PAPERMAG: How Is the Fashion Crowd Celebrating Valentine's Day?

Though there might be plenty of fashion folks who can think of nothing better than celebrating Valentine's Day with (or without) that special someone at a fashion show, we wondered whether anyone in the biz was bummed that New York Fashion Week coincided with the Holiday of Love this year. Amid Fashion Week craziness, PAPERMAG asked some of our favorite fashionistas and fashionistos what their plans were and what comes first: love or fashion?

"I'm excited about Valentine's Day because it's actually when I first met my boyfriend last year, so it's our first one-year anniversary. I think we're just going to be mellow, but we're taking a belated Valentine's Day/Anniversary trip to Hawaii in a few days."

Brad Goreski, Stylist (Boyfriend: Gary Janetti)

"We will do Valentine's Day but on opposite coasts. We've also been together for ten and a half years now so every day is Valentine's Day for us. I'll send him a little surprise but I think I'm going to be watching Dita von Teese perform at the Standard on Valentine's Day. A date with Dita, why not?"
