First off, congrats to the Phillies for pushing a Game 6 of the World Series!
Below are the photographs from the Christian Siriano show at Mercedes Benz Fashion Week at the Bryant Park Tents in New York City. It seems just like yesterday that he was on Project Runway and then last season, Fall 2009 collection, he was showing at The Salon. The Salon is the smallest of three tents at Bryant Park. Fast forward six months latest and business and investors must be good because Christian was showing at The Promonade which is a venue two and a half to three times bigger(I’m guessing here) than The Salon.
I was front and center for this show and Christian chose to have a single model line on a very very wide gray-blue runway. I would estimated they removed four rows of seats for the extra wide runway. It looked like the ocean as you can see from his blues and wave inspired collection. It reminded me of Leanne Marshall’s “wave inspired” collection from Season Five of Project Runway. Anyways, Enjoy the photos. For those that want to be a runway fashion photographer, all images were shot with a Canon 5D Mark II, 300L 2.8 IS at ISO 400, 1/320, f 4 and Kelvin was adjusted manually to maybe 3200? The lighting was PERFECT. All I did to these photos was +6 contrast + 6 Saturation and 20% unsharp mask in Photoshop. I would say about 75% of the shows I am shooting at ISO 800-1000, but ISO 400 makes me happy =]]
