If you haven't noticed yet, Fashion Week kicked off in New York on Friday. Yesterday the Humane Society teamed up with Charlotte Ronson for the fur-free designer's first Bryant Park showing. Before the first look came down the runway, however, her sister Samantha stole the show with her favorite accessory by her side: Lindsay Lohan. The paparazzi, crazed interns and everyone with a camera swarmed and nearly turned the duo into runway roadkill.
As for the show itself, Ms. Ronson told The Daily that her Spring '09 collection is inspired by "Music, concerts, I was discovering my style in fashion growing up in the 80s and early 90s. It's about going to your favorite shows, and what you would wear." Lohan wore a dress from the collection, and the show was a family affair, with Charlotte's model half-sister Annabelle Dexter-Jones showing off some looks, and Mark Ronson providing the soundtrack.
