New York Fashion Week Countdown

Hi everyone, how was your Labor Day weekend? 

It's always tough getting back in the grind after any extended holiday. I am sitting here at work, counting down the hours already (and it's only 11am). Speaking of countdowns -- real count down begins for Mercedes Benz/New York fashion week! Officially 1 day, 20 hours, 45 minutes :) Can you tell I am obsessed and excited for the 2013 Fall fashion week to kick off?! Excited to see what designers like Diane Von Furstenberg, Zac Posen, Carolina Herrera, Tory Burch, Vera Wang, and more are going to roll out for Spring 2014 collection!

Quick Fashion Week trivia for the day -- DID YOU KNOW, the first New York Fashion Week (which was then called "Press Week") was the world's first ever organized fashion week. The first one was held in 1943, designed to attract attention away from the French fashion during World War II, when fashion industry insiders were unable to travel to Paris to see French fashion shows. :)
