Friday, September 8, 2006, The Promenade at <a href="http://www.bryantpark.org/calendar/sep.php">Bryant Park's</a> Tents, 6th Avenue between 40th & 42nd Streets, New York City--<a href="http://www.nicolemiller.com/">Nicole Miller's</a> Spring 2007 Fashion Show: On opening day of <a href="http://www.olympusfashionweek.com/spring2007/designers/nicole_miller/index.html">Olympus Fashion Week</a> from seat H-7-10 I watched the fashion show of legendary New York Fashion designer and American Fashion Icon <a href="http://www.nicolemiller.com/">Nicole Miller</a> and afterwards went backstage. This was the first fashion show attended under the tents by Christopher London and appropriately it was that of <a href="http://www.nicolemiller.com/">Nicole Miller</a>. Before I knew anything about fashion, I became aware of <a href="http://www.nicolemiller.com/">Nicole Miller</a>. In 1987 my first "hip" tie purchase was a black Nicole Miller design which I wore with a Brooks Brothers suit. While I find the glitzy and glamourous world of High Fashion somewhat intimidating to say the least, <a href="http://www.nicolemiller.com/">Nicole Miller</a> embodies all that is wonderful and special about the New York Fashion Industry. Nicole is also very active philanthropically with some of New York's and the Hamptons most important charitable organizations. Her soulful and accomodating demeanor and creative and engaging designs make Nicole Miller and her designs the choice of many leading ladies of high society, who frankly can choose to wear anything and they often choose <a href="http://www.nicolemiller.com/">Nicole Miller</a>. Nicole's designs, however, like the designer are not intended only for High Society. Her designs have remained timely and fresh for two decades (1986-2006)with wide appeal across a broad cross section of the female population. From my vantage point it seemed like the most beautiful, ecletic and diverse array of New Yorkers, including a who's who of high society, younger and older, gathered under this tent to witness and celebrate the designs of <a href="http://www.nicolemiller.com/">Nicole Miller</a>. Under the Tents in Bryant Park on this opening day of <a href="http://www.olympusfashionweek">Olympus Fashion Week</a>, I learned and witnessed first hand how fashion is very much a spectator sport in New York City. After leaving the tents I headed to Capitale located on the Bowery's <a href="http://www.lowereastsideny.com/">Lower East Side</a> to capture <a href="http://manhattan.smugmug.com/gallery/1869578">the fashion show</a> of her protege, <a href="http://www.nicoleromano.com">Nicole Romano</a> who like Nicole Miller received her training at the world famous <a href="http://www.risd.edu/">Rhode Island School of Design</a>, otherwise known simply as <a href="http://www.risd.edu/">RISD</a>(pronounced "Rizdy").
