I love these front-row-at-fash-show pictures. You can't watch a catwalk and pose for photos, so you get brilliant off-guard moments.
Is Chloe grappling with a spot of trapped wind? What is Milla finding so darn hilarious? Has Ashley really got exciting flashing eyes à la The Terminator?
Hours of fun.
And what can we learn from the style choices of these four fashion mavens? Let's look at the evidence.
Anne Hathaway knows you can't go wrong with a bit of Audrey Hepburn-esque understated elegance. Chloe Sevigny... well, we've discussed her outfit already. Ashley Olsen is still digging black on black. And Milla has a ladder in her tights.
Priceless.

A little over-dressed, Heidi...?
No dahling, she’s off to yet another Fashion Show in New York. Don’t you know that’s how the fashionistas dress nowadays?
Is it just me or does Heidi Klum bare a striking resemblance to Kate Moss in this pic?
Still, I have to admit I love what she’s wearing. Those plastic paint-on leggings with that all-over sequin top sound horrible on paper, but on Heidi they look fab.
I somehow suspect we’ll be leaving this look up to the fashionistas though. It doesn't strike me as one us mere civilians can pull off without a large amount of pointing and laughing to endure!

I have to admit I was a little disappointed with the celebrity turn out over the weekend here at Fashion Week.
It’s not that they weren’t flocking to the front row. The celebrity aspect of the week was clear from the get-go. On Sunday you could watch the packs of photographers move around the tents in search of the biggest names.
But those big names just weren’t there. In fact many a forgotten celeb popped up. Does anyone remember Amy Smart? Piper Perabo, of Coyote Ugly fame, and Sophia Bush, of One Tree Hill were there too.
Mandy Moore made a welcome appearance in my books though. She’s just so lovely she should really sit front row more often. But Kirsten Dunst didn’t even show up at the Lutz & Patmos presentation where she had designed a couple of the looks. And as breath-taking as Jonathan Saunders’ first stateside showing was, it was really only for the fashion set.
Thankfully though, it looks as though celebrities like the work week. Monday brought out Fergie, Rihanna and Hilary Swank. Whew… that was a close one.
I happened to bump into this lovely girl standing outside the tents with my camera at the ready. How chic and easy is this outfit? The great big grey bag, the sleek black ankle boots, and a hint of blue peeking out at the sleeves made this look a winner. Click here to get it for yourself. Besides, what happens outside of the tents is frankly just as important as what happens inside.
But, speaking of inside the tents… I wanted to give you a heads up on what to expect for Fall trend-wise. Yes, I did go to a few shows and look at the clothes not just the front row. So... the trend round-up so far:
Still Going Strong
Spring/Summer trends that last:
- sheer
- neutrals
- prints
- wide leg trousers
Blast From the Past
So last year? Maybe not:
- Thigh high socks. Yep that’s right, they’re back.
- Leggings worn as trousers. Maybe Li Lo is actually on to something?
- The Forties. We still want to look like Katherine Hepburn.
- Tartan. A Fall favourite.
So what’s actually new this season? The biggest one so far is all-American sportswear. And it’s all about shapes and proportions. Say goodbye to trapeze jackets and hello to skinny belts on structured coats with lots of detail. And blue. All shades of the colour were appearing.
So it looks like what happens outside, à la our stylish street walker, really does matter.

I can almost allow Nicky to get away with wearing last season’s clothes to New York Fashion Week - simply because she looks so darn good in them.
Those leather-look black leggings and multi-buckle Mary Janes look fabulous on her. There aren't many people on this planet that can pull those leggings off (that’s assuming you managed to pull them on in the first place).
She teamed the leggings in question with a black tux jacket and a pretty black top with white lace detail and a matching handbag completing the black ensemble.
She's definitely our favourite celeb at the event so far - but then it's only Day 3. Who knows what stops those cunning celebs will pull out next? Make sure you log in tomorrow to find out - and check out our behind-the-scenes gossip from the opening days in Manhattan, with real NY street style!

When OSOYOU.com member MapleStyle told us she'd be out in Manhattan for New York Fashion Week, we just had to get all the behind-the-scenes gossip for our favourite OSO Blog readers - enjoy!
'Hey guys! No, I'm not reporting from the Swiss Alps, just a freezing cold little island called Manhattan. But what’s warming the hearts of the style-obsessed? It’s Fashion Week, people!
And there is just too much to tell so far for one itty bitty blog post, so let’s get straight to the good stuff.
Highlights:
- Kicking off the week with a handful of parties that garnered a line up of celebrities like Ashley Olsen, Anne Hathaway, Isabella Rossellini, Rachel Zoe… to name a few.
- High fashion going green. Future Fashion showed eco-friendly outfits by designers from Burberry to YSL, worn by top models like Irina Lazareanu and Shalom Harlow. The results? Phenomenal. Sustainable fashion has officially hit an all-time high.
- A vintage Halston-clad Liza Minelli singing New York, New York at the Heart Truth Red Dress show where celebrities like Joss Stone (check out her stunning dress here) and Heidi Klum took to the catwalk.
- Sass & Bide’s jubilant and colourful take on Autumn with rainbows of sequins on relaxed tunics, soft, flowing outerwear and black ruched leggings as applauded by Nicky Hilton (check out what she was wearing here).
- The drama swirling about Marc Jacobs' show. The designer threatened to pull it from the New York schedule, but the lastest we heard is that it's back on and that his Marc by Marc show may include a live band.
And outside all the festivities, New York trendsetters do their best to work it on the streets. I found today’s stylish streetwalker relaxing in the blistering cold outside the tents between shows. While I was doing my best Rudolph impression with a case of the sniffles, here she was looking fabulous in an almost patent puffer and a chic pair of shades.
Well, I’m determined to learn a lesson here in dressing to battle the elements in style. And you fair OSO Blog readers can join me by clicking here to get the look.
Stay tuned for more as I continue to report on New York Fashion Week… Just a couple hints on today’s upcoming goss? Homegrown boy Jonathan Saunder’s stateside debut and Kirsten Dunst’s shot at knitwear with Lutz & Patmos. Oh, it’s just too good!'

See what you can achieve if you get rid of all that hippie nonsense and brush your hair (© a Mum, yesterday)?
Yes, this really is Joss Stone, on the catwalk at the Heart Truth Red Dress Collection fashion show during New York Fashion Week.
She looks beautiful, doesn't she?
I know. I can't believe it either.
