Held in the Beaux Arts Court, some 550 guests dined on a menu prepared by Great Performances and sourced from its organic farm. 'The room has so much amazing architecture that I wanted to pare it down, not overtake it,' said Beckman. 'I couldn't really hang anything in the room, so the monoliths are installation-like and that became the video content in the room.' Glossy white floors also gave the stage a clean and contemporary aesthetic.

Content was delivered on nine screens rather than a single screen in the past. The Creative Group and N&N Films used the screens, the largest being 30-foot by 20-foot, to create dynamic content that gave a more personal look into the lives of each of the nominees and winners. 'The idea of a mosaic became an important starting point for the night,' said Beckman. 'It truly reflected New York fashion and all its layers.'

Nearly 10,000 square feet of original artwork was painted, by Oliphant Studios, onto the 19 24-foot-high fabric theatrical drops that surrounded the dramatic Marc Jacobs show backdrop and surround. The February 19 show, produced by KCD at the Park Avenue Armory, was a sensual recreation of Diana Vreeland's 'Red Room' living room, as inspired by a 'Garden in Hell' Jeremiah Goodman painting seen by Jacobs. The space measured 158 by 50 feet, with runway, stage, and seats all hand-painted to match. (Some 700 guests sat in Vreeland's 'living room' while models emerged from a gray version of the same room). 'Marc loved the idea of a trompe-l'oeil interior,' said set designer Stefan Beckman, who had less than 48 hours to transform the venue following the Tommy Hilfiger show.

The setting was the star of Spike Jonze and Jonah Hill’s 100% Lost Cotton Fashion Week play that doubled as Opening Ceremony’s spring show on September 7. Held at the iconic Metropolitan Opera House, the location wasn’t immediately clear from the address on the invitation: 109 Amsterdam Avenue turned out to be a loading dock, which guests were ushered through before finding their seats behind the curtain. The rare perspective for guests, facing the venue’s plush red seats and famous chandeliers, allowed them to watch the cast, which consisted of the likes of Karlie Kloss, John Cameron Mitchell, Bobby Cannavale, Catherine Keener, Rashida Jones, and Elle Fanning.

If there’s a large-scale venue in Manhattan, chances are Moncler has used it. For its February 8 Moncler Grenoble presentation, the high-fashion Italian skiwear brand took over the Hammerstein Ballroom to stage a Villa Eugenie-produced extravaganza. The event boasted 10 opera singers from the Pendulum Choir on oscillating pendulums that swayed as they sang in front of a stack of 60 illuminated boxes, each containing a model wearing an outfit from the fall collection. The nearly half-hour performance had a mandate to start on time in order to allow editors to make the dash across the East River to catch the Alexander Wang show.

Tasked with realizing Marc Jacobs’s vision of “Victorian surf,” longtime set designer Stefan Beckman devised an abstract beach at the 69th Regiment Armory on September 10 that melded visual cues ranging from the Paul McCartney show at the Park Avenue Armory to Burning Man in Nevada to the notion of artifice. Fully immersing the audience into the runway—a series of six concentric circular islands were built so editors would feel “washed up”—the weeklong load in marked the first time Jacobs had utilized all 25,000 square feet of the venue for a show.
