As the annual sartorial shindig known as Fashion Week brings models and designers flocking to New York, some of hip-hop's finest are making the scene as well.

When Tommy Hilfiger staged his Tommy Jeans Fall 2000 Men's and Women's on Thursday, Mary J. Blige, TLC's Chilli, Eve, Kidada Jones, LFO, Michael Fredo, Mandy Moore, Pink, and guest DJs Q-Tip and Mark Ronson were among the invited guests.

The following night, the launch of Pelle Pelle/Marc Buchanan's Fall 2000 Collection was expected to draw Rakim, Naughty By Nature's Treach and his wife Pepa (of Salt-N-Pepa), Slick Rick, Drag-On, Swizz Beatz, and others. Pelle Pelle has outfitted such stars as Dru Hill, Usher, and Bobby Brown, and also expects Tracie Spencer, Solé, Dave Hollister, Brand Nubian's Lord Jamar, Calvin Richardson, and Cam'Ron to turn up for Friday night's show.

The show, part of the annual 7th On 6th Fashion Week, is set for New York's Bryant Park.
