New York Fashion Week Fills The Shows' Front Rows With Plenty Of Famous Faces!

Among the fashion elite who are actually granted access to the highly-exclusive Bryant Park tents are some of Hollywood's most noted celebrities -- after all, what kind of star would you be if you weren't dressed by the best of the best in designer royalty? Some famous fashionistas like Kellie Pickler and Jessica Stroup couldn't stay away from the glamour of the runway and were spotted warming up the front row seats of several designers' shows, including Badgley Mischka, Pamella Roland, and Lela Rose; meanwhile, other more low-key VIPs saved their appearances for just their favorite style mavens, like Mickey Rourke for Domenico Vacca. While New York Fashion Week is ultimately about the clothing, many stylish starlets' presences in the front row are inevitably photographed even more frequently than the designer threads themselves (oh, the price of fame), but most celeb attendees made sure they shared the spotlight and showed their support by arriving in their favorite pieces from the headlining label, like Brittany Snow in her gorgeous beaded Diane von Furstenberg dress. I know being famous must be exhausting, but I really can't think of anything I wouldn't give to switch places with one of those front-row ticket holders just for a day (preferably Herve Leger day, please), even if I had to be Paris Hilton. Check out the slideshow for more pictures of stylish superstars, both in the audience and backstage at some of New York Fashion Week's hottest shows!

New York Fashion Week Runway: Calvin Klein Stays Straightforward And Simple

Without a doubt, the Calvin Klein label is well-known for its minimalism. So when I saw the first couple of looks in Calvin Klein's menswear collection for Fall 2009, I wasn't that impressed. Sure, I love these streamlined, no-frill suits, but I wasn't at the edge of my seat. In fact, I was nodding off. Right when I was about to let out a yawn from my drooling sleep, a handsome blue suit made an appearance on the runway. This caught my attention. The suit itself is signature Calvin Klein, but the color made it interesting and tickled my inner Don Draper. From there, the show started to hit its stride. Sporty space-age jackets and pristine lines on pants, shirts and coats weren't groundbreaking, but they were clean and refreshing. The shimmery garments (which included a suit and a couple of tops) added a small wave of change in the sea of simplicity. The basic hue of the collection was like eating a palate-cleansing sorbet. It was refreshing, unsoiled and straightforward. At first, I may have been ready to take a cat nap, but as the collection unfolded, I started to pay attention €“ and there's nothing wrong with going the simple route every once in a while.
