What It's Really Like at Fashion Week, From Someone Who Just Went

Myself included. I was all too eager to shed my puffer coat for a quick photo, and it's a miracle I didn't catch a cold. Every season, New Yorkers pull out all the stops, which I completely understand because it is the time and place to show off your style. Photographers, too, will go to great lengths to snap a celebrity or get a good outfit shot. I've seen photographers run after Leighton Meester, aka Blair Waldorf, outside Kate Spade and get honked at or nearly run-over because they're in the middle of the road taking a blogger's photo. It's a chaotic scene for sure, though you'd never guess it looking at the photographs.
