Word has it that famed photog Patrick McMullan sent several Fashion Week Survival Kits to designers and celebs including Zac Posen, Diane Von Furstenberg, Lydia Hearst, Brooke Shields, Tim Gunn and Fern Mallis among 40 others.
People who are just simply too busy to even snack during fashion shows were sent deliveries from Nu-Kitchen, and beauty products from Darphin, SkinCeuticals, Stila, Anthony Logistics for Men, Elemis and Laura Mercier.
Even we don’t know what are the exact items that lie in this coveted “Survival Kit” but we’re giving this to one lucky reader who enters a comment below and tells us what he or she loves about Fashion Week.
A (surviving) winner will be picked in a week.
