New York Fashion Week: The Designers, the Models, the Fashions of the Bryant Park Era If you're working or hanging out in downtown Manhattan next month, you'll probably notice the streets suddenly flush with well-dressed fashion lovers. New York Fashion Week is on its way, bringing style's elite along with it. Here's what you'll need to know about fashion lovers' favorite time of the year.  When is New York Fashion Week? NYFW kicks off Friday, Sept. 6, and runs through Wednesday, Sept. 11. If that seems shorter than usual, that's because it is. Events in previous years ran Thursday to Thursday, with unofficial events scattered on Wednesday and Friday. The Council of Fashion Designers of America (CFDA) shortened NYFW to seven days (instead of nine) for the first time this year.

I have, at various times in my life, found myself understocked on well-fitting bras in acceptable condition. You know those moments — digging through your drawer to pull out the same beat-up, pilling, warped-underwire bra that’s a size or two off, and then avoiding certain tops and dresses because it shows through clothes awkwardly.
