The difference in the show production was not only evident by the timely show starts, but also futuristic designs and an extreme level of model diversity on the runway, a hot point of discussion in previous NYFW years. The crowd also erupted in a worthy round of applause as 4x Special Olympics US Gymnastics Champ, Chelsea Werner, walked the Ivory Couture Clothing Co show.
"With all the hype this season being about not showing during NYFW, we believe that fashion folks need to relook at why shows are important to not only the billion-dollar fashion community but to the designers who rely on this tradition to showcase their collections. We understand the need of keeping this ritual while simultaneously adapting, and even trailblazing, the desire for newness in this ever-changing world. The days when people were excited to be in the tents is the anticipation we are bringing back," states Adriana Marie, CEO & Founder of AMCONYC. "We are especially proud that our designers were so inclusive of all races and even those with challenges such as Down Syndrome."
