Fashion designers, retailers, editors and stylists settled into their routines Thursday for eight days of previews at New York Fashion Week with barely a blink at all the photographers’ flashes: a sign of business-as-usual.

New York Fashion Week is not as exciting or as creative as Paris or Milan but you can expect to see the best that these 8 days have to offer exclusively here on HFL. The Good news is that the luxury market that most of the runway shows speak to has, over the past year, steadily recovered at the retail level despite the volatile economy.

The clothes to hit the catwalk in the early going showed a continued confidence in the colorblocking, tailoring and easy, elongated shapes that have been trickling into stores and will arrive in force come spring.

YES! Dozens of shows are planned at the Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week tents that serve as the hub, with another 12, including Skaist-Taylor and Tory Burch, presenting their shows elsewhere on the Lincoln Center campus.

So sit back and enjoy while will bring you our editors’ picks of the most inspirational shows and all the drama that goes on behind the scenes and in the FRONT ROW!  

Big names such as Marc Jacobs, Ralph Lauren and Calvin Klein, who all show later in the week, will draw the crowd to off-site places and likely enforce an exclusive guest list…oh the DRAMA!
