For the models walking and designers showing at Fashion Week this year, it was the calm before the storm. Hilary Rhoda, in a red silk dress by Ronny Kobo she said had “Dynasty vibes,” lounged with Damaris Lewis, who was wearing gold lurex Batsheva.

Tory Burch was there in between preparations for her upcoming show at the Brooklyn Museum. “We had a foundation event there, and when I saw the space I said, ‘Oh, it’s so beautiful,’” she said. “[It’s] on Sunday, and when I get through that, we’re going to the U.S. Open.” Model Elsa Hosk had a similar idea—she came to the party after watching matches at the Arthur Ashe Stadium earlier in the day.

For Nicky Hilton Rothschild, the hard work was already done: She showed her debut shoe collection in her apartment earlier in the week. “I wanted it to be intimate with just family, friends, and a few editors,” she said. In a white Misha Nonoo jumpsuit, she said she likes these Fashion Week parties. “It’s a good excuse to dress up!”
