>> New York Fashion Week is a little over halfway through, and backstage, we've been nothing short of inspired. Our intrepid photographer has been on location to capture the best of the best moments — including Arizona Muse giving a nonchalant stare before Tommy Hilfiger and a zoomed-in look at Theyskens' Theory's chunky-heeled thigh high boots. Enjoy more eye candy in the slideshow!

>> Marios Schwab’s third collection for Halston was a direct reference to the ‘70s. “The Halston girl is a temptress,” said Schwab, who referenced Lauren Hutton’s character in “American Gigolo” as his inspiration. The presentation, which took place last night at Cedar Lake, had models set up on a pedestal wearing an array of gowns and dresses fitting for a glamorous party at Studio 54. Fluid Grecian-inspired chiffon gowns, pleated and draped cocktail dresses, and even sequined glow-in-the-dark creations — the lights dimmed down every 10 minutes to show off the display — were all present and dipped in hues of white, melon green, olive, and brown. However, it was Schwab’s daywear selection that really stood out amongst the crowd, most notably, a knotted shirtdress made in supple brown leather. Schwab has to head back to London to present his namesake collection, but not before indulging in a “a couple of cocktails” to celebrate the Halston collection. And what exactly will he be drinking to toast the night? “I like the mixed berry kind,” said Schwab.
>> The chilly weather hasn't stopped anyone from showing off their stems during Fashion Week. Case in point: this off-duty model looks leggy and luxurious in a furry topper, sweater, denim skirt and brown suede boots. Peep how her peek-a-boo printed red blouse and green bag add just the right amount of zest to her ensemb. Inspired? Get a similar look with our picks from Tibi, Topshop, Jeffrey Campbell, and Proenza Schouler.
