New York Fashion Week

New York Fashion Week is the new Academy Awards.
With celebrities from all walks of life sitting next to one another on the catwalk’s front row, what was once about clothes is now about who’s who. For example, comedian Seth Myers sat to the right of Vogue’s editor-in-chief, Anna Wintour, at Kanye West’s section of the show this week. Other than West, what would bring the likes of the two together?
And you know it is more about who’s who than clothes when the Wall Street Journal actually covers the bi-annual event held every September and February. “The only toes Kanye stepped on were those of several designers whose shows had to move or be overlooked when Mr. West scheduled at the last moment earlier this week,” reported the famous financial periodical.
But before the journal covered the event, it was Big Apple papers like the New York Daily News that reported on the bi-annual event and actually wrote about fashion. Noting how high-end fashion designer Michael Kors hinted he would have an earthy glamour lineup, the paper followed with “In a funny juxtaposition, there were gorgeous colors of nature — rosy red, cornflower blue and fiery orange — worked onto basic black, camel and brown.
“The glamour came in the attitude and how the models were styled to look effortless. And no one does flowers better than Kors — embroidered onto clothes in complementary and contrasting colors, they were poetic,” added the Daily News. Now that is fashion reporting.
Also noting famous designers Naeem Khan and Delpozo, the paper continued descriptive reporting on old money designer J. Crew’s latest collection. “J.Crew’s return to what it knows best — preppy patterns — was exactly that. Oxford stripes, plaids, ginghams and chambrays were used in abundance — but in that charming J.Crew way, they were reimagined.”
But again, it is more about who is wearing the clothes, with the paper even falling prey to who was there. With pics of Olivia Wilde, Naomi Watts, Alec Baldwin, Jessica Alba, Amy Schumer, Laura Linney, Bella Thorne, Kate Upton (and the list goes on and on) it is apparent that being a celebrity and New York Fashion Week have everything to do with one another.  
Bringing it back to what really matters, Elle fashion magazine noted the prettiest dresses, but even that media outlet leads to suggested links that tell about who was at what show rather than reporting on garb looking good. It’s time’s like these that its ok to talk about Kylie Jenner at length, since she works as a high fashion model and it is New York Fashion Week, rather than reporting on her simply because she is Kim Kardashian-West’s half sister.
But to report on all the rest? That seems to be what it is has come to for the fashion show to get it’s 15 minutes of fame.
