For fashion junkies worldwide, getting a sneak-peek of upcoming designs means getting a head start on those waiting to attend the shows. Equally, designers are always looking for ways to peak the interest of viewers without giving away too much before the actually showcase. The middle ground? Sketches! With the 2010 New York Fashion Week quickly approaching, many designers from Giles Mendel to newcomers like Brookelynn Starnes have released sketches of their designs that will be showcased during the week. These beautiful drawings are just enough to tease the audience, while leaving enough to the imagination for the runway.  The ‘80s aren’t going away anytime soon, judging from a preview of the next few weeks’ fashion shows.
New York Fashion Week, which kicks off Thursday, isn’t a huge sales generator—runway clothes generally account for only 10% to 20% of designer sales. But it is a barometer of future trends. The belted looks currently on the streets—belt sales rose 30% in the first half of the year, according to NPD Group—showed up on runways two years ago.
