The nights leading up to the biannual appearance of NYC’s Fashion Week are filled with small parties toasting to the glitz and glamour that is New York fashion.

On Tuesday evening, Miriam Harris and Naomi Defensor of MTV’s Real World fame, hosted an event at the chic Grace Hotel showcasing three up-and-coming designers, jewelry companies Soltash and Catalina, and shoes and accessory designer Dots Angelz. While the baubles and stiletto collections provided eye candy for the ladies, beautiful models roamed for the benefit of the boys, and all party-goers danced to tunes spun by NFL DJ Yoshi.

By the end of the night we were all wanting more – hello, New York Fashion Week!
