Fashion For Sandy Relief

Having never experienced a natural disaster of such magnitude, the New York area is still feeling the devastating effects of Hurricane Sandy.  The Tory Burch Foundation has joined forces with the Council of Fashion Designers of America and Vogue for Fashion for Sandy Relief.  In honor of the relief effort, the foundation has expanded its previously scheduled private sale to include the American and international fashion communities.  Participating brands include Tory Burch, Carolina Herrera, Theory, J.Crew, Diane von Furstenberg, Valentino and Marc Jacobs, among others.  100% of net proceeds will benefit the Mayor’s Fund to Advance New York City and the Tri-State Area.

So happy to see the fashion community coming together for such a great cause.  If you’re in the New York area be sure to stop by the Metropolitan Pavilion for some couture charity.

Twas the Night Before Fashion Week

Twas the night before Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week
And all thought the city
Not a Chihuahua was stirring
Because everyone looked pretty

The Prada bags were hung in the showroom with care
In hopes that something Chanel soon would be there

Anna Wintour in Louboutin heels
And I in Tory Burch flats
Had just settled down for a much-needed nap

For socialites, every week is Fashion Week and every night is Fashion’s Night Out. During the official Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week, however, you have to celebrate a little bit harder. On this very rainy eve of New York Fashion Week it is time we all took in one last breath and a long nap in preparation for all of the elegantly overwhelming shows, parties, previews, and appearances to come.

Tomorrow night Sept. 8th (6-11 pm) I will be cruising around the Meatpacking District rain or shine in celebration of Fashion’s Night Out. I can’t think of a better way to begin Fashion Week than with extended shopping hours everywhere complete with free champagne and hors d’oeuveres to compliment the already wonderful shopping experience. Who knows what surpirizes this monumental week has in store for us. Our old childhood friend, Barbie, will even be making an appearance. Seeing that none of us can be in two places at once, all shows will be streaming on YouTube. Get ready to be as busy as Rachel Zoe.
