For the Spring 2010 Collection, we were commissioned to create a space evocative of a 1940's Hollywood soundstage, replete with vintage props and lighting fixtures strewn across the runway. Seeking elegance as well an "obstacle course" the space was to seem effortless and textured.

We expanded the runway to its full 22'-0" width, laying a plywood floor and a haphazardly draped old muslin cloth backdrop. The models would follow any of 4 paths marked in colored spike tape along the runway, leading them up a staircase, through a rain curtain, past a wind machine and around vintage Kleigl lighting fixtures. The warm tones and sun-dappled painted textures worked seamlessly with the Collection to present an elegant and chic Spring show.
