Happy Fashion Week! While football fans are chowing down on wings and chugging beer in celebration of NFL’s kickoff day, models around NYC are sucking down those cigs and staring down pizza in anticipation for today, the model universe’s own little kickoff: the start of New York Fashion Week. Rather than go the usual runway route, we’ve opted for some behind-the-scenes coverage of the seven-day affair by tapping a girl who gets to see things from the inside-out. This is the model diary of rising star Coco Young (Wilhelmina).

Waiting at Calvin Klein casting…

and waiting…

And waiting some more.

Progress!

Yum.

En route

On to the next.
