Unfortunately, I was so immersed in the fashion Week bubble for weeks beforehand that I had absolutely no idea a hurricane/tropical storm/torrential rainstorm was approaching. After running into a multi-season friend who informed me she was sure to be out of the tents by 2pm that day because she's supposedly seen the roof ripped right off.
While it must have been nice to skip out before the storm hit, some of us *cough* had to stay and work. As the afternoon wore on and the rain came pouring down, everyone's energy began to drain. Offsite shows had to be a mess, because everyone who was in the tents stayed in the tents.
Although when 8pm rolled around there was NOTHING that was going to stop me from making my way to the Patricia Field: Destination Style show. Huddled under an umbrella, carrying my two Kipling bags and wearing my Kathryn Kerrigan booties I made my way the 7 blocks to the Edison Ballroom.
The show was fantastic - one big celebration. At the end of the show, the models danced on the runway. It was the perfect ending to a rather dreary day. Great news though - even though I was completely soaked through and through from the tropical storm, my belongings were 100% dry, safely protected by my Kipling bags. Not to mention I had made it all day in the Kathryn Kerrigan booties. Fashion & comfort? No way!
