During New York Fashion Week, a handful of attendees were asked a very important question: For whom do women dress? Here's what they had to say . .

Phew. It's been a long two weeks of fashion shows, but I'm definitely invigorated by so many of the hair and makeup looks. I'm also excited to share some behind-the-scenes secrets with you—the kind of stuff you don't usually hear about.
You heard about my fashion week fumbles, but that's just a result of the stars not aligning quite right this time around. Though it's a fast and furious week, it's a fabulous week. I wouldn't have it be any different, really. 
Who knew a fun way to kill time at Fashion Week was to snap pictures of fashionistas' handbags? I am more of a shoe girl, but fabulous bags were just dangling left and right and I had to give you a peek at the bags of New York Fashion Week. The most popular were Goyard, Marni, Mulberry, Prada, Chanel and, my personal favorite, Yves Saint Laurent.
Some New York designers channeled their dark side for Fall. I wonder if this has anything to do with the dark get ups of fashion influencers Kate Moss and the Olsens. Perhaps.
Velvet is back, in a major way. The rich, heavy, but super soft fabric that conjures up images of Medieval Times, holiday dresses when I was five and the early '90s, has taken a turn for the better. As long as crushed velvet stays at bay, today's velvet evokes romance and richness; such was the case at Ralph Lauren (left).
Being aufed from this season of Project Runway didn't get Victorya Hong down. In fact, she came back full force and staged a whole runway show last week at New York Fashion Week — more than those still left on Project Runway can say for themselves, since they shared a catwalk. Just minutes before her label, Na-Be by Victorya Hong, made its runway debut, Bella (thanks doll!) caught up with Victorya for a few Fab words . 
New York Fashion Week marked the launch of Catherine Malandrino's first-ever jewelry collection. This is exciting news for the designer's followers because each piece was created to match her Fall '08 collection. Necklaces (as in left), rings, cuffs, and earrings in shades of green, cognac, charcoal, and black are composed of raw minerals and semiprecious stones like African jade, aventurine, tigereye, agate, and enamel.
I have always been drawn to exotic models (European mix white girl right here). However, my favorite model of all time is Canadian, with a bit of Italian, Linda Evangelista, but really, she's the best. With today's girls, not only is there not enough diversity but obscure looking blondes rule the runway.
