In the past, the Fashionably Austin team was at New York Fashion Week during this time, covering the trends to bring back to Austin, Texas.

We have fond memories of watching fabulous runway shows and meeting fashionable celebrities like Tommy Hilfiger, Denise Richards, Alyssa Milano, Sadie Robertson, Nina Garcia, Diane Von Furstenberg, Kelly Osbourne, Melissa Rivers, and stars of "Project Runway" (to name a few).

We look forward to reporting from local events soon ... and we wonder ... on this / ... should we go back to NYFW?
