Click here to see the general video of the staging of a lingerie fashion show.
If you ever want to see what goes on behind the scenes at major fashion shows, the person to know is sometime local girl Lynne O'Neill, who's a fixture at New York Fashion Week. If I'm not around, ha!, she's usually the littlest person in the room, but she's also the toughest and most together, calling the shows and making sure everything goes on smoothly so the designers don't have to worry (as much).
She's featured on a new original YouTube show called "Party Builders" (formerly known as "Velvet Rope"), which officially went live yesterday. The first two episodes are about a SevenBar Benefit and lingerie fashion show that was held at Cipriani's restaurant last October. The video shows the thought, preparation and what it takes to put together the kind of shows that generate buzz.
You can read more about Lynne in a story I wrote last year, though the pictures have disappeared from our archive site: http://bit.ly/ez1zvo
She was back in town over the holidays and is due to return in March for some fashion-related biz. Stay tuned ...
In the meantime, New Party Builder videos will go live every Wednesday. I like the intimacy they bring to happenings that on the ground can be quite overwhelming.
