Brows that wowed
The front row is usually abuzz with less-than-salacious chatter: industry gossip, editorial deadlines, how tired everyone feels. But every now and then something comes down the runway that’s so shocking that the fashion set can’t stop talking about it. This season? The incredible pierced eyebrows at Rodarte.

A canine on the catwalk
And at Hood by Air, someone walked a dog . . . down the runway. The (very large) Great Dane sparked as much conversation as did the Lucite collars around the models’ necks.

High-tech touches
Designers upped the technological ante at fashion shows this past week. Samsung’s Gear S smartwatches on the Diesel Black Gold runway were small potatoes compared to Ralph Lauren’s 4-D holographic, virtual runway, projected over a pond in Central Park. The fashion show as we know it has been changed forever.

Little pink house
Marc Jacobs’s last-minute change of time and venue left everyone wondering what elaborate set he would be constructing this season. Lo and behold, as his guests entered the Park Avenue Armory, they discovered a surprisingly suburban setting — an oversize house surrounded by gravel — in a decidedly ostentatious shade of pink. The bright image dominated Instagram streams for the remainder of the evening.

Chloë serves up lunch
The designer-actress Chloë Sevigny loves a performance. But this season, it was the delicious lunch at the presentation of her Opening Ceremony collection — three courses catered by Roberta’s (a Brooklyn pizza joint), including heirloom-tomato-and-burrata panzanella — that stole the show. The combination of fashion and food was a warm welcome to tired editors on the last day of Fashion Week.

All fashion week’s a stage
And another buzzy Opening Ceremony presentation: the label’s designers, Humberto Leon and Carol Kim, put on a one-act play written by Spike Jonze and Jonah Hill. Elle Fanning, Bobby Cannavale, Catherine Keener, John Cameron Mitchell and Dree Hemingway delivered a funny and touching (if not universally admired) performance, complete with a musical number (Drake’s “Hold On, We’re Going Home”).

Stores galore
It wouldn’t be Fashion Week without store openings, and New Yorkers celebrated many this season. The first to open its doors was Trademark in SoHo, a highly anticipated brick-and-mortar toasted by the likes of Mary-Kate Olsen and the Proenza Schouler boys. Next and further uptown was Phillip Lim’s new flagship in NoHo, followed by the Tod’s reopening on Madison Avenue.

A buzzy bistro
Did anyone even eat this week? The New York schedule is always so jam-packed that the fashion set looks forward to the London/Milan/Paris circuit for its long, leisurely lunches. This week, though, editors were at least talking about making a pit stop at the new bistro on the block: Cherche Midi, which fills the French-dining void left by the closing of Pastis earlier this year.

Pop stars on parade
It seemed like every party this week featured a big-name musical artist. From Iggy Azalea and Rita Ora at Calvin Klein’s fragrance launch party to Jillian Banks at the Phillip Lim store opening to St. Vincent at the Versus after-party, social media platforms felt more like an MTV Top-10 video roundup than a Fashion Week feed.

RiRi makes the rounds
Last season in Paris, it was hard to go to a show without seeing Rihanna in the front row. The same thing happened again this season in New York. Her appearances at shows like Edun, Alexander Wang, Altuzarra and Adam Selman meant for multiple outfit changes, which monopolized street style coverage. Miss RiRi is either a total fashion addict or gunning for a market director job at a glossy title.
