The last two days of fashion week were just as overwhelming as the first. The week closed with such incredibly relevant showings, all of which left me yearning for more when normally I just walk away feeling partially satiated. Only four shows were left for me to see which included...

This week has been a little crazier than usual, but it's almost over. I'm at that point where there's nothing more that I want than to have it all end. The shows and parties are fun. Seeing all my friends who I don't normally see on a regular basis is...

I have never seen Fashion Week explode with such an intense array of powerhouse showings as it did this past Friday. The city was sent into an incredible state of frenzy over the designer collections shown that day which included Rag & Bone, Christian Cota, Shipley and Halmos, Zang Toi,...

It's only the second official day of Fashion Week, but I've already been going seemingly non-stop for five days. The time leading up to the official start of the week is very crucial with everyone vying for just a momentary turn in the spotlight right before all hell breaks loose...

It seems like only a couple of months since I last came to you with news of fashion week here in New York, but it has been five months almost to the day. The cyclical repetition of this particular industry has always amazed me. A designer shows their Spring/Summer...

One of my favorite times of the year is the first weekend in December, right after Thanksgiving and a few weeks before Christmas. The chaos of the holidays is palpable, but it hasn't yet sunk in and morphed itself into the frantic anxiety which you just can't shake. Coincidentally, it's...

When I first moved to New York, The Plaza Hotel was one of the first things I went to see. One can't doubt its iconic stature from mint juleps in The Great Gatsby to seeing double in Big Business with Bette Midler and Lily Tomlin. I know, I know. The...

Growing up in a Lebanese household during the late 80s and early 90s wasn't very conducive to casual talks of politics. Usually, the conversations between my parents and their friends got so heated that I had to run to my...

I opened my eyes early Wednesday morning, stretched the sleep out of my body and immediately realized that I'm not going to be able to sleep in past 6am until October! Do you have any idea what that feels like? It's not pretty. We got out of bed anyway and...

The Marc Jacobs show is always my "Wednesday" so to speak. It's the hump in the week where everything thereafter is a downhill trek. Granted, it's a LONG downhill trek, but at least it's downhill. Over the past seven days, I've attended...

We're only halfway through Fashion Week, and it's always right about this time that we begin to wonder how much more we can take. We've been living on four to five hours a sleep a night since Wednesday. We've already gone through seven packets of Green Vibrance, and we're...

Every fashion season in New York there's a hectic clamor to be the unofficial "official" party that launches Fashion Week, but only one usually comes out on top. This season, that party was without question.
Let's discuss...
Wednesday night, Vogue.TV and my good friend, Elettra Wiedemann, celebrated...

New York Fashion Week is a powerful machine churning out designer collections and events unlike any other fashion week in any other fashion capital in the world, with over 250 designers showing their creations in fewer than seven days all across the city. It's a finely orchestrated process, which serves...
