^ Yay! Another fan
. And I too would kill for her couture collection
.
She was asked to keep a diary to report on her experience of Fashion Week last year by The Cut, which is NY magazine's fashion blog. This is her entry from February 2...

9:30 a.m. I arrived in my office.
10 a.m. I met with an editor from a Japanese magazine called Glamorous. She wanted to shoot me during Fashion Week, so we agreed to have the camera crew come to a fitting at J. Mendel on Tuesday and also to shoot me at home on Thursday morning.
Noon I ran downtown to the Yigal show. I wore the cute white dress and jacket that we picked out on Thursday, and it was soooo cold! Why would I rather look good than be warm? I got to the show and sat next to Meredith Melling Burke from Vogue and Bergdorf's Roopal Patel, who both have back-to-back shows because of their jobs. I don't envy them. I mean I love fashion, but it's really exhausting to run around like that!!!
1:30 p.m. I went back to my office, changed into my BCBG outfit and by 3 p.m. was back in the tents for the BCBG show. When I walked in, I was stopped for photos so I took a few, and then a few more, and as I walked away, I realized the tag was hanging off the BCBG jacket I was wearing! I was a little embarrassed, but it was a busy jacket so maybe it just blended in?
The show was energetic and uplifting; the clothes were fun and flirty. Afterwards, Derek Blasberg and I went backstage and then off to the W lounge where we swapped schedules and gossiped.
5 p.m. We were still at the W lounge and I had a meeting with Jeremy Kost (such a cutie) and three people from Japanese Vogue (not to be confused with Glamorous !) who also want a Fashion Week party story and they want Jeremy to shoot it, so we coordinated our events. At this point I felt like I should at least speak some Japanese!
6:15 p.m. I went home to change and then went with my mother to the debut collection of Vionnet at Barneys. I didn't get to see the clothes because we went straight to La Grenouille for the drinks before the dinner, but I did run into Amanda Brooks who was wearing a beautiful Sophia Kokosalaki–designed Vionnet dress — it was powder pink with the most delicate rosettes twirled in bunches. I also ran into Victoria Traina, who was wearing the most amazing Proenza dress ever! (I must admit at that point I did feel a tad underdressed in my black jeans and vintage YSL jacket.)
9 p.m. I met a group of friends and my boyfriend at Craftsteak. I had a wonderful meal, an amazing time with my friends. That restaurant is great!!
Midnight I decided to go home to bed while they all continued the night at the Gramercy.
