New York Post columnist Andrea Peyser visits Fashion Week and is just shocked to discover that it's a media circus. Representative quote: "'Oh, my God!' squealed a pretty girl, who looked 14, as a tall blonde sailed into the show ahead of the crowd. 'That's Whitney Port!' I asked stupidly, 'Is she a designer?'
