  Ask any editor, buyer or stylist what their favorite part of Fashion Week is and more than likely they’ll say the after-parties. The see-and-be-seen fetes that happen after the lights go down in the city and the catwalks close for the day.  The designer hosted, socialite attended, Page Six discussed parties that we love to attend year after year.  […]

We’re all in need of a refresh, the […]
