Designers and brave fashionistas turned up in force for Day Two of New York Fashion Week as the blistering blizzard rages outside.
Jason Wu presented his fall-winter collection at posh Park Avenue. Celeb guests included Jamie King, Allison Williams and Stephanie Seymour. Wu, who designed two dresses for Michelle Obama, sent down a variation of the First Lady’s scarlet inaugural gown down the runway.
The Rebecca Minkoff collection was presented with live music from Wild Club. Ashlee Simpson and Jamie King sat front row, and Lauren Bush Lauren wore unconventional footwear to the show as freezing sleet fell on the city. Lauren tweeted: “My trusty LL Bean boots sitting front row at @rebeccaminkoff Surprising amount of stilettos despite Nemo.…”
The contestants on this season’s “Project Runway” also sent their designs down the runway at Fashion Week’s home, Lincoln Center this morning. “Runway” judges Heidi Klum, Michael Kors, Nina Garcia and guest judge Zac Posen got to critique the looks for the Season 11 finale.
Even after 11 years, the supermodel host was just as thrilled with the experience. Klum told reporters, “I feel the love from all of you — the support for our show, which started out very small and grew bigger and bigger every year.”
