Olsen Twins
The stylish twins are always part of the front row during fashion week, but this year they are taking a step center stage to have a seated show of their Fall/Winter collection from The Row.
Jac and Jil
Look forward to Tommy Ton’s behind the scenes and high-end street style photography on Style.com and of course on The Jak & Jil Blog. You won’t get this up-close and personal with editors and models anywhere else.
Alexander Wang and Gaia Repossi Jewelry Collaboration
Alexander Wang already stole our hearts with the Coco Duffel bag, and now he is at it again but this time expanding into a jewelry collection with Gaia Repossi. The collection has historical touches with a futuristic feel to it. Look for the bracelets, necklaces, rings and earrings on the models during Wang’s runway show.
Music and Fashion
Music and fashion have always complemented each other well. Perhaps that’s why newbie to NY fashion week, Peter Jensen, is having Nina Persson of the Cardigans perform at his show, plus a show on Valentine’s Day deserves some love songs. Also playing with the beat is Rachel Comey, who will be having the group Hex Message set the vibe for her Fall/Winter collection.
