FASHION WEEK



Fashion week takes place twice a year in Bryant Park. A mega tent is erected encompassing one-half of the park or about a third of a city block. In the fall, the spring fashions are displayed and in the spring the fall fashions are displayed. The audience is generally the press and buyers from around the world.

Although the public is not invited, many linger at either the front entrance to see the celebrities or the back entrance to see the models. At the back entrance I overheard one model being interviewed by a journalist. "What is your Style?" "City Chic" "Who did your top, skirt, shoes, purse, etc” The model rattled off designer names like she was listing her friends.

At another time I saw a Japanese model being interviewed by three different Japanese television stations.

The photographers were everywhere waiting for THE picture. Of course, the models more than agreed to be photographed and easily assumed the “pose” position. Of the photographers I saw, (about 20) only two were women. I don't know who is pictured about but she caused quite a stir when she arrived. The only comment I heard from her was "Well, New York is a small town after all in the fashion world." Yes inde
