The next New York Fashion Week begins on Feb. 6, 2020, and in honor of the major style event, we're taking a stroll down memory lane to reminisce about what NYFW looked like back in the 2000s. Curious to see which stars were on hand for the biggest shows? Let's get started with a quintessentially 2006 photo of Lauren Conrad, Heidi Montag and Ryan Cabrera!
