About Last Night... The Best of the Best of New York Fashion Week, Part 1
By Caroline Torem Craig
10 years X 2 per year = 22 Fashion Weeks 4 PAPER!
It’s exciting stuff covering backstage, front of house, runway and the parties. One needs to train, like for a marathon. The stamina needed to deal with four different kinds of "lists," to travel to and from the tents and off-site venues, to fight with hundreds of manic-panic foreign and domestic photographers and videographers for a 12-inch square of space for 20, 30, 40 different shows is incredible. Sometimes there are actual fights like the Italians vs. the Japanese or the New York Times vs. The New York Post. It can be both hilarious and/or upsetting. When the lights go down and the first model struts the catwalk, it is concentration time... OH!! To get the perfect shot! There can be a gasp of appreciation as a tiny perfect breast escapes from the fabric or a moan of sympathy as wobbly legs in 6" platforms lose control or a hush when the ighting, music, clothing and the model blend together to make a sweet magic moment, hopefully captured for TOMORROW! Some of my favorite photos this season show “recognition,” not just for me but for the magazine I represent -- PAPER. Everyone loves PAPER. They show it in their eyes, their smiles and they even say it out loud! Here are some of the best moments of Fashion Week that I captured.
Madonna and Lourdes; Waris and Tiffany Limos
Glenn O'Brien; Arden Wohl and Leigh Lezark
Traver Rains and Richie Rich; Lil' Kim
Lauren Edwards and Jason Preston; Cory Kennedy

M.I.A,gave me this great "FACE" for PAPER as she walked by most photographers at the wonderous MARC JACOBS show,LIL KIM was at his party.CORY KENNEDY and GLENN O'BRIEN were at THREEASFOUR's deluxe show at the ALTMAN BLD.
CORY KENNEDY was there too.Waris and Tiffany posed at United Bamboo which was a real smooth show!The "LUMBERJACKS" make up COSTELLO TAGLIAPIETRA but don't be fooled by the plaid clad duo-their clothes were ultra feminine and subtly sexy . Everyone else was found at the multi-level PRADA SOHO STORE'S party that was teeming with fashionable celebrities.

Madonna looks like Alice Faye! How did you get Lil Kim to pose in the funhouse mirror? The 2 lumberjacks are my favorite! Glad I stayed home all week!
