So by now, you've probably read all about Michael Kors, Marc Jacobs, and Oscar de la Renta and what they're doing for spring. You've seen photo galleries of the big designers' collections, their backstage scenes, their favored beauty looks, their nail art for the season. Maybe you've read random people's thoughts about them on Twitter and Facebook. Those labels are can be great — but there's a lot more to fashion week than the marquee names. Here are six designers who held smaller shows and/or presentations during the just-ended New York fashion week, shows and/or presentations that I just happened to like very much.
