New York Fashion Week Spring 2013: Dispatches and celeb sightings from a fashion week newbie
Lynn Yaeger and Bill Cunningham shot by Skip Bolen/Getty Images Things I learned today at my first day at the shows: Saturday mornings get off to a slow start. That doesn’t mean that the front row isn’t glossy-haired and well-heeled, but it’s certainly a smaller, sleepier crowd at the tents for 9am.

New York Fashion Week Spring 2013 Street Style: Ombrés, logo tees and an Advanced Style muse outside the first day of shows
Photography by Stefania Yarhi New York Fashion Week officially kicked off the Spring 2013 show season yesterday with a full day of fashion shows around town.

While the A-list scooted inside, Yarhi snapped an awesome gent in the most awesome red suit (the red hat!) and even a little baby fashion show attendee. (Diaper changes are the new street style shtick.)

The shows aren’t being positioned as a parallel fashion week–the CFDA is supporting the initiative and the shows will be on the official NYFW calendar–though some speculate that there must be some annoyance on the part of IMG, who runs the Bryant Park tents.
The line-up includes some very heavy hitters amongst the young-and-cool-designers set:
