l.a.m.b#FASHIONWEEK 2010

New York Fashion Week has kicked off, with Gwen Stefani one of the first designers to show a collection.

The star was debuting her new LAMB clothing line, and brought her 17-month-old son Zuma along for moral support. The tot was dressed in a miniature version of Gwen's black leather jacket, teamed with jeans and slicked back hair.

Gwen posed with models before the show started, with many of the crown so mesmerised by the clothes on display, they did not notice the 40-year-old teetering on a stepladder to give her a good view from the back of the room.

The clothes were hip and edgy, with models wearing dark eye make-up and bright red lips. Tops were draped and layered, balanced out by tight trousers and over-sized bags.

The event is the first of the four fashion weeks in the industry calendar, followed by London, Milan and Paris. New York Fashion Week is seen as pivotal, with a number of big name designers choosing to debut their collections in the city.
