GQ, Rocawear and Hennessy Celebrated New York Fashion Week last night at Provocateur in NYC with one of the most exciting events this year. Anything involving GQ and Rocawear screams Jay-Z and his partner in crime Mr. Kanye West, who has only been seen a few times on the runway this year. But, I blame the VMA's for being in LA this year.

It might be a sign of the times, the economy or his maturity, but Marc Jacobs' approach to his fashion week afterparty this year was comparatively well, smallish. This year, Jacobs didn't take over the Hiro Ballroom and get Lady Gaga to perform like last year. He went with a more intimate approach and threw a party to celebrate photographer Brian Bowen Smith and their newest collaboration, The Men and Women of Marc Jacobs. The book features 150 Jacobs employee portraits. For their previous collaboration Smith photographed celebrities in the nude for Jacobs's charity push back in 2006. The afterparty was held at bookmarc and after at the Marc by Marc Jacobs store across the street with the walls covered by the photographs from the book.
