“Despite the current economic apocalypse, there are still places where semi-employed journalists like myself can suckle at the teat of an open bar, subside for days on passed hors d’oeuvres, and listen to the plaintive rumblings of famished supermodel stomachs, even when the DJ is playing Lady Gaga really loud. They’re called Fashion Week parties.” —Chris Wilson, Gawker’s new Fashion Week writer.

DEAD ON. Fashion Week provides me with free drinks, free snacks, free swag (shampoo for the season! lip glosses! free notebooks!) and a way to see all of my snooty friends in one or two organized places over the course of a week.
It's highly annoying, but I take it for what it is. Oh well.
