While Marc Jacobs has already postponed his show due to the weather, or rather, a weather-delayed shipment of fabrics and shoes... Fashion Week is still in full swing, as planned.
A Fashion Week spokesman says planners are prepared for the blizzard, and organizers have “additional crews to help with snow, ice and salt maintenance, increased interior heating, and a precautionary extra layer of tenting for the protection of the venue." But what about protecting the unique little snowflakes attending the shows?
Photographer Katie Sokoler dropped by the tents yesterday during the calm before the storm, and while a few attendees were spotted in bare legs and sans jackets, most were donning their most tent-worthy outerwear. Click through for a look at the blacks, blues, taupes, metallics, furs, and animal prints... though sadly, no one was spotted taking cues from the city's bank robbers, as there was not a bucket hat in sight.
