Doesn't it seem like it's always Fashion Week? The shows are upon us yet again, with the fall collections set to start walking the runways in New York today. But as street style photography blogs and social media image sharing platforms multiply at break neck speed (are you on Pinterest yet? Instagram? How to keep up!?), excitement over what editors and stylists will be wearing to the shows nearly overshadows the hype for the new collections. Nearly.

Photographers are staked outside the tents and the peacock-ing has begun. So we checked in with a few of our favorite editors to get a preview of what they'll be wearing this week. Trend trackers, take note—this is almost as big as what's on the runway.

Elle Strauss, Senior Fashion Editor, Lucky

No 21 fuchsia silk button down with a frill back: "I am obsessed with Alessandro Dell'Acqua's signature line. The colors and fabrics he uses are so beautiful. I can't wait to see what he does for fall!"

Topshop petite stonewash skinny jeans: "I'm having a '80s moment! It's nice to find a pair of jeans that fits me perfectly. I'm only 5'1."

Marc Jacobs black leather tote with gold hardware: "This is like a Fashion Week survival bag. I can literally carry everything in it and it goes with every outfit."

Manolo Blahnik black suede pointed-toe pumps: "I don't know how I got through my first few fashion weeks without Manolo pumps. They're so comfortable and make the most simple jeans look super sexy."

Maje black 'Flounce' skirt: "Anyone who knows me knows I'm a sucker for flared miniskirts. This one goes with everything from my tuxedo jacket to an old pullover sweater."
