New York, February 6-9, 2007 – Nothing could top our chance meeting with French soccer superstar Zizou at Y-3 on Wednesday, but we managed to mingle with a not-too-shabby crowd during the rest of Fall ’07 New York Fashion Week.

Joan Jett, Fran Drescher, Cyndi Lauper, Todd Oldham and Amber Tamblyn all sipped tea at Betsey Johnson’s runway-side café tables, and cheered when the grandma/designer did her trademark cartwheel at show’s end.

Spiky haired Jett was at the tents again that evening, for Heatherette’s typically whacky presentation; this season’s had a “Wizard of Oz” theme, complete with the runway done up as a yellow brick road.

Our eyes popped when Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen dashed in and sat across from us at Jennie Kayne’s Wednesday afternoon show. The twins are harder to tell apart since they’re both blonde again, but Mary-Kate was the one with serious dark roots.

We were kind of bleary-eyed bright and early Thursday morning, but that was Celine Dion, chipper and awake, roaming around backstage at J. Mendel. The loyal mega-star wears J. Mendel onstage in Las Vegas. Cynthia Nixon, Mary-Louise Parker and Natasha Richardson also graced the front row.

The week wrapped (finally) with Tommy Hilfiger’s late Friday show at Hammerstein Ballroom, his first after an 18-month hiatus. Damon Dash sang along to the opening song, The Mamas & the Papas classic, "All the Leaves are Brown", from his front row seat near Michelle Williams and Molly Sims. Later, we worked off the week’s tension at Hilfiger’s private party at Bungalow 8.
