Multiple fashion shows a day, long waiting lines, backstage interviews, antsy PR reps, crowded schedules and tight deadlines; these are all the challenges that confront fashion editors during New York Fashion Week (NYFW). The harried schedule, lack of down time and constant adrenaline rushes can leave editors undernourished, fatigued, and not looking their Fashion Week best. It is quite difficult to stay bright eyed and bushy tailed when your schedule is jammed pack with five to seven shows a day.
True to form, Fashion Reverie has compiled some great editor’s essentials that can you get through your busiest Fashion Week. And many of these essentials are inexpensive and fit into your man bag or purse.
