Broadway will soon be transformed into a runway.
Beginning Monday, mannequins decked by dozens of top designers will be installed in the Fashion District for the free exhibit "Sidewalk Catwalk." They'll be covered up till Thursday, when they'll be unveiled to the public and remain on display through Sept. 3.
A sneak peek reveals that the mannequins are just as diverse as the designers who dressed them. For instance, while Jason Wu's is draped in a strapless beige dress and simple black belt you could easily imagine on a runway model, others are far more outrageous.
Diane von Furstenberg's is painted in a gray-and-purple leopard print. Tommy Hilfiger's features an American flag made of melted resin that looks like it's waving in the wind. And Donna Karan's wears a cityscape dress and backpack covered in buttons celebrating New York -- from a Hell's Kitchen pin to a "Fashion Avenue" street sign.
Embroidery handmade in Naeem Khan's native India brightens the middle of his mannequin, whose arms and legs are covered in stainless steel studs from Germany. Nanette Lepore's bursts with bold oversize flowers and bows, meant to symbolize the "bright lights and constant energy" of New York. And Norma Kamali's is a techie's dream. Passersby can scan bar codes with some types of phones and view 17 different videos.

Sorry, haters: Mike (The Situation) Sorrentino, the breakout star of MTV's "Jersey Shore," is set to launch his own clothing line.
According to MTV.com, the 27-year old Staten Island native has partnered with Dilligaf, a New York-based fashion house, for the collection that is set to debut in July around the same time as the second season of "Jersey Shore."
He's the second "Shore"-goer to make a play at the fashion game: castmate Jenni (J-Woww) Farley has started Filthy Couture, and recently debuted a piece from the collection at the MTV Movie Awards.
Sorrentino will reportedly be very hands-on with the development of his own product. The line will offer "vibrant" clothing that will expand to sweatshirts and hats, and will feature accents like foiling, cross-stitching and nail heads.
The Sitch shot to fame on "Jersey Shore" for flashing his abs and heading up the show's party crew in Seaside Heights. Alongside castmates Pauly D, Ronnie Ortiz-Magro and Vinny Guadagnino, Sorrentino helped take the "Guido" lifestyle into the mainstream and introduced the "GTL" regimen (gym, tan, laundry) into the national lexicon.

Spring is here. Time to break out the sneakers, swimsuits and light-weight jackets.
It's getting warmer. Baseball season is starting. Flowers are blooming. The air isn't so dry. These are all signs that Spring is upon us, which means it's time to put away your Winter wardrobe. Here are some tips for a stylish Spring.
Spring Footwear
You don't have to trudge through snow anymore, so give the boots a rest. But what to where? Really, you can't go wrong with a classic, low-top white sneaker (leather or canvas). They go with jeans, khakis and even shorts, so they're versatile. They're also great for outdoor events like a picnic or a ball game. Plus, they're clean, simple look is a bit more grown-up than running shoes or skate shoes.
