Looks from the Kimberly Ovitz show during New York Fashion Week.

From the models' twisted, tightly woven hair to the graphic print dresses to the leather, sheer, and layered separates, the message comes across loud and clear: you don't want to mess with the Kimberly Ovitz girl. "She's a confident strong woman that believes less is more," the designer told us before her show today at New York Fashion Week. "She can be edgy but also minimal." In other words she's tough AND and effortlessly cool, a quality which also spills over to her enviable wardrobe. "This season is all about natural defense mechanisms," Kimberly explained of her Fall/Winter collections. "I looked to animals and insects and their innate protection systems; there's lots of layers which are inspired by shells, a lot of vivid colors inspired by nature, and the result is very dangerous looking."

Selena Gomez

Celebrity sightings during New York Fashion Week are certainly not hard to come by (may we present Exhibit A?), but there's defintiely one star cameo that, in anticipation of the Big Apple's most stylish week, we were MOST excited for: Selena Gomez at adidas NEO's teen-curated runway show. Gomez is a brand ambassador for NEO alongside her on-again-off-again boo piece Justin Bieber, but Sel's involvement also goes a bit deeper than Biebsy's, designing pieces for the brand as well as helping pick the 30 teen-styled looks featured in the final show.

Vanessa Hudgens, Victoria Justice and Ashlee Simpson at last night's Wildfox Couture show.

California label Wildfox Couture is a Young Hollywood wardrobe staple— stars like Vanessa Hudgens consider it their off-duty uniform— so when designer Kimberley Gordon decides to stage a runway show in downtown NYC, her famous fans follow. Proving that even (really cute, really comfy) t-shirts can still warrant a spot in Fashion Week, last night's The Great Gatsby- inspired presentation showcased Wildfox's comfy tops as well sequins, Americana shorts, and tops splashed with trademark Gatsby phrases like "It was just a dream," and "Daisy." While the models worked the goods (including a new collab with Michelle Siwy!) on the runway, attendees like Vanessa, Victoria Justice, and Ashlee Simpson rocked the collection off the catwalk. And all of this happened BEFORE New York band Chairlift ended the night with their Valentine's Day single, "I Belong In Your Arms."

Valentine's Day is great and all, but you know what we REALLY love? Cute clothes. Bonus points if they're actually affordable, and even better if they're from one of our favorite designers, Prabal Gurung. All three of these incredible things collided last night at the celebration of the New York CFDA winner's newest collab with Target, a huge dream date-inspired affair featuring food trucks, indoor rides, and a performance by Ne-Yo (which, PS, if you haven't witnessed editors and It girls getting down to R&B love songs, then you don't know what you're missing!). Clearly the fashion industry's love for the singer is mutual— Ne-Yo told us on the red carpet that he'd just returned from Paris Fashion Week. "I went to the Givenchy and Versace shows in Paris and loved both of them," he said. "And I gotta admit, when I met Donatella Versace for the first time, I got a little crush on her!" Actresses Elizabeth Olsen, Carey Mulligan, Analeigh Tipton, and campaign star Olivia Thirlby also turned out on the red carpet decked out in Prabal for Target, Elizabeth pairing her dress with an oversized blazer, Carey with a leather coat, and Analeigh with her mom's vintage army jacket. The America's Next Top Model contestant-turned- Warm Bodies star told us she borrows her mom's stuff all the time now that she realizes how cool it is. Aww!

MTV may have changed since its early days, but we're always looking out for the music. Here at MTV Style, we're continually looking for the places where music and fashion come together, and, lucky for us, it happens fairly often. One of the brands we can always count on to make the connection is Opening Ceremony, and this New York Fashion Week, designer Chloe Sevigny is upping the brand's usual music and fashion game even further than before by casting musicians in her Autumn Winter 2013 presentation. Taking place this Saturday, the clothes will be worn by the punk legends Kim Gordon and Ikue Mori, singer Lissy Trullie, Lizzi Bougatsos of I.U.D. and Gang Gang Dance, Bleached, and Light Asylum's Shannon Funchness. It's basically all of the coolest downtown ladies getting together and trying on clothes. But wait, that's not all. This isn't just a musicians-as-models scenario: the presentation will also feature performances from each of the artists, at least according to Women's Wear Daily.

The runway at New York Fashion Week.
Photo: Getty

In the old days, bloggers, fashion fans, and editors in the making alike counted on Style.com to keep up with the shows if they couldn't make it to New York Fashion Week. Flipping through images from the shows was like the high school fashion fan's daily meditation, paired with daydreams of the day that they would not only be able to go to New York, but also be able to sit front row (or sit at all) themselves. But those were simpler times, and the fashion world had not yet become the egalitarian (sometimes) free-for-all that it is now. Fashion Week has become fashion month; the tents have become Lincoln Center; everyone from the old standby designers to the scrappy up-and-comers, to everyone else in between has a show; and now, as of this season, all of the shows taking place at Lincoln Center can also come directly to your computer, iPad, or other device via Mercedes Benz Fashion Week's official livestreams. Both at newyork.mbfashionweek.com and facebook.com/mbfashionweek, the streams will allow you to watch tons of shows, right along with your favorite bloggers, editors, and photographers. Want to feel like you're sitting with us at Rebecca Minkoff, Mara Hoffman/, Charlotte Ronson, and more? Here's your ticket, and it's a lot cheaper than a flight to New York, a lot warmer than being here, too.

Cara Delevingne

Cara Delevingne begins her 'LOVE' Instagram takeover.

Fashion Week is upon us, you guys! And whether this means lugging your clothes to the dry cleaners so you'll have something to wear to shows or just prepping your PJs to livestream the collections on your couch, here's one thing EVERYONE should do: start following LOVE magazine on Instagram, because Cara Delevingne has officially taken over. This season's model MVP, new British VOGUE cover girl, and pro-Instagrammer is documenting her New York fashion week adventures for the masses. So far she's mostly 'gramming kissy pictures with Kate Moss, Karl Lagerfeld or her own LOVE cover, but we know it's only a matter of time before more of her trademark funny faces make their way into our feeds.

Saint Lou Lou at the Maison Kitsuné fashion show.

Music and fashion have been closerthanclose since day one— after all, that's what this blog is ALL about. But while rad performance outfits and musicians modeling in campaigns is nothing new (just look at Nicki, Katy, or pretty much anyone with a recent Top 40 single as proof), it's rarer to find musicians who actually work it on the runways. And THIS is exactly why Paris Fashion Week this season is so out of the ordinary, as indie rockers are replacing top models on Maison Kitsuné and Saint Laurent Paris catwalks. Kitsuné twisted the traditional show concept this week, instead opting for a televised concert starring the fashion brand-slash-music-label's roster of artists. Genius, right? Emerging acts such as Swedish duo Saint Lou Lou, Brit band Citizens!, and French electro-popper Yelle all hit the stage decked out in the new Fall/Winter collection.

H&M might be considered fast fashion, but between recent collaborations with Versace, Margiela, and Marni, there's absolutely no question the Swedish retail giant has its affordable-meets-designer game on lock. Now it's the label's turn to take to the runway with its very first show in NINE YEARS during Paris Fashion Week! Joining PFW veterans like Dior, YSL, and Chanel, H&M will parade 25 looks from its Fall 2013 collection down the catwalk on February 27. While the company's no stranger to the concept—the Versace collection was presented as a fashion show back in 2011—we can't wait to see how this quick shopping staple actually translates in the massive Musée Rodin venue next month.

There's no better person to kick off the group than fashion darling Hailee Steinfeld, who's already garnered QUITE the modeling resume for a 16-year-old. The former Miu Miu face stopped by the Chanel show earlier today, looking the part of a Parisienne in a leather pencil skirt, collegiate cardigan, Chanel purse, and perfectly tilted hat. Besides posing with Karl, Hailee also called out Cara Delevingne on Instagram with a close-up of the model working it on the runway. Awww.

I love these two as a couple. What a festive way to celebrate two important events in their life. Mariah looks like a dream.
