The Cynthia Rowley fashion week show had a a bit of drama when a photographer jumped on the runway before the show to try to get a picture of Lindsay Lohan, who was sitting in the front row. The Lindsay Lohan Fashion Week appearance reportedly also caused quite a stir, something that I don’t quite understand. Celebrities are common at fashion week, and Lohan’s presence should not have been a huge shock. In any event, the photographer ended up with a confiscated camera and revoked credentials, and the room and Lindsay Lohan all reportedly applauded. And, by the way, it is possible to get photos without being improper. Here is Lindsay sitting in the front row at the Cythia Rowely show. I’m quite sure that this photographer did not jump on the catwalk to take the picture.

Also of interest in regard to Cynthia Rowley is the line of Band-Aids (yes Band Aids) that was pre-released as part of Fashion’s Night Out. I think designer Band-Aids are just plain silly, but I admit that I am also intrigued. I have been known to wear Hello Kitty Band-Aids, so why not step up to covering my ouchies with Cynthia Rowley? It certainly could be a step toward reforming my tacky ways.

As for the clothes at the Cynthia Rowley show, I would love to show them, but I don’t have access to any licensed images at the moment, so you get celebrity gossip and Band-Aids instead! I’ll have real fashion photos when I get some.

The Kardashian Sisters Take on Fashion Week with a New Klothing Kollection It’s fashion week in New York City and everyone,including the Kardashian sisters, are here to show off their collections, lines and creations. In addition to retail stores, perfume lines, books and multiple reality shows, the Kardashians have added yet another milestone to their list of endless accomplishments with the newly launched Kardashian Kollection for Sears.

Kourtney, Kim and Khloe Kardashian’s collection offers an array of fashion from footwear to eyewear that is available now just in time for fall. Great looks for less is something that these ladies know their fans want and that’s exactly what they’re giving them.

This collection of clothing and accessories are definitely all stamped with the monogram initial “K” of approval. Kim, Khloe and Kourtney were involved in every step of creating this original line – from the zippers to the buttons to the fabric prints these fashion icons have solidified their true reflection in every element of design.

Having their own clothing line has been a dream of these reality royalty siblings since day one. In the Kardashian Kollection everything is stretchy and comfy, not to mention itch-proof, thanks to Kourtney. Kourtney performs an itch test for nearly all the pieces included in the line.

It’s easy to see that the shoes, clothes, jewelry and belts are embrace the style and sophistication of the three sisters’ personalities. Kim exudes an amorous and sexy vibe. Kourt calls herself more BoHo chic. While Khloe is classic, or klassic, with an edge and a very strong affinity for leopard prints.

With their three distinct and unique body types – tall, curvy, petite – the clothes, dress and pants were designed with all of these attributes in mind, resulting in comfortable and stylish clothing for women of many shapes and sizes.

In addition to this new line with Sears, it was a year ago this week that they launched a line with QVC called the K-Dash by Kardashian collection. The collection debuted as part of QVC‘s Fashion’s Night Out 2010 live from Rockefeller Center.

It seems weddings, reality shows and family vacations can’t slow these girls down. Makes a fashionista wonder where 2012′s Kardashian clothing line will land.

About New York Fashion Week

Many models and designers live for Fashion Week, as being there shows that they have the best of the latest fashions soon to hit the market. New York Fashion Week which, as is obvious by the name takes place in New York twice each year—once in February to showcase fall fashions for later that year, and agian in September to showcase items for spring of the following year.

A Brief History of New York Fashion Week

Fashion Week was once known as Press Week. Everyone around the fashion world knew about the event. The first fashion week took place in 1943. World War II was in full swing and France was previously where people looked to for designs. However, due to the war, Paris became unavailable as a travel option for fashion industry insiders. As a result Eleanor Lambert, a fashion publicist, formed Press Week to showcase the work of American designers for journalists in the fashion industry.

Press Week was as a success, resulting in an increased focus by magazines American design. Therefore, in 1994 the event was moved to tents in Bryant Park. Attendance was limited to invitation only, and the event gained an air of prestige with many from the fashion industry, the press, celebrities, and more in attendance.

By 2009, some designers were opting out for smaller and more affordable shows where they didn’t have to pay as much due to the downturn of the economy. Technology allowed designers other outlets for showcasing their works. There were many who were only selling online as of 2009. Also, some designers found that they had to think outside the box in order to get a tent. Fashion week was expensive, and designers were struggling. So, they worked around obstacles and saved some money. Thus, in 2010, fashion week moved away from Bryant Park and is now hosted in Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts.

The September 2011 New York Fashion week kicks off on September 8. Watch for continuing coverage of the events here on Beauty and Fashion Tech and on Glam Media at the Fashion Week Insider section.
