Talk of the Tents

When actress Christina Ricci saw the absolute chaos of flashbulbs surrounding fellow star Nicole Richie at the DKNY show this morning, she was a bit peeved.

"I think the media attention's fine until it becomes a weird frenzy," she says.

Then why even come to the media circus that is Fashion Week?

"I usually don't go to a lot of shows in New York. I go to the shows overseas," Ricci says. "But I love Donna Karan's work and her attention to quality of fabric."

Needless to say, we couldn't get close enough to Richie -- or seatmate Winona Ryder -- to get in even a quick question. C'est la Fashion Week.
