A coworker and I were walking down Broadway yesterday, remarking on the Sidewalk Catwalk that had emerged in the Garment District over three weeks ago. Designers including Maria Cornejo, Prabal Gurung, and John Bartlett bravely situated their precious innovations outdoors, where they stand defenseless to drunk tourists, jaded New Yorkers, and the rebellious youth.

Yet, while the Ad Council's futile anti-teen drinking messages are constantly decorated by perma-marker-wielding highschoolers, the design displays fortunately remain unscathed.
Bravo, New York, for preserving fashion. Karl loves you.
