Fashion Week 2008!!

Fashion Week (officially September 5 – 12, 2008 ) was really fantastic! Spring 2009 collections belonging to some of the world’s top designers were shown on the runways and you couldn’t help but bump into gorgeous people everywhere. TV crews were hanging around backstage for interviews; paparazzi, fans and bloggers alike had their cameras ready for chance celebrity encounters; and free samples were handed out to every pedestrian in the area. On that note, one great thing about New York Fashion Week is that security only exists to prevent uninvited people from entering the actual, individual tents. Anyone can wander around the area, mill with the fashionable people, or sit and relax in the beautiful Bryant Park!

Now, let’s talk about the shoes! Any blog or fashion magazine can show you photos of what went down the runways so I thought it might be a little more interesting to show you what real women were wearing that week! Some were dressed for comfort, which is understandable since hopping from tent to tent all day can equate to quite a bit of mileage. But others looked like they probably sleep in their stilettos. In the pictures we took for you below you’ll see what I did: a ton of black pumps (with the tallest heel you can manage), cowboy boots, gladiator sandals and bejeweled styles.
