Dallas Takes on New York Fashion Week

Fashion bloggers Lauren Scruggs, Shannon
Yoachum and Courtney Kerr

Like a Sirens song, Mercedes Benz Fashion Week has an irresistible lure for those who are fashionably minded. Some go to discover trends and get ahead of the curve. Others go to voyeur into the world of the jet-set crowd, hoping to catch a glimpse of their favorite celebrities or meet the designers of the moment.  Whatever the reason, New York Fashion Week is always well represented by Dallas and even a massive snow storm couldn't stop our Texans from taking the Big Apple by storm!

Fashion blogger and Bravo TV star Courtney Kerr took in shows from Herve Leger, Rebecca Minkoff, Carmen Marc Valvo and Nicole Miller to name a few. She also took advantage of being in NYC to visit the Bravo studios, attending a taping of Andy Cohen's "Watch What Happens Live" where she got to hang with Jenny McCarthy.

Fashionistas founder, Heidi Dillon, also headed East for the event spending time with reality villainess Pamela Martin-Duarte of Big Rich Texas. Dillon took in shows from Katya Leonovich and attended "The Reality of Fashion/The Reality of AIDS" benefiting Broadway Cares watching fellow Dallas reality actors Leslie Berkland and Nikki Walker of Big Rich Texas stomp the runway.

Dallas Reality TV Star Takes on New York Fashion Week

Nikki Walker from Big Rich Texas will hit the cat walk during New York Fashion Week on February 9 to participate in "The Reality of Fashion/The Reality of AIDS" benefiting AIDS United.

Nikki will stomp the runway with the likes of 'Lil Kim (Dancing With The Stars, The Apprentice & Girlicious), Janice Dickinson (America's Next Top Model), Aviva Drescher, Ramona Singer and Alex McCord (Real Housewives of NYC) and a handful of other ladies that barely made a blip on my reality radar.

Walker told me exclusively, "I have modeled for many years. I was more into it when I was still competing in pageants, but I love to (model) when I have time these days! I am super nervous about walking with Janice Dickinson. I mean, she is the first supermodel ever! I hope I don't have to walk right after her.  She will put me to shame!"
