Backstage Costs Of Fashion Week
by Hitha Forbes.
After 10 years of producing fashion shows, Thomas Onorato knows the importance of a well-run backstage.
“Just a couple years ago,” says Onorato, who, with partner Max Wixom, owns special-events company Onorato-Wixom, “I remember being backstage and an entire wall collapsed an hour before the show. People were screaming and the designer was freaking out. But instead of having a breakdown, we pulled it together and made it work despite adding additional cost to backstage production. Had we not factored in the potential for snafus in the budget, it [the fashion show] would have been a disaster.”
The world may see fashion models in exquisite clothes strutting down the runway during Fashion Week, but they rarely get a glimpse of the action behind the scenes or the associated costs. A designer once asked Onorato to change all the lights to a soft pink, so a celebrity walking in the show would look younger. The total cost: $20,000.
Miss Universe 2007: Miss Japan Riyo Mori
In a contest tainted by protests, a banned dress; a floor tumble and the withdrawal of one beauty queen on the grounds of the pageant degrades women, a Miss Japan was for the second time ever, crowned Miss Universe 2007 Monday night.Mori, 20, the 56th and second Japan winner of the title, was given her $US250,000 diamond-and-pearl crown by last year’s winner, Zuleyka Rivera of Puerto Rico, watched by a live audience of 10,000 and some 600 million television viewers worldwide.
Miss USA Rachel Smith, who slipped and fell to the floor during the evening gown competition and was jeered by the Mexican audience during the interview phase because as what they saw as US unfriendliness towards illegal immegrants, was the contest’s fourth runner-up.
Miss Sweden, Isabel Lestapier Winqvist, unexpectedly pulled out of the event because of complaints in her country that it degrades women.
