Lubov Azria, chief creative officer of BCBG Max Azria, asked me backstage, minutes before the start of the first big show of New York Fashion Week.

New York Fashion Week is associated with upscale, glamorous places like Bryant Park and Lincoln Center.

Selena Gomez and Ciara took in the air from the rooftop of the McKittrick Hotel for Polo’s eclectic spring presentation that offers pops of bright color and dark-wash denim. I’ll silently take note of who’s sitting in the front row and what they’re wearing. The venue has been a hit in the past with fashion week followers because it’s centrally located and close to other things to do and see, in case people care to grab dinner or a drink after the event, Ms. Anderson says.

Support for the 24/7 TRESemm experience at NYFW is provided by Amazon and The Trump SoHo New York.

There appear to be two dueling hashtags for New York Fashion Week on social media. In the fall of 2014, the first model with Down Syndrome walked at New York Fashion Week. The fashion show will be having 150 looks and styles on their 60 models. Maybe I’m just spoiled, but I didn’t love the idea of working at the shows.

Still, despite all this – or maybe because of it – I’ve got some anxiety about the coming days.

Also, be sure to tune in to Yahoo Style’s Coffee Break @ New York Fashion Week (9/11-9/16), where our fashion week correspondent, model Anna Speckhart, will be breaking down all the runway beauty trends. The New York Fashion Week official web site is also offering free live-streaming every show, starting with Nicholas K at 9 a.m. and Rebecca Vallance at 9:30 a.m. here.

“It turns out there are a lot of fashion designers who really care about this issue”, Thomas Estler, CEO of Freedom Ladder, told TODAY.com.

“It diverted from its origins as an event where designers showcase their wares to buyers from around the world …” he said. One of them was actually in, like, the floor of an office and it was like we all sat on hard-backed chairs in two facing rows.

“I was drawn to the culture and lifestyle of Morocco, particularly the annual traditional of Feast of the Throne celebration in Marrakesh, for which notables dress head to toe in beautifully draped linens”, Siriano said in his notes. Emerging and established designers from Pittsburgh and beyond the region have inquired and been considered for the 2015 lineup, and retail buyers have been invited to attend shows to scout new design talents to potentially carry in their stores. I was so nervous that someone would have replied to the listing before I did, but luckily, she emailed right back. Reportedly, Tisci is planning to open his doors to “1,200 non-industry, non-celebrity people” and has enlisted the godmother of performance art, Marina Abramovic, to art direct the show.
