Major break-through. Someone, who seems to have some tie to fashion wonderboy Marc Jacobs, has replied to one of my email pleas to be admitted to his show on Monday night, which is so exclusive, it's not even listed on the official Fashion Week schedule. Here's what she said:
"Dear Allison, Hope you are well. Thank you so much for your interest in the Marc Jacobs show. Unfortunately, at this time, we are at capacity and cannot accommodate your request." Sad that this is progress -- acknowledgement, at least, by some person named Autumn Furr, who works for some publicity firm called KCD that seems to have ties to the amazing Marc Jacobs. And sadder still is my response: "I'll settle for standing room!"
Thankfully, not all shows are this difficult to get into. But the system is not exactly warm and welcoming. Some lesser-known designers (bless their hearts!) send invitations to any reporter registered to cover Fashion Week. But for the bigger shows, requests must be submitted and considered by a long line of assistants before admission is actually granted. They send the invitation, you have to RSVP and then they call you back with a seat assignment, or the lowly "standing room." Still, things do often miraculously "open up" at the last minute. So I'm not giving up on Marc just yet.
