With the Fall Collections taking place in New York in the first week of Feb, the catwalk consisted heavily of coats and other winter-esque pieces, which, as we know, is world's away from Brisbane, but fits perfect in the New Yorker wardobe.

Although New York is a part of the Fab Four; Milan, Paris and even London are steps ahead. Now it may be the American brashness and the 'in-your-face-but-not-in-a-good-way' styling that pisses me off, but for every minor catastrophe, there were some higlights (in my eyes).

Despite several standout-fits, there was nothing original about any of it. Seen it all before, and still bored with it.

But as with every Fashion week, from Sao Paulo to Reykjavik, and even Sydney, there's always someone who makes me smile.

Even if it's through gritted teeth!
