more news from the New York Fashion Week
The stars descended on New York Fashion Week on Sunday, with Olympian Dara Torres hitting the catwalk, Justin Timberlake putting on a runway show and the likes of Winona Ryder and Christina Ricci lining the front rows.
The high wattage came on a day of birthday parties for DKNY and Calvin Klein, which was celebrating 40 years in business with a star-studded party Sunday night, competing with Timberlake’s presentation of his William Rast collection.
Torres strutted the runway with her 2-year-old daughter in tow at the Charles Nolan show, wearing an indigo and white-striped silk jersey tank with navy swim shorts.
Ryder and Ricci were both in the front row for Donna Karan’s 20th anniversary collection.
“I like her clothes because they’re comfortable and I like her as a person,” Ryder said. “She’s kind of great.”
On Saturday, Lindsay Lohan started a minor frenzy with her appearance with gal pal Samantha Ronson at her sister Charlotte Ronson’s show. Eva Longoria, Mary Kate Olsen and the crew from “Gossip Girl” were also spotted around the tents.
New York Fashion Week runs through Sept. 12, with more than 100 shows over eight days.
DKNY
Donna Karan’s DKNY was born in the 1980s and the designer is darn proud of it. Her 20th anniversary collection for spring was all about highlighter colors, minis and jumpsuits for the next generation.
Karan rarely makes an appearance at the Bryant Park tents, but this was a celebration and the brand needed the bigger space to accommodate more guests. Taking their places in the front row were Ryder, Ricci and longtime Karan models Esther Canadas and Angela Lindvall.
