Fashion Week schedules are no joke. And when jetting from show to show, you barely have time to make any pit stops. Here, our fashion director Loredana spills her carry-everywhere musts – the items that get her from a post-show recap in a cab through the after-party at night. The best part? They all translate to the non-NYFW world, too.

The Bag
Gucci Bamboo Shopper Leather Tote
Gucci is my favorite label right now, and this neutral-hued bag goes with every mood I’m in during the week. From the outlandish looks to the more conservative ones, it just works.
The Contents
Christian Dior So Real Sunglasses
Sunglasses do so much more than block those bright rays when going from show to show. They also hide evidence of last night’s after-party.
Fujifilm Instax Mini 8 Instant Film Camera
A camera is a must to document amazing street-style moments, runway finales, and the shenanigans of Fashion Week. This one is instant, so I can print and share every photo on the spot.
Emilio Pucci Silk Twill Scarf
This scarf can be styled in so many different ways. I like to twist and tie it in a small knot at my neck when I’m feeling particularly Parisian.
Eccolo Metallic Gold Chevron Journal
My notebook goes everywhere with me – I’m still old-school and like to jot down ideas as soon as inspiration strikes.
Lipstick Queen Cosmos Lipstick
This brand makes the longest-lasting lipstick I’ve tried. Meaning? I don’t have to do as many touch-ups in between shows.
Gucci Pink Leather Swing Pass Case
You have to show your ID everywhere these days, so might as well use a chic card case. This blush-pink one makes flashing it actually enjoyable.
Braza Problem Solved Bag
I always keep an emergency kit stashed in my purse (Fashion Week or not). You never know when you’re going to lose a button or snag your hem.
