and got to hang out during the Vivienne Tam, Milly by Michelle Smith, J. Mendel, Carlos Miele, Carolina Herrera, Zang Toi and Nicole Miller. I did actually get to see the Clover Canyon Presentation on the last night, right before it closed down. All other shows I got to watch live stream from the lobby if I wasn't checking in other about-to-happen shows.
Various interesting people sighted:
Nicki Hilton at two different shows, Maya, all of the Fashion Police folks including Joan Rivers, Melissa Rivers, Kelly Osbourne, Kimora Lee Simmons, Whitney (the designer from The City) and a slew of my favorite bloggers Keiko Lynn, Leandra Medine (aka the Man Repeller), and Claire Geist (who is, by the way, the sweetest thing. I might have fan geeked out a little when the other scanner with me was letting her in, and she acknowledged me without having the slightest clue who I was and that really stuck with me). There was also a handful of people I recognized but couldn't put names to (the usual).
People we stopped and shouldn't have:
I did in fact stop Kelly Cutrone, yes THE Kelly Cutrone. Woops. She wasn't wearing her pass, and I was just doing my job without quite realizing I should have committed more reality tv to memory beforehand. ... and Nina Garcia, although to be fair, as soon as two of us and the security guard realized she was being stopped, we stepped in immediately!
At one point, the kiosks for self check in went down. That was 0 fun at all.
However I loved the Fashion GPS system used to ticket people, it was efficient and quick and relatively simple to use. I had someone explain all the different ways it was used in the industry and it sort of amazed me. Who would have thought GPS systems could catalog so well? Mine barely gets me to White Plains without getting me lost.
Finally: I wore this
Sock bun (first attempt wasn't too bad, and worked out most days)
Urban Outfitters dress, Betsey Johnson blazer, and Forever 21 flats that you can't see...
