The Runway Scene

So I totally forgot to tell everyone what my blogs will consist of... I'm sure you can tell by now that I'm going to be talking about what's going on in the fashion/style world. My first post was about Marc Jacob's Fall 2007 Collection.
Who watched shows during New York Fashion Week? I know I love watching Full Frontal Fashion and seeing what the designers have come up with for their new collections but I've decided to discuss the backstage scene during New York Fashion Week. I usually go to nytimes.com and look through the fashion and style section to see what catches my attention. I found a cool video showing what goes on behind the scenes; the models practicing on the runway, hair/makeup, champagne, press interviews, and conversations with designers about their inspirations for their collections. The video was actually from someone who posted a blog on the nytimes website. For the first time, Marc Bouwer made his collection completely free of animal fibers, saying that there should be no cruelty involved in fashion. There were 77 shows for New York Fashion Week and a whole lot of press and it is always interesting to see what goes on behind the scenes. I've never been to a show yet but I'm hoping I will in the near future.

Here's the website for the video: http://runway.blogs.nytimes.com/
The video is on the right and its the last sample video you can watch.
