The Unauthorized Guide To Becoming A Street-Style Star

New York Fashion Week, that special time of year when everybody is a somebody, is almost here.

“How’s your fashion week going?” many will ask starting tomorrow. “Oh, it’s going,” many will respond. Nights will be accentuated by the free-flowing Champagne at very exclusive, open bar after-parties attended by the media, celebrities, party crashers, Instagram-famous people, and those creatures who only seem to come out for NYFW. Days will be filled with many important people Ubering around Manhattan’s west side, desperately seeking an outlet to charge their phone and avoiding having to answer another iteration of how their week is going.
