Locals part of Fashion Week, too
Earlier this week, I gave a shout out to a local guy who is part of the Fashion Week scene. Matthew Henson, 23, of Long Branch is an assistant at Seventh House Public Relations in New York City. He's been busy all week helping to check in guests attending the Akiko Ogawa, Charlotte Ronson, Benjamin Cho and Issa shows.
But Matthew isn't the only Jersey Shore person who is part of the Fashion Week scene. Here are some others we bumped into this week.
* Kaajia Bruck, an account executive with Alison Brod Public Relations, is originally from Rumson. Bruck, 26, now lives in New York City and has been working with Alison Brod for about four years.
Bruck was one of the Alison Brod team working at a launch event to herald the arrival of the new Coach fragrance. The fragrance is to be sold exclusively at Coach boutiques beginning in March.
The Alison Brod team, including Bruck, also staffed the showings by Jill Stuart and Alice and Olivia.
* Corinne McCormack's eyewear and eyewear accessories are part of the accessories
exhibit at the Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week tents at Bryant Park.
McCormack is originally from Long Branch. Her eyewear is carried in Nordstrom, Bloomingdale's, Lord and Taylor and will soon be carried at Jan's Optical in Eatontown.
And McCormack's account executive, Allison Lomasky (at right in photo with McCormack), is also a Jersey Shore homegirl. She's from Freehold Twp.
* Last but not least, a big shout out to Willie Hall, who is almost a Jersey Shore homegirl, since she lives in New Brunswick. Hall is one of those all-important people around the Tents with a headset.
She does a little bit of everything - from corralling the volunteers working the tents, to holding seats of VIP's, to directing pedestrian traffic inside the venues and keeping us media types in line.
Hall, 44, has an interesting background herself. She studied design in high school, but then opted for a career in nursing while doing seamstress work on the side. Then, four years ago, she decided to get back into fashion full time. Now, she's doing a little bit of everything - designing, styling, and dealing with the hordes at Fashion Week.
