NYC.... Nima Show

This year I was pleasantly surprised by the inventiveness of the lighting designers at a few budget concious collections. The idea to keep the lighting costs down seemed common, and the result was often quite exciting. While the runways at the main venue in Bryant Park were illuminated in a way so that every stitch of clothing was visible, the off site venues were lit for a dramatic effect. The lighting at the smaller venues was often so moody that as a buyer I might have been thrown by the artful presentation. It was interesting to see how a budget constraint might affect the look of the garments.
