HEAD’S UP: It's Fashion Week, baby! Who's ready? We're ready! And we have a slight tweak to share. Of course, we still endeavor to provide a roundup of the best, worst and most interesting Yours Truly&Co. witnesses, from trends to sightings to the rather unusual/bizarre. The tweak has been inspired by Twitter. The coverage will focus, as has become the custom, on what truly inspires or what is so painfully hideous that it is remarkable. However, we will tell that story in 50 words or less. Yes, 50. Or less. Ready? Let the games begin ...
Day 3

IT was a decent day in the boxes. Outside the boxes, too, on catwalks, in studios, showrooms and on runways, (including Christian Siriano in video at top).

IT really does not have any continuity but is an unusual diversity of clothing. Everything from evening dresses to casual wear. Great hair and makeup in various styles. A mish mash. - NEIL WOLFSON

LAST spring, the inspiration was the mermaid. This year, the designer is still on the water. Possibly caught up a riptide, for much has a tattered appearance manifested in layering and folds. A competent effort, if overmuch on occasion. - YOURS TRULY
Herve Leger by Max Azria

A sort of bondage and discipline aspect. The leather woke this reporter up - the promise of bondage and discipline. Overall, solid but not exciting. - NEIL WOLFSON

SHEER elegance promised. Sheer elegance delivered. Serenity joins elegance in the after-5 / evening wear motif. Behold, the work of a professional who takes care of business season in and season out. Notables: bright colors (poppy, pink, orange) and Chantilly lace. - YOURS TRULY

NATIVISTIC evangelism continues with colors that ascend to the highest octaves. Tie dye joins the cacophony and makes sweet harmonies with all range of frock, including swimsuits. - YOURS TRULY

Dazzling diaphanous gownage with a punk rock soundtrack. Glittering jewels for a Debbie Harry. Total fun. Keep it up, Kati Stern. We love you. - NEIL WOLFSON
