New York Fashion Week kicked off with warm weather that led models to continue wearing summer dresses rather than fall coats. Many top designers like Carolina Herrera, Monique Lhuillier, and Zac Posen showed their collections at Lincoln Center or other venues, with Posen choosing a romantic balcony setting. Newcomers Noon by Noor debuted a colorful 70s-inspired line. Victoria Beckham's collection expanded into trousers and was a success. Fashion's Night Out encouraged shopping, and the week concluded with anticipated shows from Marc Jacobs, Calvin Klein, and Ralph Lauren.
