We are counting down the days until the Mercedes-Benz New York Fashion Week Fall 2010 shows. The drama of the catwalk is something to behold. If you'll be in New York this week but don't have access to the fashion shows, now is your chance to get a birds-eye view of a spectacular runway event. Who knows, you may run into Anna herself or even spot your favorite celeb in the front row! Fashion For Relief is Naomi Campbell's spectacular charity fashion show. This year the event is back for 2010 and will be hosted by Sarah Ferguson, Duchess of York. The best part is that 100% of the proceeds from ticket sales will benefit CARE, a leading humanitarian organization. The runway show and auction will benefit CARE's aid in rebuilding Haiti's healthcare system for mothers and children.

There's nothing like a benefit fashion show to make you feel good for once about all the time and money you invest in your love of clothes! The Seam Collective, a NYC-based alliance dedicated to the advancement of female designers, sponsored the Spring/Summer 2010 Forte Charity Fashion Show, which took place last week, boasting Project Runway season 5 alum Kenley Collins as the headliner. 50% of ticket proceeds went to support Gilda's Club, a program that raises money for cancer patients and their families. Alongside Kenley, who presented a chic Amelia Earheart-inspired collection, emerging designers Sheila Frank, Elizabeth Rynish, and Marissa Erskine also presented their Ready To Wear lines to the event's eager turnout. We especially love Sheila Frank's button-up romper and Elizabeth Rynish's swirled paint patterns! Check out the slideshow for some pictures from the runway!
