Festivales

An archway of colored balloons (acquired locally through the Village Party Store) marked the entrance to Monday evening's presentation for the Stella McCartney resort 2013 collection at the New York Marble Cemetery.

To access the main space for the event, guests had to walk through a long passageway. As a fun diversion, the producers set up a series of funhouse mirrors that hinted at the presentation's carnival motif.

As with all McCartney presentations, the models were encouraged to mingle and interact with guests. At the Monday event the models, clad in the resort 2013 collection, played games and chatted with guests. In terms of groupings, the gathering was more organic than seasons past, with models arranged together according to the patterns or colors of their garments.

Carnival games, such as the ring toss, were mostly positioned against one far wall in a straight line. All games featured some sort of special Stella McCartney branding, but done in a playful and casual manner.
