Rent the Runway: Syracuse

Rent the Runway Fall Fashion Show, Syracuse

Bravo to the students at Syracuse University for staging an effective and efficient fashion show for the Rent the Runway (RTR) program last week.  The concept was to promote renting versus retail, or to simply find it, book it, wear it, and return it.

The festivities were held at Stolkin Auditorium (Physics Building).

Instead of opting for a trunk show the organizers were bold enough to convince the student models to meander down the curved stairs toward the front of the auditorium.  Despite the degree of difficulty, the execution was flawless.

And oh yes, my daughter was a big fan of the gift bag from L’Oreal Paris.
