new york fashion week fall 2011

Flash Mobs, High-Altitude Drops, Skating Rinks, and the Season of the Stunt Show

That’s been the fashion show formula since time immemorial — well, since Paris in the thirties — but this past week in New York, that went out the window. Or rather, dropped from a great height via a crotch harness which was then unbuckled for the runway walk.
