Fashion Week II

From September 5-12, Mercedes-Benz Fashion week descended upon the streets of New York City.  Celebrities, red carpet and miles of runways  headlined the event.  But, for those of us who could not make it to the fashion epicenter, all the events were recorded.  On the Web, you can find schedules, celebrity sightings, and of course all those big new trends. 

According to fashion reports, this fall's trends included sheers, animal prints, puffy sleeves, and voluminous shapes.  These trends are not  trends that you will usually see walking down Grand River Ave. in East Lansing.  So, to preview the real trends, you may want to take a look further than your neighbor's closet, and see some of the video from this year's shows.
