When said out loud, "Fashion Week" has a double meaning — and for anyone who's ever been a part of all the action, feeling weak is not only par for the course, it's often the reason we love fashion to begin with. So, in honor of the moments of chaos, beauty, and excitement that made us feel weak, we present My Fashion Week-ness: a compilation of accounts from some of the industry's biggest players. They're spilling their most memorable stories from Fashion Weeks gone by, and the ones that keep them coming back for more.

Odds are, you'll be seeing a lot more of Chelsea Tyler: She's already an accomplished musician and model, and the extremely chill offspring of Aerosmith's frontman, Steven Tyler, just starred in Gap's comeback campaign and walked in that Philipp Plein show everyone's been talking about. Tyler has a long career ahead of her, but that doesn't mean she's abandoning her roots. Growing up with a famous father (and last name) made Tyler wise beyond her years, and part of what keeps her so grounded is her ability to tune out the noise. Her trick to doing so? Remembering something that her rockstar dad told her when she was a teen. We recently spoke with Tyler about what it was like to walk in her first fashion show (in Milan, no less), her amazing vintage T-shirt collection, and what she's learned from her dad that she'll hold onto forever. "I used to go to Fashion Week alone a lot. And it wasn't for any particular reason, or that I couldn't get someone to go with. It was just that when I first started modeling, I was living in New York by myself, and there were so many shows and presentations during Fashion Week where people are standing [versus seated shows]. And I had the most wonderful experience, because I could just blend in a little bit and watch how the whole thing go down. "It's really fascinating, the way [fashion shows] work: it always seems like it's not gonna come together, and then it does, perfectly, for a tiny, little moment. A fashion show or presentation is just a few minutes, really, and then the whole thing is over. And it's months and months of work and build-up, and people lose their heads trying to pull it all together. "But one awesome experience that really opened my eyes was when I walked in Tod's fashion show last year in Milan. It was my first runway experience, and seeing the backstage of a runway show like that was just incredible. There were so many people doing so many things, all at the same time. It was so frantic, and the energy level is so high...I'm always so impressed by the poised, calm, and almost stoic confidence that these girls exude as they come out of that manic environment. It was really cool to see the behind-the-scenes of all of that.
