See any shows we missed? Let us know!

Protests are not uncommon during fashion week. From designers’ use of animal fur to lack of racial diversity in models, activists have a number of reasons to take issue with the industry. The latest? Unpaid internships. And good old Occupy Wall Street will be demonstrating against them.
Today, the New York Times published what is maybe the most hilarious pre-Fashion Week story ever about something that isn’t actually supposed to be that hilarious: The flu.
Let’s just say the fashion world’s idea of flu prevention is a little different from the rest of the world’s.
