Having trouble making runway reservations at the New York fashion week hot spots? Have no fear… you’ve got connections. From breakfast at Vera Wang to dinner with Narciso Rodriguez, virtual dining is the best way to stay in the know without having to pick up the tab. Bon Appetit!

Breakfast: Vera Wang

Menu: Plenty of pleats, floaty, diaphanous fabrics, pretty ballet skirts (Black Swan takes a curtain call), sleeveless duffle coats, elegant elbow-length gloves and a dreamy palette of cream, taupe and chocolate.
Catch of the day: The sporty meets spice fur-trimmed anoraks.

Lunch: Diesel Black Gold

Menu: Touches of antique mixed with military dash, reversible shearling, suede, cozy knits, drainpipe leather pants with lace-ups, the LLD (little leather dress), texture mixing, cutaway jackets, wafer-thin briefcases with eagle motifs, pony hair flap over bags and rich shades of moss, wine and chocolate.
Catch of the day: The dusty rose snakeskin print skirt.

Dessert: Herve Leger

Menu: The updated bandage dress, ever-so-slightly flared skirts, harness-like straps and buckles, heavy duty embellishment (studs, gold chains), an all-neutral and black colour combo (A-listers love their neutrals!)
Catch of the day: The black cutout gown with its seriously sexy exposed zipper snaking down the back.
