In case you were wondering what fashion week is and why it is made to be so important, I think that The New York Times explained it perfectly in this recent article [HERE].
For me, fashion week does not just showcase new styles solely based on what is going down the runways. There are so many upcoming designers trying to become known and experienced designers reinventing themselves that the possibilities are endless. Nothing through this short span of time goes unnoticed and anything can spark a trend for the upcoming season.
Of course, the clothes on the runway are the main event, but there is so much more! Backstage, before the show is where some other magic happens, hair and makeup. Hair and makeup really complete a look and even if it's a low messy bun (shown below two shots from Bottega Veneta 2015) or a classic red lip (on model Frida Gustavsson), it brings a look for the show together.
And with all this magic that happens, there's magic in the creation of the runway. Some are extravagant locations or set-ups (below, a runway from Kenzo in 2008) or just a simple white runway, but they all seem to have a sense of art within themselves.

As breathtaking as a runway show is, it is not the only place someone can find inspiration during this hectic week. I love seeing a model post-runway show and look amazing. The 'model-off-duty' look is one of my favorites. They always have such an effortless look, even if they still have their extravagant eye makeup on off the runway.
And of course, you cannot forget about celebrities!
There is no way you can be poorly dressed while sitting front row at New York Fashion Week, so dressing anything besides your best is not even an option.
