Leather Harnesses, Lace Dresses, And A Peek Backstage At BCBG
Early this morning we strapped on our heels and headed uptown to Lincoln Center for our first show of New York Fashion Week: BCBG Max Azria. We started backstage, where we were jostled by crowds of photographers, harried PR reps, and bloggers alike, until finally found our way to the eye of the storm, aka hair and makeup.
