Read more

It’s New York Fashion Week once again, and with all the shows and after parties, it’s pretty much impossible to keep the jam-packed schedules straight. While we don’t have any fashion forecasts for you (well, other than we hope you like the 70s because we saw a bit of that going around), we did round up what some of our favorites have been up to this week.

Here’s what has been going on in and around NYFW:

1

Dascha Polanco is working a short bob with bangs.

Dascha Polanco has been all around NYFW – Custo Barcelona, Jay Godfrey, Mara Hoffman, the Refinary29 #29rooms event, and Houghton. She continues to outdo herself, but she has kept her strawberry blonde bob along for the ride.

Karina Gamez shows us the other side.

Venezuelan designer Karina Gamez debuted at fashion week, with the likes of Jaimie Chung sitting front row. Her Instagram account gave us a behind-the-scenes look at her show.

Pamela Allier supports Gabriela Cadena.

Blogger and Harper’s Bazaar contributor Pamela Allier said Ecuadorian-born, Miami-bred designer Gabriela Cadena’s dress is “the perfect blue dress.” She’s also certain that Cadena is going to be the next big thing. Actress Michelle Rodriguez and writer Mirtha Michelle Castro MĂĄrmol were also in attendance at the show:

These four repped Central America.

María José Díaz Arévalo, Luisa Fernanda Mazariegos, Raquel Canas, and Norma Gómez Saavedra hung out in mostly white and red. Gómez is wearing a bag by a Guatemalan designer.

Luisa Fernanda Espinosa doesn't do waiting lists.

Luis Fernanda Espinosa – better known as mother of the most impeccably dressed 7 year-old mirrey and instagram star Alonso Mateo – was spotted wearing Gucci’s Horsebit slippers (there’s a waitlist for the shoes).

Joan Smalls only does things big.

Hood By Air had models walk in an unblended contour look:

So, basically what the Kardashians look like every day before they blend. HBA’s Shayne Oliver threw the after party with Venus X’s GHE20G0TH1K party (just like the good old days), which was randomly held in Times Square.
