“As a woman who suffered many medical complications from years of struggling with an eating disorder, I never knew if I would be able to have children or not, so to be able to glamorous women celebrate my body while pregnant with my first child was really incredible.”
Mercedes Benz Fashion Week in NY was sooooo incredibly exciting! It seemed like everyone in the world was there! We went to preview the fitness model Pamella Roland show but we also got an invitation from Alex McCord, a Real Housewife of New York, to attend Walter Baker's show at Style 360. He is a dear friend of hers and we were in the front row with lots of paparazzi!It was a blast! Even Chuck had a great time! His photo gallery fashions were chic, youthful and oh-so stylish! The first model on the runway was Somalian supermodel Ubah Hassan. She also appeared in the Oscar de la Renta show and was featured in the first all-black issue of Italian Vogue shot by Steven Meisel.
She was one of the best looking (and sweetest) photo gallery models we saw all week! From the Walter Baker show, we went to Bryant Park to wait for the Pamella Roland show to begin at 1 PM. While we waited, we saw Carine Roitfeld (Editor-in-Chief of French Vogue) and Ken Downing (Fashion Director of Neiman Marcus) along with LOTS of very well-dressed fashionistas and zillions of photogs rushing through the tents. These shows are everything you've heard about and more and I was so thrilled to be there!As we lined up for Abbey Lee Kershaw show, there were throngs of people going to the line marked "Standing Room Only." We felt very grateful to have our tickets in hand. We had to wait while the photographers all got their pre-event photos and then we were allowed in. I've never seen so much press in my life! It was surreal.....Everywhere you looked, there was a celebrity! Lisa Rinna was there in a hot, short red dress with a great haircut.
Nicky Hilton was there but didn't want to sit next to Abbey Lee Kershaw who wasn't famous so there was a bit of juggling in the front row until Abby Manning (Eli Manning's wife) agreed to sit next to her. Nigel Barker, famous photographer on America's Next Top Model, was there looking very handsome and very TALL! We also saw J.
