Fashion is no longer exclusive, at least for this season. Once the exclusive stomping ground of celebrities and the fashion elite, the recent fashion weeks saw many labels, from Alexander Wang to Gucci, streaming their shows online.

Who needs front-row seats when mere mortals can watch models strut down the runways at the same time as US Vogue's editor-in-chief, Anna Wintour?

At the New York shows, Calvin Klein, Marc Jacobs, Michael Kors, Rodarte and Tommy Hilfiger all streamed their fall/winter runway shows live on their labels' websites.

At the Milan Fashion Week, Dolce & Gabbana and Giorgio Armani were among the many designers who were streamed live on the Internet.
