Bravo: At this year’s event, a special scholarship was announced in memory of Mary Krug, a longtime Neiman Marcus merchant who was Vice President and Divisional Merchandise Manager of Intimate Apparel. More than $50,000 will awarded to students at the Fashion Institute of Technology, studying in the Merchandising Program, which was Mary’s specialty.
The biggest thrill for us though was meeting the immensely talented six Student Council Design Contest finalists from FIT---
All the ensembles were incredible, extremely detailed and took months to craft on the mannequins that served as fit models. We wanted them all and no doubt, our BF did too-we sent him pics from the event ha ha.
We chatted with all of the contestants-who told us the modern and vintage materials used often served as the starting point for their designs. FIT and industry vet Alexandra Armillax, their professor- was rightfully gushing about each design.
Interesting -as this was a very couture like way to start off NY Fashion Week…and no doubt-more intricate than most anything we would see. Dita Von Teese-soon to bring her own collection stateside--- should check this out, for sure.
