Get camera-ready for Fashion Week 2018. NYC will be filled with a stampede of posh editors, bloggers, stylists and shutterbugs. (They will be invading your favorite coffee shops and cafes. You’ve been warned). Tickets to some of the major runway shows aren’t available to the general public, but newsflash: you don’t have to be part of the elite fashion world to feel like an insider. Maybe you don’t have a front-row seat to the shows or a spot reserved next to Anna Wintour, but don't fret—we’ve got you covered. From free New York Fashion Week events you can actually attend to major exhibitions like Refinery29's 29Rooms, we’ll make sure to keep you in the loop. Make sure to book an appointment at one of the best hair salons NYC has to offer and hit the best places to go shopping to plan out your most stylish outfits for the week. You never know who might be taking your picture!
