Fashion month is not all about the shows, celebs and champers, you know. There's just as much to see off the catwalk as there is on: it's people watching at its very best.

TV host and fashion blogger La Carmina was on street style watch for us during New York Fashion Week (where she was also speaking at the IFB conference and taking fashion photography in collaboration with Japan's Zoolook iPhone app - busy lady!) scouting out the quirky and the cool from the show-going crowds.

Here are some of her favourites:
