I know this blog is supposed to be about hiatus and the emotions behind shopping. And I should get back to checking in on "how I'm feeling" about my self-imposed inability to go out and pick up something new to wear. (Especially since I carefully avoid this subject with my therapist for fear of calculating how much haute couture I could buy if I stopped going to my therapy sessions).
But the New York Fashion Week shows are so tempting! And all the stars that come out for them! Even Charlize Theron, who seems more down-to-earth than this, is not above attending these shows. My research indicates that she has been in NYC this week for a Fashion Rocks benefit and at least attended the Rag & Bones show.
What is it about Hollywood stars that make them instant fashionistas and fashion icons? Why do they come to the shows when all they wear is stuff that is given to them, either on set, at a photo shoot or when designers give them free stuff to wear as walking advertisements? Do they take notes at these shows ("must ask Betsey how to tie a corset")? Schmooze designers for more free stuff ("if nominated, Ralph; if presenting, Calvin")? Show up for the publicity?
More importantly, how do I get a piece of this action?
