Ballet. Nina Simone. Bunny art. Catwalk. Miss New York. Moscow mules.
All of that was on display at New York Fashion Week’s Six Summit Gallery fashion art performance in the Port Authority bus terminal on Thursday, Sept 8.
Attendees could walk around and peruse the artwork — from sculptures to contemporary canvas paintings to photography. Complimentary “cocktails to go” from Merican Mules could be picked up at the bar. The flavors: Moscow Mule, Mexican Mule, Southern Mule and Tropical Mule.
After viewing the gallery and grabbing any one of the gingery drinks, everyone was called to sit down and enjoy the show.
An opera singer kicked things off, crooning around the cozy room. Then a ballerina pranced about. And Miss New York Taryn Smith belted her rendition of Nina Simone’s “Feeling Good.” Interspersed between all the performances were catwalks. Models showed off luxury handbags, high end dresses and chic street wear.
The event was part of the Six Summit Gallery, which hosted several other exhibits in the Port Authority bus terminal. Other exhibits included portraits of famous musicians, an artistic homage to New York City and more.
New York Fashion Week kicked off Sept 9 and ends Sept. 14 with buzzy appearances by the likes of Anna Wintour, Serena Williams and Lil Nas X.
