Ah, Fashion Week… it’s a grand desire of mine to go. But I wouldn’t necessarily want to go in the shoes of the three who did go to Fashion Week in MTV’s True Life: I’m Going To Fashion Week, which aired Saturday, April 5. Stefanie is the assistant to Kelly Cutrone, founder of People’s Revolution, a PR company known to launch fashion labels (and is also, coincidentally, Whitney on MTV’s The Hills new place of employment. Hmmm.). Stefanie is, in short, Kelly’s personal slave; she makes her breakfast, works long hours to make sure everything’s done, and is especially busy during Fashion Week. Yes, Stefanie got to work Fashion Week, but personally, I’d want to keep my social life.

Jaime was a design student at the Academy of Art University and was chosen to show in Bryant Park. Pretty sweet, actually, and she got a ton of exposure – even if her stylist wanted her men’s collection to exude an air of Marvin the Martian. No, really. Lastly there’s Cassie, designer for New York Couture, who wasn’t chosen to show in Bryant Park, but had her own rad fashion show at Club Rebel. As a result, several boutiques picked up her line.

Ideally, I’d like to sit in the audience and just admire the fashion and not do lots of work like these three. But I guess Fashion Week really isn’t all fun and games, just ask those who work behind the scenes.

I still think that it would be cool to see the behind the scenes look at Fashion Week! Slave or not, it would be super cool! But I agree Steph, I would love to sit in the audience (front row of course) and check out the new threads. Hopefully one day when I am making my millions. :) lol

Being that every year I sit front and center at NY Fashion Week, I can personally attest it is an amazing experience. Be patient, I've been following your writing Stephanie S. and I think it is rather amazing, and am sure some day I will be sitting next to at Bryant park.

Pardon me, I was preoccupied approving some final edits at our office when I wrote this, I meant, "...sitting next to YOU at Bryant park."
