I think it's fitting that as New York Fashion Week has come to an end, I barely have the time to recap. The fashion moment -- and all its assorted ups and downs -- has come and gone, and I'm en route to London to make it happen all over again. But in true NY minute style, here's a detailed look at Fashion Week, by the numbers:
