NEW YORK –Mother Nature is clearly not a fashionista.
An impending blizzard forced Michael Kors to arrive at New York Fashion Week’s Project Runway show on Friday in – gasp – Uggs.
“I came in looking like Pam Anderson,” he joked backstage, where the offending boots had been traded for tasteful black leather.
Marc Jacobs postponed his Monday night show until Thursday, citing delivery problems, but for the most part Fashion Week went on with the show. IMG Fashion said organizers remained in contact with city officials including the Mayor’s office about potential weather problems, but that they had planned for an extra layer of tenting for the venue and more heat at Lincoln Center along with crews to help with snow and ice.
