Each season during Fashion Week, some sponsor booths draw the big crowds, while others just fizzle. We went to the tents to get the reaction from guests and celebrities alike.
What do you think of the booths?
“This has been one of the best shows [pointing to the booths from Moët & Chandon and Lycra]. I’ve seen lots of lovely presentations all around.”
—Nina Garcia, fashion editor, Elle, and Project Runway judge
“This [MetLife] booth is really functional. The computers and the flat TV tuning you into the fashion shows are smart. I’ve also learned more about MetLife with these brochures. Plus, the comfy seats have drawn a lot of interesting people here as the unofficial press lounge.”
—Patricia Mosley, Patricia Mosley Enterprises
“My favorite booth is the public bathroom booth [laughs]. The Moët & Chandon vibe is the best. It's got that spirit of lounging and hanging out and drinking. I think that's what Fashion Week is really all about in the end—having a drink.”
—Robert Verdi, style expert, Fashion Police
—Lauren, Harper's Bazaar
“I like the Lycra booth. It showcases in a more fashion-oriented way, with Zac Posen-dressed mannequins and the friendly models out in front. Even if you don’t stop inside, it’s tied into Fashion Week and you think about it while you’re in the tent.”
—Sydney, F.I.T. graduate student
“I love the champagne booth; they had those little tops on the champagne, so you could relax in there and drink from the bottle.”
—Lisa Gastineau, The Gastineau Girls
“Fashion Week has been interesting for me—a learning experience—because I’m working here with Full Frontal Fashion. The booths definitely add to the excitement of being a part of such a fantastic production.”
—Carmen Electra, actress
