And So Fashion Week Begins...Even though New York's Mercedes Benz Fashion Week F/W 2012 starts tomorrow, several designers decided to kick off early. Here we caught up with Dennis Cleneennen for Aveda as he put the finishing touches on his model for the HELIOS and LUNA show. "It's big and my way of honoring Amy Winehouse," says Dennis.  "It's and tall and whimsical...dressed but youthful and playful. It will be tough for these models to get in a cab afterward. Certainly NOT car hair!"
