Copa: In your opinion, why do you think fashion shows continue to capture the interest of the attendees?
Barbara: That is easy, who does not LOVE fashion? Fashion shows, like art and music, are entertainment. They are lifestyle events similar to national sporting events. The excitement of seeing the latest trends and styles, attending after-parties, meeting new people and the overall networking in the area breeds business, branding, and attracts the money and “The Rich and Famous! “The fashion shows offer up and coming designers to showcase their fashions. One of the designers, Adore Me, was just bought by Victoria Secrets for $400 Million!
