Shimmer and shine are proving to be an undying trend for a number of New York Fashion Week attendees. At the 3.1 Phillip Lim runway presentation alone, we spotted Meredith Melling Burke in a nude sequined top, another attendee in black sequined shorts, and Brit rocker Liela Moss giving her own take. Get Liela's look, above, with Notify leather pants, a black sequin tank, and accessorize with a red bag for extra pop.

Karoline Kurkova showed up at a number of shows this New York Fashion Week — Alexander Wang, Michael Kors, and Oscar de la Renta among them. She told Modelinia: “After having the baby I’m a new person and I feel like I’m starting again as a new person. It’s the rebirth of me and an evolution of me. It just kind of all happened at once and everybody was excited for me to do shows, so I kind of instead of doing one, I could do just one exclusive or one or two. But I decided, ‘Let me just go with it.’”

Kurkova, captured in her downtime between shows, gave her take on the color for Fall, camel, with a slouchy ribbed sweater, asymmetric skirt, and toffee-colored oxfords. Emulate her chic look by pairing this BCBG Max Azria sweater, seen above, with a draped skirt by Vivienne Westwood Anglomania. Finish off with oxfords, dark sunnies, and a black satchel.

>> Anja Rubik on Backstage: "There's No Respect, We Have to Change With 1,000 Other People Around" — Sara Ziff, whose documentary Picture Me, which takes a hard look at the darker side of modeling and comes out in Manhattan theaters today (and Los Angeles theaters on Sept. 24), asked Anja Rubik about the conditions backstage after the Spring 2011 Rodarte show. "[Working conditions are] getting unfortunately worse," says Rubik. "When we used to model, at least the changing rooms were way better for girls. Now, there's no respect, we have to change with 1,000 other people around. So I think it's even going backwards, it's getting worse and worse. Now, we were at Rodarte and everyone was backstage while we were changing so everyone could see us naked. Back in the days when I started, we had our separate room and there was some kind of wall that separated us. I don't think it will ever change because everything is so hectic and last minute. There are too many girls who would do the job if you don't do it, so I don't think it's possible to unite all of the girls say, 'No, we want this and these conditions.' I think that's crazy, It'll never happen. I think it's mission impossible." [The Cut]

Look We Love: Tea-Length Skirts

Marc Jacobs and Fendi introduced tea-length skirts on their Fall 2010 runways and the look was spotted everywhere in the crowd at New York Fashion Week. Contrast the modest hemline — we love the deep aubergine hue on the Sparkle & Fade skirt seen center — with a leather jacket and tough ankle boots for a modern vibe, or with a silk blouse and pointy-toe pumps for a lady-like approach.
