Let’s just say that – if you were too cool to be anywhere but Manhattan or the Mile this past Saturday – you missed out on one hell of a show. Don’t be too hard on yourself though; LIB’s here with your weekend recap. But, before we get into it, a HUGE thanks to the evening’s models, designers, vendors, hair and makeup artists, and event sponsors! With a special thanks to Tamar fromGroove, NY, who came in #FTW with a fabulous LED runway.
