It’s here! It’s here! Fashion Week is here! And if you aren’t cool enough to be a magazine editor, celebrity or insanely lucky (aka rich) person, all you can do is read about it.
But don’t be jealous; all you’re missing are fifteen-minute shows bogged down by open bars and gift bags. New York still happens to be steamy right now, so even if you got to sit next to the Olsen twins, you wouldn’t be very comfortable (in addition to the obvious reaction of being scared for their health).
I should also mention that the shows feature Spring 2009 collections. Yes, Spring 2009. On the eve of a long and ominously cold winter, I do not need to be teased by skimpy outfits I won’t be able to wear until June, or May if I’m lucky.
Despite all of New York Fashion Week’s oddities, there happens to be another fashion event that manages to be more ridiculous. New York Pet Fashion Week.
