Designers affected by 911

Today, there are 250 New York fashion week shows, 2 times more than in 2001. Here are some designers who talk about the 911 impact on them.

Peter Som: at that time my business was just beginning. I still worked in my apartment, when I was only 31 years old, and I still feel like a kid who has just learnt to walk. My memory of 911 was that I was sitting in West Village's apartment and sewing my clothes. My intern called me to turn on the TV.

Rebecca Taylor: my show was scheduled for that morning. I stayed up all night, preparing for the show. Everyone was talking about the 911 incident at that time, but we kept on doing our work. It was not until an hour later that we realized the seriousness of the matter. When Fern Mallis came, she informed us that the show was cancelled and the models could go back.

Douglas Hannant: we arranged for the show at 10 a.m. that day. We had arrived at Bryant Park for several hours, and began to receive various interviews in the background. Suddenly, it happened.

Anna Wintour: our editor has asked me for 10-12 designers who need help. Carolina Herrera has been very generous in lending us the show, and they have the chance to show their clothes.

Rebecca Taylor:, when Vogue contacted me, I really felt flattered. I was so lucky that I could get the chance. Our funds were so limited that we could hardly afford to eat any more.

Anna Wintour: saw that everyone in the industry was helping each other. I was very happy, though it was just a little thing, but it made us realize that we were not so easily defeated. After this event, we founded CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund to help designers who have dreams.
