FNO Public Fashion Show
After the fashion week madness, I was left questioning whether livestreaming almost every fashion show was the appropriate route for the fashion industry to take. It seems, Vogue and the CFDA were listening, or at least I feel as if they were— insert fashion remake of the new HP commercials.
As part of Fashion’s Night Out (FNO) this fall, Vogue and SPEC Entertainment will be hosting the largest public fashion show in the history of New York Fashion Week.
On September 7, 2010, Lincoln Center will be hosting approximately 1,500 fashion lovers lucky enough to get their hands on tickets before they sell out. These people will watch about 200 models walk the runway in Vogue-worthy fall trends.
Part of the ticket sale proceeds will go to New York City AIDS Fund.
Since the CFDA and Vogue are in the mood to make groundbreaking changes to the fashion industry— public fashion shows and a fall show during spring/summer fashion week— can we please have a little powwow about the treatment and compensation of interns?
The topic has been on everyone’s mind lately, and if you two major powerhouses say, “jump,” the rest of the industry will ask, “how high?” How about let’s start with compensation for commuting or something, that’s easy, right? Thanks!
p.s. Those stores planning on taking part in the FNO festivities on September 10, can register now. The deadline is June 15, 2010.
