New York Fashion Week Fall 2008

Fashion week first-timer Ana Ortiz got the VIP treatment at Nanette Lepore, greeting the designer before taking in the show at the Bryant Park tents. Lepore's fall collection featured a blend of textures and patterns from velvet and sequins to plaid and tweed, most notably in deep plum and merlot. Also on hand for the occasion were Lorraine Bracco and figure skater Kristi Yamaguchi.
