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.
