A brief few minutes OF beauty yesterday at Bryant Park
What
really happens on a typical day during fashion week? Besides
THE five
TO fifteen minutes
OF glorious stage time,
THE trendsetting, celeb watching, bright lights, free drinks,
AND the noise...
lots OF waiting! Izzy Ramirez, who's shooting behind-the-scenes photos
OF Fashion Week
FOR Sheknows.com, captured these real-life moments yesterday
IN the tents.

At first
THE line
TO check
IN for your pass can seem glamorous, but at some point, you are way over it.

Even
FOR press, sign
IN for each show begins at least an hour prior
TO the show. Many people arrive a couple
OF hours early, whether they're hanging out
IN between shows, planning
TO go backstage, or just hoping
TO get a place near
THE front of
THE line.

On day 1,
THE free bar seems great idea, but that novelty passes very quickly!

Monitors of
THE day's shows play at all times inside
THE tent
AND are great fun
TO watch until suddenly they're not...

Someone's always being interviewed everywhere you look...

But who's looking?
Making phone calls AND hanging
Then,
THE line forms,
AND it's more waiting...It's an exciting moment when
THE doors
TO the show finally open! Another hour easily goes by before everyone's seated. Then
OF course, there's
THE wait for
THE show itself. Is a famous celeb missing? Are
THE models ready
TO go? This can hold up
THE show
FOR what seems like a million years.
OF course, all is forgiven
THE minute
THE clothes hit
THE runway.

At
THE end of
THE day, what else?...more waiting!
