New York City became the first city to organize the world's fashion week, followed by London, Milan and Paris. Fashion show of designer collections for fall / winter was held last February 10 to 17, while collections Spring / Summer will be held 13 to 20 September 2011.
Fashion week was attended by media personalities and celebrities, as well as about 100,000 guests and a number of volunteers from fashion schools, such as FIT or Parsons School of Design. The entire event was covered by local TV station, TV 25, and aired more than 150 hours.
Since September 2010, New York Fashion Week venue moved to Damrosch Park at Lincoln Center complex. Entrance and facade of this building is located between the Metropolitan Opera House and the David H. Koch Theater. The guests will pass the red carpet to enter the lobby, where the schedule of fashion shows every day digital projection to the wall.
There are still many interesting things that can be found in front or behind the stage. Some of them as described here.
Abundant food
When it comes early enough, you can enjoy a variety of snacks in the backstage area. Types of food commonly served croissants, bagels, yogurt, ice cream, fruit, orange juice, and coffee (for breakfast), mini sandwiches, hummus and vegetables, pastries, mini cupcake (lunch), and pasta salad, salad, sandwiches, fruit, various cheeses, and pastries (afternoon or evening).
Victims of stilettos
The model can also be clumsy wear designer shoes that many of them high-heeled. About six model was unable to keep his balance and fell on the catwalk. Even so, high heels remain a necessity in the fashion show like this. Unless you have a lot of moves (such as VIP guests rather than derived directly in front of Lincoln Center), flat shoes must be worn.
To avoid slipping on the shoe model, in fact there are already responsible fashion stylist to dress the models. One of his tasks to scuff the soles basis to create attraction on the floor. Thus, the model will not fall.
Crazy free drinks
While attending fashion week, you surely will meet the people who dressed up. However, when I saw there are bottles of Starbucks Frappuccino served free in the fridge, they go crazy and fight each other. They do not just take one, but two, three, even four bottles at once and store it in the bag. Tacky, yes? Throughout the day officers refill the fridge with drinks Frapps, Fiji waters, and Probotic Kefir Smoothie.
TRESemme hair care products also have a booth that provides a goodie bag containing products. Such as beverages, many guests back and forth to the booth to take two or three goodie bags.
Each grab a seat
Seats for the invitees usually already attached the name and company. However, the seats are often occupied by other people who want to watch from the most strategic places. They are also very thick skin, sometimes pretending not to speak English or do not flinch at all from the seat serobotannya.
Models must be willing to sacrifice his appearance
When watching shows like America's Next Top Models, you can see models of women candidates who could not stop crying when I have to be a makeover. In fact, when it was undergoing this profession, they must be willing ruffled by the designers. For example, let the eyebrows in-bleaching to perform at the Jason Wu fashion show.
Paparazzi mengganas
Unlike in Los Angeles, in New York City, people will not find many paparazzi. Only during fashion week, paparazzi become malignant in this city. Often with their aggressive menjeprat-jepretkan camera toward the women tall blond even though they do not know who she is. Anyway, not to be outdone the others!
The environment was less elegant
Guests will surely be amazed when they entered the tents at Lincoln Center. However, the tents are actually not very impressive. You need to go through a long street, which on either side there is a generator, to access the backstage area. In this area also provided portable toilets, which often smelled dreadful.
Everywhere there are celebrities
Like fashion week in New York certainly will not miss the celebrity. This is an opportunity for guests to mingle with faces that only they see in magazines daily and observe their behavior. Many also turned out just busy fiddling with his Blackberry.
Schedule is so dense
Although invited to all sessions of the fashion show, you can not possibly attend them all one by one. The show also frequently ngaret making it difficult for the invitation to attend another show on time.
Free, free ...
A variety of interesting gifts distributed during fashion shows or parties during fashion week takes place. You not only can get a shampoo, lipstick, or a lotion that travel-size versions, but also jeans, hair products, makeup, gift cards, tote bags, and so forth.
