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.
