I completely missed the Sidewalk Catwalk event while I was in Europe but luckily I have plenty of photos and inside info from participants. The Sidewalk Catwalk public art event celebrates the home of American fashion and the design talent who have made the Fashion District one of New York City’s great neighborhoods. From June 24 to September 3, SIDEWALK CATWALK you can see on display 30 mannequin with the artistic interpretations from New York’s leading designers and two student design teams from Parsons and FIT. The one of a kind mannequins can be found on Broadway from Times Square to Herald Square (map). You can learn more about the event and visit their website at: Sidewalk-Catwalk.com
