What 5 ELLE Editors Need to Survive Fashion Week
New York Fashion Week has officially kicked off, and while it's definitely a privilege to look at beautifully constructed clothes for a living, it's still a job at the end of the day. And like with any gig, sometimes you need some hyper-specific things to get you through those high-stress, fast-paced days. Ahead, five ELLE and ELLE.com editors share they must-haves for making fashion week just a little easier.

The Fixer
Mother Denim
motherdenim.com
$408.00
Since September weather can be fickle I'll layer a tank top underneath incase it gets too hot and I need to roll down the sleeves and tie them around my waist.
Canapa Tote
Prada
rebag.com
$780.00
A large tote like this will help me schlep everything I need (a laptop, some snacks, maybe a pair of shoes) but look very chic while doing it.
Bliss Pen
Dosist
dosist.com
$2,019.00
"Feel the right amount of good," is this pen's tag line and after a 14 hour day that's exactly what I'll want to do.
Broadway Bike Short
Acabada Active
acabadaactive.com
$88.00
Working out is one way I stay sane during this high-stress week, so I'll pack a pair of bike shorts in my bag in case I can go straight from a show to a boxing class.

Flatform Universal
Anna Sui

$150.00
Fashion Month is basically a hike with intermittent periods of sitting, and Tevas are the most comfortable en-route footwear.
Vitamin C Powder
Versed

$19.99
Ive been following the Vitamin C discourse and want to incorporate it into my daily routine (which is basically just sunscreen and moisturizer right now).
Mint Chocolate
Rx Bar
rxbar.com
$25.99
I usually carry a ton of Rx bars and end up eating some and giving the rest out to my hangry pals. I like the mint chocolate flavor.
A Sand Book
Ariana Reines
amazon.com
$17.09
I bring a loaded-up Kindle for those waiting-for-the-show-to-start moments, but I also try to carry a physical book. This is one I'll be reading this season.

A black t-shirt in silk jersey is the perfect staple to have as a standby when in doubt about to wear on top.

I often carry all kinds of oils to rub or roll on, but this is the most important one in my arsenal as it soothes the pain of an unexpected headache.
Classic Lint Roller
Flint

$7.99
My boyfriend knows I am crazy about getting lint off my clothes and found this mini portable version for me. I dont leave the house without it.
Mini Laila Hoops

$230.00
These are the ideal everyday earring—simple and small—but more interesting than the ubiquitous hoop.
