The Best Black Street Style From New York Fashion Week

Because Fashion Week shows are the place to see and be seen, it should come as no surprise that some of the best looks aren’t even on the runway.

Yes, the Super Bowl is going down in New Orleans this weekend, but if you’re in New York City, it’s all about Fashion Week. From February 6 – 11, some of the hottest designers, including Michael Kors, Brandon Maxwell, Tory Burch and Sergio Hudson, will be showing off their latest fall and winter fashions.
