The subject of stars at new York fashion Week is a bit bit odd. most of them are paid to be there by a designer whose show they’re going to or a brand or product that they represent, which means that many of them are using as well as bring clothes from that designer in what can be a relatively transparent advertising scheme. The whole point of a fashion show is advertising the new collection, though, so I can’t gripe as well much. as well as no matter exactly how a bag got into a celebrity’s hands, I always enjoy seeing what they carry.

And then there’s the models. They’re likewise paid to show up, of course, however they’re generally not bedecked in the duds of any type of specific designer. Instead, they’re bring something that, more commonly than not, completely punctuates their “model off duty” look as well as makes us all question why we can’t figure out exactly how to gown like that in our downtime. (Because we’re not models, probably.) It’s an fascinating contrast, as well as one that we’ll check out completely in the slideshow below.
