Over the next eight days, nearly 300 shows will take place in Manhattan’s Lincoln Center. Everyone from top fashion bloggers to magazine editors and news reporters to the celebrities seated front row to the real stars of the show — the designers and models themselves — and more will be on hand to join in on the action.
