New York fashion week’s runway shows, presentations, endless parties, modeling moments, gossip galore, and beyond can be a lot to take in. And sometimes the best tidbits get lost in the fray. But nothing escapes the Style.com team’s sharp eyes (or ears, for that matter). So every day, we’ll be revealing the best five things we saw, heard, and learned at fashion week.
