I had the pleasure of working backstage at the 3.1 Phillip Lim Chivas Collective show featuring his 2012 Fall Menswear collection.
The weekend was insane. I helped to do things like make the model boards, steam clothes, photoshop pictures, organize the racks, translate Chinese to the tailors and dressers, dress the models and stand in the front row to collect the clothes of the performers.
Honestly it was the coolest, most fabulous night of my life despite how hectic it was the whole weekend. It was cool to be able witness the acute attention to detail that goes into every aspect of a runway show.
I was too nervous to introduce myself to Mr. Lim, but he was pleasant even when I asked him a stupid question with an obvious answer about where to post a picture. It was amazing to work with such a lovely and successful team.
Below are some pictures from the weekend (more to come later):
