All of the Highlights From NYFW You’ll Want To Know About (Besides Strippers at Alexander Wang)

Karlie Kloss’ darling Barbie-looking wrap dress at DVF.

The model who tripped at Givenchy, and the two darling gentlemen that immediately helped her up….which made me notice all of the models shoes looked like they were untied…

The plethora of other Barbie-worthy dresses at Carolina Herrera.

The cringe-worthy idea that models should take selfie-sticks on the same runway…

The Always Gorgeous, Fairytale-kinda Beauty, Marchesa show.

The rainbow eyelids at Betsey Johnson.

That Dress at Givenchy. Yes, please.

At first I thought this dress was the dress to make all other black fur dresses obsolete….

But then I saw this one, and it made me question everything…. Sigh (#whitegirlproblems).

The gorgeous braids at Herve Leger.

The Awkward Nipple Dress at Idan Cohen.

And That Gorgeous Yellow & Pink Crop Top & Trousers Ensemble at Idan Cohen.

Marc Jacobs’ Indescribable Super-Hollywood Show at the Zeigfeld Theatre. Hence, the following video:

Shiny, Pretty Things! at Tory Burch.
