Weather forecasts predict "a blizzard of potentially historic proportions" in New York today, forcing Fashion Week attendees to slop around between shows and parties in ugly shoes (or cute ones they don't mind ruining, for the true fashion masochists). Disgusting weather is always a bummer, but this storm is bad enough — twelve to sixteen inches of snow! — that it's causing serious logistical problems. Marc Jacobs has postponed his show to Thursday owing to delivery delays; he certainly can't be the only label suffering from stalled shipments. Meanwhile, designer Jenni Kayne, whose presentation takes place today at 11 a.m., is stuck in L.A. owing to flight cancellations and won't be able to come at all.
Kayne's publicist sent out the following e-mail this morning:
With the impending storm, we received word this morning that Jenni's plane was not able to make it out of LA last night.
We are terribly sorry for the inconvenience – but the show must go on! We will still be presenting Jenni's collection today from 11-1. We hope to see you and will have to arrange all necessary interviews via phone or email.
Check back here for weather-related Fashion Week updates throughout the day; in the meantime, layer up and put on your boots. The only thing worse than heels in a blizzard is crutches.
