to the opening of Emporio Armani flagship store, where I employed Olympic gold swimmer Ryan Lochte Earn that I am in the living room earlier Minkoff Sat This poor guy he can not even take a deep breath (but consider it, therefore, the gold medals ). Ryan took the girls and guys lined up around him, as if what he was removed Jimmy Choo. Yes, I said "guy", ie remember the Fashion Week?

When I show the eyewear designer Stevie Boi on Yotel room, I was ready for a drink. I mean, more drinks. What a waste of a taxi $ 20. There was a cash bar! Nobody made a cash bar at NYFW. And it seems odd looking pair of glasses that you can not see, that's a good thing, because you can prevent from looking in the mirror and see how you look ridiculous.

Fortunately, it was still too early, and I was on the list for Minkoff after-party in the chic Gramercy Park Hotel Rose Bar. Upon entering, I was immediately a great facility with VIP Moet and Grey Goose discovered on ice. I introduced myself to the guy very nice white Converse sneakers that kept this area. I asked: "Is this the section for that special someone?" And he said a few minutes later, I was informed that he was the husband of Rebecca Minkoff "Do not hesitate to take a seat.".

Ten minutes and four glasses of Moet later, a beautiful brunette asked me who I was when she sat next to me was. I told him that Rebecca husband told me to stay there. She said, "Oh, I just checked to make sure you are in the group as my company is hosting the party." I asked him the name of his company, and she said. "Rebecca Minkoff" . I asked them what they have for the company, said: "I'm Rebecca Minkoff." It was an honest mistake, although I should have put the two together, and it's not like his face is on the handbags.

As the night turned Rebecca me to all his friends that he super-cute new friend. She even told me she got the "friend discount" when renowned DJ Cassidy introduced the event, I thought: "Damn, she knows David Cassidy" I blame the confusion on the Partridge Family Moet, not at my age. Both Rebecca and her husband had an incredible energy, were very down to earth and very humble. I'm glad to have a party.

Rambling # NYFW: New York Fashion Week attracts a composer, aspirants, and the boys go without socks through the world, just kiss the air by people who design socks (many times the same people again and average for seven consecutive days) for the record, I was wearing socks, but I went to the George Washington Bridge, and all my kisses NO.

  The press, models, celebrities, athletes, and Blogger is photography and writing on smartphones while walking for miles on foot and blocks might walk a little research into a common tradition during the New York Fashion Week. Everywhere you look, there are beautiful clothes, beautiful hair, beautiful jewelry and beautiful people.

It is all that and more on the three-ring circus that is Fashion Week in New York, which began on Thursday with designers, retailers, and the old and new media converged in Manhattan Spring Summer 2013 Collections.

The photo shoot 7 days includes parades and presentations in the storage room on Hudson River piers and organized art galleries of Chelsea, the Park Avenue Armory and tony places like the Hotel Carlyle - and that under the tent at Lincoln Center, the heart of the Fashion Week.

Besides the big acts such as Ralph Lauren, Michael Kors, Marc Jacobs and Tory Burch, there are many side-show attractions.

Sammi "Sweetheart" Giancola ("Jersey Shore" cast member and fanatical obvious physical) comes to the fashion week for the first time on his online fitness fashion with SXE Fitness and Whitney Port (star show MTV's "The Hills" and "City" ) is back with his contemporary line, Whitney Eve, and probably some kind of rolling cameras.

Meanwhile, the trend of celebrities make itself known as a designer too. All eyes will be when Katie Holmes and stylist Jeanne Yang, the Holmes & Yang show for the first time, during Fashion Week. The first Mrs. Tom Cruise is no doubt in the hope that the presentation of the line launched in 2009 to life, is the fresh start they need to enter the next phase of his life.

Victoria Beckham shows off her collection upscale and its cheap Victoria by Victoria Beckham line, while Avril Lavigne Abbey Dawn for Kohl presented his line.

But enough with the circus, what clothes? Pantone distinctive emerald green, blue dusk, African violet, tangerine, poppy red, and so-called "green shoots" green warm colors of the season. Trend forecaster WGSN and predicted that cropped tapered trousers matched, and will cut shorter to make a big screen.

Made in China, Romania, where the facts? Obtained during the course of the Ralph Lauren has flak over the new uniforms Olympic opening ceremony he made the American team were made in China, we can ask ourselves if affects consumer confidence made for products in the U.S. fashion designer and buyer of the season.

Industry bible Women's Wear Daily has published several articles on this topic on Wednesday, suggesting that "like a phoenix, the U.S. textile and manufacturing industry was able to be back on the rise", due to a combination of social and economic factors, including The Great Recession and higher wages in Asia. WWD has also carried out the results of a study by the market research firm NPD Group published reports that 21% of respondents would buy American shirt that in another country, as long as the price was no more than 25% higher.

"It's something I'm doing my due diligence," said Eric Jennings, fashion director of Saks Fifth Avenue men said when asked to buy other brands that manufacture in the U.S.. "I really want to find the right brand for men's made-in-American, that we have reached."

But Stephanie Solomon, fashion director of Bloomingdale women, the question is more complicated. "This is not the center of the fashion world, the United States, it is Paris," she said with regard to how the designers of the city outweighs always get the direction of the trend. "If you're a consumer interested in high fashion, and the art of haute couture, you are interested in what comes out of Europe."

That's why, when New York Fashion Week ends on Friday, will pick up the circus and to London, Milan and Paris, where the last word on the spring season finally, 3 Move to October.
