And about Fashion Week September 19, 2009
In a highly unlikely scenario, I have gone through an entire fashion week, without a single post on it. In fact, I went down to the tents to meet a fashion editor friend and while I didn’t have a ticket inside this year, just hanging out at the entrance, it all struck me as so much more subdued. Heck, you could even get chairs at the little Bryant Park outdoor cafe. That said, fashion is still fashion and I have a new favorite site for coverage: Stylist.com. This site has an edge and point of view that makes most traditional fashion sites (and you know who you are) look staid and tradition-bound. Stylist.com makes fashion fun again. And I know for a fact that the editors have been working thier little hearts out night and day to get the cheekiest coverage to you and there’s a whole week’s worth in the banks now. I especially like the blog. Check it out.

Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week – that very exclusive, invitation-only (sorry, you’re soooo not invited) fashion takeover of New York City – kicks off Thursday morning. But, don’t feel left out, because Thursday evening it’s “Fashion’s Night Out,” an open-to-the-public fashion invasion of epic proportions. Starting around 6, with most participating stores open until 11 p.m., think celebrities, designer appearances (Oscar de la Renta sings at his Madison Avenue store), free stuff, lessons (cha-cha at Kate Spade?) and all-around wacky happenings (ping-pong with Stuart Weitzman). More than 700 retailers in the metro area are participating, along with events in other fashion capitals around the world. …
Barney’s Warehouse sale this weekend in NYC (through Sept. 7) September 5, 2009
Walk, don’t run to the Barney’s Warehouse sale at 17th btw Sixth and Seventh Avenues. You’ll find Valentino, Burberry, Armani, Givenchy and more at prices up to 75% off. Find it here!
- Survival tips:
- Bring only your purse and enter via the downstairs men’s department so that you can bypass the bag check line!
- Wear leggings and a close-fitting shirt so that you can try on in any aisle without stripping down (the dressing area is a tiny cramped vortex of naked women and flying couture—once you enter you may never get out.)
- Use the mirrors in the men’s department and pay down there, too. It’s cooler and more civilized. (No man would ever survive the pandemonium of the upstairs women’s department at the Warehouse Sale.)
