The Set NYFW S/S 2016 Show
The Set and Freedom Ladder presented a NYFW Floor & Showcase Exhibition S/S 2016 with: Meaghan Paige, Amy Dietz, Caitlin Farradas, Emma Berg, Carlen Manasse New York, Chinaza Moses, Lyne Cosmetics, artist Parker McComb, Ari J Collection, Cecile’s Bath & Body, Charmaine King, Jacqueline Kline with tables and Inspired NY, Demi Jing Yang, RedGhagra and Autumnlin Kietponglert sending models down the runway their latest in fashion (for Spring/Summer 2016) at the Holy Apostles Ballroom. The event raised money to help end child trafficking via a graphic novel called the Abolitionista!
I basically never do any New York Fashion Week events but this one stood out to me because it had an Indian-inspired designer (RedGhagra) and it was also geared to help out a social cause. It can be a lot of work, for the models and the photographers, given the limited time there is to present an outfit and to photograph it well as the model moves down the runway. Plus the sheer number of events and parties would make shooting the many events during NYFW seem as crazy as CMJ Music Marathon is for music and concert photographers. To be honest, I’m not even sure this was an official NYFW showcase but it was held during NYFW and it was in Chelsea which is the new home of the NYFW events (it was moved from Lincoln Center recently due to zoning issues if I understand).
