NY Fashion Week: Designers reveal their love style

Freezing temps aside, the other bummer about New York Fashion Week’s fall schedule is that Valentine’s Day falls smack in the middle of the show cycle. So does that mean no flowers, no vino and no triple-layer chocolate cake for designers? We caught up with Erin Beatty, Misha Nonoo, Mara Hoffman and Rachel Zoe to find out how they plan to spend the romantic day, their fashion week must-haves and who gets their likes on Instagram.

I love the classics: Raoul’s, Omen, Bar Pitti. They’re just so New York to me.
