6 Resources For The Best Mercedes Fashion Week Coverage 2009

Before I even start, can we all just take a moment to observe the beauty that is Carolina Herrera’s strapless dress and cape? I don’t have anywhere to wear such a cape. But I love it more than anything else at this very moment and simply want to craft my life in a way that makes decadent capes a necessity and any other way of living complete and utter ridiculous nonsense.

Anyway…

You might be wondering how to keep up with all the fabulous style moments you’re missing by not being in New York among the fashion elite. You could wait for next month’s fashion magazines to hit the stand, but where would be the fun in that?

Here are my top eight online resources for fashion week recaps, mishaps and up to the minute information:

Fashion Week Daily
Video, soundbytes, photos and more. This is a a fantastic resource for quickly catching up on the latest news before your boss notices you aren’t hard at work on that report due this afternoon.

Youtube
More videos! So many videos! You will almost feel like it’s you there holding up your Flip Mino camcorder to capture every moment dripping with style.

Hot Mama Daily
My Splendicity colleague, Tracy Hopkins, is making me all jealous by snapping “I’m right here!” pics and recapping her front row coverage. I’m considering just showing up on her doorstep next year for fashion week and pretending we discussed it, no big deal…(”What..you don’t remember? You said it was okay…”)

Just Jared
If you’re more interested in the celebrities buzzing around New York than the actual runway action, Just Jared is on the scene. Nary a catwalk in sight, this is all about the paparazzi shots and who in Hollywood dared to make the trek to New York in…brrrrrr…winter.

Fashion Week News
Fashion week coverage from around the world – this is their topic, all year round, always. Makes sense that it should be a top destination for soaking up all the details you missed by not being there.

All About The Pretty
Beautimous indeed! Backstage videos, realistic synopses – this is the kind of coverage that would never be used in a mainstream publication, but is the reason why fashionable girls all around are oh so grateful for the internet.
