Hello/Good-bye: Fashion Week At Bryant Park… No More!

From A-list celebrities and Industry VIP’s, to volunteers and fashion wanna-bees, NYC Fashion Week was swarming with a variety of the most stylish (and not-so-stylish) dwellers of the “concrete jungle”.  I, of course, was caught up in the middle of it all.  The lines can be infinite, the shows never start on time, the gift bags continue to shrink, and after the first few shows (with some exceptions), fashion literally begins to repeat itself.  Yet, we crave this predictable mayhem like another season of The Real Housewives!  What will stick with me the longest, is a bitter-sweet farewell to over a decade of bi-annual visits to the tents at Bryant Park.

As the runway lights took their final stroll down the catwalk, I felt a bit nostalgic while viewing Tommy Hilfiger’s Fall 2010 collection; for it was this American designer that served me my first taste of 7th on Sixth as a runway model.  Now, when the designers retreat to their workshops to create masterpieces for the next season, workers will begin to deconstruct the temporary establishment at Bryant Park for the last time.  However, closing the doors of the tents opens up new opportunities of joining yet another elite group.  I can now share exclusive stories of how things “used to be”. I also look forward to being a part of the initiation of the new venue.  LINCOLN CENTER, HERE WE COME!!!
