Today marks the end of an era - it will be the last time NYFW takes place in Bryant Park. If you haven't heard by now the tent will be moved uptown to Lincoln Center in September. Fern Mallis (Director of NYFW) stated that the shows became too big for Bryant Park. There will be a huge 'so long' celebration at the tent tonight.
Of course, I am visiting family in MA - dammit.

Didn't get enough of Bryant Park? Well Patrick McCullan created a fabulous coffee table book capturing behind the scene moments at NYFW. Let's just say this is on my 'chic reads' list.
*You're probably wondering why am I taking a bite out of an apple in front of the tent, huh? Well that photo is for a friend's upcoming book, which will debut here on ACCIDENTAL Chic when it is finished. Stay tuned!
