We are so excited that our Spring 2012 show is literally hours away. Last week, we checked in with our friend's to see what gets them through fashion week. Take a look at the complete list below.


Leandra Medine, Blogger, The Man Repeller

I have a few things that keep me alive and going in the fashion trenches before and during NYC fashion week. One is breakfast: 1 bowl of special K + skim plus milk (sometimes w/ banana) Yum! Also, my Lanvin black satin flats--sometimes I just have to give my toes a break from the platforms and gigantic heels. I carry them everywhere in 6my Celine Luggage bag. It’s so chic I can carry an array of stuff in this bag. Sometimes its stuffed to the limit!

Joan Smalls, Model
One thing I can’t live without during fashion week are my Estee Lauder makeup wipes.

Joanna Stout, Manager, CFDA Fashion Incubator
Morning Red Eye (coffee with a shot of espresso) and NARS Cruella lipstick.

Amina Akhtar, Fashion Director, FashionEtc.com
I need my Diet Coke. I seriously have an addiction. It's a problem. I'm hoping to enter a program after shows end.
