If "Ralph Lauren was borin' til I wore him," what was Vera Wang before rapper Kanye West and his fiancee walked into the tent for her afternoon show?
But if you thought the platinum-selling artist was star power, you clearly didn't see the women bookending a 10-seat section along the middle of the runway.
Anna Wintour, editor of Vogue and basically "God" when it comes to the fashion kingdom, anchored one side of this section. With her bob cut and oversized black sunglasses on, Wintour was her classic self. Stoic, expressionless and captivating to watch.
Ten seats and one aisle to her right was Nina Garcia, the editor of Elle Magazine and a judge on "Project Runway," the fashion industry's reality competition with Heidi Klum. (Their show is Friday morning at 9 a.m. in case you want to go to work late and attempt to sneak in to the tents at Bryant Park.)
Garcia, a mighty powerful woman in the fashion industry, expresses herself during a show. Wait, let me rephrase. Garcia actually moves during a show.
It was a rather intriguing dichotomy. I wonder what the relationship between these two almighty women is like. I'm guessing it's occupationally friendly at best. But I could be wrong. If any reader knows of articles written about this topic, please post the links in the comments section.
