Designers Share Their First Fashion Week Experiences

What was your first experience at Fashion Week like?

"My first show was below Canal Street on the west side, part in a parking garage and part on the street. The date was Sept. 8, 2001, three days before 9/11. The collection was all men's and the models were all friends or friends of friends."




What is your most memorable Fashion Week moment?
"Probably that one, as it was my first."




How do you plan to recover from Fashion Week?
"Hopefully in a bed with a healthy baby girl in my arms! I'll be at full term on my show date. Yikes!"
