It’s crunch time.

New York Fashion Week is now into Day Four and, thankfully, no longer under siege from Hurricane Hanna, who was pelting out raindrops of destruction on Dior and YSL heels at Bryant Park this past weekend.
While it rained cats and dogs outside, smoky gothic black cat eyes reigned big on a few major runways, namely Abaete, Yigal Azrouel and Diane von Furstenberg. Makeup artists, like Jeanine Lobell backstage at the Yigal presentation, kept the rest of the face minimal and zeroed aesethetic focus on the eyes.
