Day 1 Roundup: Stars, stripes and pink eye?
Editors, celebrities, socialites and fashionistas braved the wet winter weather in the Big Apple all in the name of fabulous frocks for the kickoff of Fashion Week.It's all about being fashionably late this week, but here’s a handy dandy calendar of the shows. Designers have spent months, and many sleepless nights, bracing for the storm that is Fashion Week. Up-and-coming designer Chris Benz kept a diary leading up to the big show so that those outside the industry can get a feel for all that goes into this week. Speaking of behind-the-scenes, everyone knows the clothes are the main attraction in the tents, but every year, there are always a few models whose runway sashays steal the show. Check out the ones to watch here. Wonder if any of New York Magazine’s Top Ten are the same models who just came back from Brazil with pink eye? The day, and week, started off at the tents with Nautica’s menswear collection. Models showed off looks running the primary color gamut with hooded cable knits, sharp blazers and lots of stripes. In the front-row: Sex and the City's Mr. Big himself, Chris Noth. While not every designer can host their show at a swank eatery like Vera Wang did at Bobo yesterday (even serving up delish bites to attendees), the buzz surrounding the fall collections seems so sweet you can taste it. FashionWeekDaily.com called Rachel Roy's fall collection a Southwestern delight and compared Elie Tahari’s collection to 'a fuzzy champagne cocktail-cosmopolitan, urban, luxe.” Lacoste may be celebrating its 75th anniversary in this year, but don’t expect a big celebration at their show -- or A-listers. Apparently the team behind that ubiquitous little gator are declaring celebrities so last season. Lacoste designer Christophe Lemaire told Women’s Wear Daily: "We don't really care about personalities ... We feel it's a stupid game to play. There are so many famous people wearing Lacoste anyway, we don't need to pretend or show off." Stay tuned (and cross your fingers the forecast presents a sunnier disposition – at least for the sake of all those Choos and Manolos running around NYC) as Fashion Week continues through next Friday. --Rebecca HeslinPhoto by Rob Loud/Getty Images for IMG

Employers cut payrolls for first time since summer '03
In a shower of pink slips, US employers cut jobs last month for the first time in more than four years, the starkest signal yet that the economy is grinding to a halt if it hasn't already toppled into recession.
Seeing more 'Red'
More tidbits from the Heart Truth Red Dress collection show that kicked off Fashion Week:-Juno star Allison Janney wore a sheer Donna Karan halter dress that was gathered at the waist. 'It’s so great to get to play two different roles and have them be so well-received. It’s been a blast,” she said before the show. Janney added that Donna Karan is one of her favorite designers. 'She designs well for a woman like me, tall with curves. The material she chooses drapes well and I just think she’s so talented.”-A pregnant Mary Lynn Rajskub glided down the runway in a strapless Monique Lhuillier gown. The ankle-length dress had an empire waist and a sweetheart neckline. 'I like the strapless, flowing quality. It’s very simple, and I love that,” said the 24 star.Expecting her first child at the end of the summer, Rajskub said her shape is rapidly changing. 'This was my first event where I tried on some pants and I was like, ‘I can’t zip them up.’ I definitely can’t hide it any longer," she said.-Grey’s Anatomy’s Sara Ramirez wore a structured Angel Sanchez gown with a pleated train. On the red carpet, she said she keeps her heart healthy by exercising and sticking to a strict nutrition regime. 'And I do events like this. I know I’ve got ... big lashes and tons of jewelry on and this great dress, but it’s really about what’s on the inside.” The actress, who has been living in New York since last month, is eagerly awaiting the end of the writers’ strike. 'I just saw some of my co-workers from the show at the [Screen Actor’s Guild] Awards and it really made me miss everybody a lot,” Ramirez said. 'I’m just looking forward to seeing everybody again.”-Singer Joss Stone, in Max Axria Atelier, walked gracefully in a floor-length dress. Though no one could tell, the British singer and songwriter went barefoot. 'I just don’t want to fall over, so I’m not wearing shoes,” she said. 'It’s all about the dress. We don’t need shoes.”-Rita Moreno wore a Lily Samii gown. 'I think a lot of people are going to know about [Lily Samii] after this show,” Moreno said on the red carpet. 'The pink with the red was my idea. I said, ‘Let’s go West Side Story on this.’” --Venuri Siriwardane Photo by Stan Honda, Getty ImagesMore news about 'Pink' in News:
