WARDROBE: New York Fashion Week: The view from the mezzanine at Fashion Rocks

With the exception of Mary J. Blige and Usher's amazing medley (he performed James Brown, she did Aretha Franklin and then they sang together), the night was a bit of a disappointment, despite its impressive lineup. But then again, that could have just been our sheer exhaustion from navigating the shows without a cab tainting our view.
