Dior Brings Biggest Resort Show Ever to Brooklyn

For its cruise 2015 runway show, Christian Dior shuttled more than 900 guests to Brooklyn—many via branded ferries.

May 20, 2014

Most guests that attended the fashion show heeded Dior's advice to take one of several chartered ferries that left every 10 minutes from the East River pier at 35th Street directly to the Navy Yard. On board, champagne was served and even all the seats were individually wrapped in Dior cloth with the fashion house's name embroidered on the headrests. Following the show, the same ferries shuttled guests back to Manhattan for dinner and an after-party.

Two guests could each book one of two rooms—Bridal Suite (pictured) and Jesus Room—which was composed of 12- by 4-foot rental wall panels faced with MDF and covered with wallpaper.
