| Gen Art Debuts New Garde Presentation |
| The arts and entertainment organization brought a new style of show—involving live model vignettes—to its New York Fashion Week presentation. |
|
Three years ago in Los Angeles, Lee Trimble (named Gen Art’s fashion director at the beginning of this year) created a different format for the organization’s fashion program, dubbed “the New Garde,” and this year she brought it to February’s New York Fashion Week. The museumlike presentation at the Waterfront, with models posing in display booths and vignettes, eliminated the risk of delayed starts and poor views from the back row—allowing guests to view the designs up close over a two-hour period, examining the fall lines from Geren Ford, Form, and ChrisHabana. XA, the Experiential Agency’s creative director, Darren Andereck, and executive producer Jessie Loma worked with Trimble, and the designers to produce the event. The event drew some 1,400 attendees, including Project Runway winner Jay McCarroll.
