At Empire State Building, Versace chic with Deco style
It appears that fashion at the Empire State Building is ahead of the runways in Milan, or at least that’s what the landmark's press people are saying.
The Empire State Building is in the middle of a half-billion dollar renovation to restore the Art Deco mammoth to the way it looked when it was built in the 1930s. In the spirit of the project even the staff at the building got a makeover with Art Deco-inspired uniforms.
The uniforms are a bold burgundy with chevrons on the sleeves and custom-silk ties.
Now the people at the Empire State Building are happy to point out that Versace’s fall 2008 collection is surprisingly Empire State Building chic: Burgundy with a vintage ’30s flare.
