New York Fashion Week Fall 2010 is just around the corner, and to help you get in the spirit, we asked some of our favorite designers how they make it through the stressful time leading up to and including fashion week.

What are your must-haves when preparing for New York Fashion Week?
Good music, an amazing team, and an hour or two of sleep once in a while.

What is one thing that helps you make it through NYFW?
Espresso!
 
One word to describe your fall 2010 collection? Bold.
 
A favorite piece we should watch for from your fall collection?
Choosing a favorite piece is impossible—it’s like choosing a favorite daughter. I love them all equally. We’re really excited for all the amazing looks that are coming down the runway for fall 2010.
