Lessons at Fashion Week

February 17th, 2010

With each recurring Fashion Week, I come home with lessons learned and a greater appreciation for prevailing taste.  I’m heading back to L.A. this afternoon, but not without sharing my top five things I discovered while in New York.

1.  Anna Wintour’s hair really is as perfect as I had always imagined (I sat intimidatingly close to her at the Sophie Theallet show).

2. Pack extra Band-Aids when you plan on propping yourself up in 5″ heels for multiple hours at a time.

3. A clean and simple ponytail never goes out of style.

4.  Despite how late you stay out the night before, there’s nothing a couple slices of New York pizza can’t cure.

5. If the entire contents of your suitcase are splayed across your hotel room, don’t be ashamed to decline the maid service.

    Ha Anna’s hair…I just saw the documentary about her and the fashion week issue on my long flight back from Europe. It was very interesting.

    I love this post for so many reasons, not the least of which is that perfect shot of Anna’s perfect hair. I’d seen it quite a few times in the CN elevators over the years, but I imagine sitting behind her and her perfect bob would be that much more rewarding (because you could actually stare at it without looking like a level 5 stalker!)

    I envy your proximity to Ms. Wintour -she is one of my professional heroes! And, the band-aids, so true!
