Street Style: Fashion Week attendees tell us about their favourite style finds
Putting together the perfect Fashion Week outfit takes serious thought, especially if your closet doesn’t happen to be brimming with designer names or haute couture. If there’s one thing we noticed at the tents this season, it’s that you don’t need to dress in head-to-toe Helmut Lang to pull off an ultra-chic look. We asked a few creative show-goers to tell us about their favourite pieces, and discovered that—with a few runway-ready exceptions—most of the best ensembles consisted of thrift store finds, Joe Fresh T-shirts and hand-me-downs from mom. Here, some of the coolest clothing stories from Fashion Week.
