Katie Holmes Before Holmes & Yang Show | Pictures

Katie Holmes stepped out in NYC today ahead of her Holmes & Yang show at Fashion Week. The presentation will be Katie's first ever during the shows in the Big Apple. Katie and her design partner, Jeanne Yang, worked together on a range of pieces that Katie told WWD recently were "basically pieces that have evolved from basics, but not too far. They're just nice, well-made luxury items that highlight the woman wearing them." Early tweets and reactions from the presentation at The Box in Lincoln Center show Holmes & Yang separates in fabrics like leather and silk. New York Times writer Eric Wilson tweeted, "At Holmes & Yang, it all looks very much like Katie." This is a big week for Katie, but not just because of her clothing's debut — her daughter, Suri Cruise, also started her first day of school.
