This show took place in the Theatre District as the models who have been known to walk the designer’s show, showcased his collection on 45th street and made their way to the Shubert Theater with Rufus Wainwright performing. COVID-19 protocols were used in creating this production and as the models enjoyed the show, they maintained 6ft distance between one another.
