Now that the dust is settling on NYC after thousands of designers exit back to their respective cities worldwide, it's time to get a bit introspective about the show. Why do we make the trip every year? For the new products? For the networking? For the offsite exhibitions? For the opportunity to get wasted on someone else's dime in a Meatpacking loft? In the spirit of thinking about the "why", fueledbycoffee went undercover to observe NYC Design Week and ICFF in the field. The following field notes aim to reveal the forces that truly drive NYC Design Week. Enjoy.

Did Yves Behar really end up on the pedestrian side of the velvet rope?
Very nice, your post its 'kind of wierd and creative and I love it'!
Nice work FBC -
no he didn't. I talked to him later that night at the Vitra party.
it is true though, a few well known designers did in fact not make it past the huge bouncer.
I really enjoyed these characters, they were all incredibly accurate and amusing.
