he intoxicating force of fashion can be felt in no other
place more exciting than on the runways where
collections are introduced to retail buyers, press,
photographers, designer supporters and celebrity
fashion enthusiasts craving the latest season trends.

FashionQandA.com was front row and center at some of
the hottest Fall/Winter 2008 collections presented by
designers at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week New York
held February 1st through February 8th, 2008. An
estimated 100,000 attendees including myself were
hustling through the Tents at Bryant Park and throughout
Manhattan to view some of the 80 plus Fall collections
and presentations.

I had the privilege of viewing collections from 3.1 for
Phillip Lim, Diesel, Pamela Roland, R. Scott French,
Cynthia Rowley and more! Fashion Q&A enthusiastically
supports emerging designer star talent. During fashion
week I viewed several exciting collections from designers
Tim Hamilton, Lela Rose, Elaine Turner and Eventide.
These lines are definitely labels you will want to lust for
and Fashion Q&A is introducing them to reserved spot in
your wardrobe first.

This issue is dedicated to giving you an exclusive Fall
runway-rap-up of the key accessories, stand out colors,
ready-to-wear trends, and red carpet must-haves. It is my
desire to give readers the latest Fall 411 so that you can
keep up with the fast paced fashion elite.
