The week before Fashion Week, my calendar turns into a countdown. This year I want you in every moment — a toast to 20 years, a brunch for 100 women, and one red carpet I’ve been waiting for. Here’s the whole plan, in order.
The 20th Anniversary Show — Saturday, September 12
On Saturday, September 12th at 6pm, we’re toasting 20 years of Fashion Bomb Daily with a fashion show. Space is limited, and honestly, you don’t want to wait — RSVP on Eventbrite the moment you can. If you’d like to sponsor a seat, email events@fashionbombdaily.com.
The Confidence Formula: Champagne + a good seat + early RSVP = the full evening, minus the stress.
The Kibonen Brunch — Sunday, September 13
Sunday, September 13th at noon, I’m hosting a brunch featuring Kibonen. The plan is simple: one brunch, one MAFO dress (most admired fashion object — think one statement piece, worn without apology), and 100 women. Tickets are available at Kibonen.com.
The Confidence Formula: One MAFO dress + good company = a Sunday worth wearing.

Emerge NYFW Red Carpet — Tuesday, September 15
Then on Tuesday, September 15th, I’ll be the red carpet host at Emerge NYFW’s fashion show. Details are posted through Emerge NYFW. I’ll also be hosting an exclusive Fashion Bomb Gold luxury shopping event during the week — stay tuned for that one.
And because I like you to leave with something: use the code CLAIREISTHEBOMB for a special discount from me — yes, it’s the original blogger’s code, kept with her permission, and here’s your disclosure.
a note from Isabelle
Fashion Week isn’t about the runway from the front row — it’s about choosing which rooms you’re in. Pick the one where you feel most like yourself. I’ll see you in New York.
If you’re planning a trip, or just want to shop the week: 10 pieces for a week of travel outfits and what to actually wear to a fashion show.
