There are two kinds of Fashion Week. One is experienced by writers, editors, and industry folk, and the other is reserved for what we’ll just call “the pretty people” — celebrities, socialites, models, and anyone else who scores a front-row seat. Determined to bring you the complete Fashion Week experience from every angle, we’ve enlisted the expertise of a very pretty person, Victoria’s Secret model Selita Ebanks. Acting as our not-quite-undercover agent, Selita will be filing dispatches from the tents, filtering Fashion Week through her special lens. Herewith, her BlackBerry’d reports from this morning’s BCBG show.

Hey y’all! :)
So I couldn’t sleep last night, thanks to the anticipation of starting off my Fashion Week as a spectator! BCBG sent me fabulous dresses which made me very indecisive this morning … but I think I made a great choice. I paired the dress with a chunky Fendi sling-back.

I’m at the show; sitting across from Ciara and Jessica Simpson. When I first arrived, I was swept away to meet Max Azria, the designer. He’s so sweet; he told me I resemble his friend Jennifer Beals.

Show begins @ 10:35. Love the orange matte lip. Floaty transparent pieces with lace accents are to die for. I’m in love with the high-waisted leather belts. And the bag with the silver trim is fierce! My favorite is a marigold organza dress worn with a belt.
