Relying on high-tech rappelling rope and form-fitting body harnesses, the
fashion models/athletes descended down the building and incorporated a mix of
acrobatics and dance, while they maintained their best high-fashion steely
gaze. Upon landing at street level, the athletes were joined by more than 60
female and male models that walked the runway on the Plaza, keeping their feet
firmly on the ground.
"We want to inspire our guests with our fall collection and want them to
have fun with fashion," said John Remington, vice president of communications,
Target. "Doing a runway show down the side of one of New York's most iconic
buildings was a great way to do just that."
The Target Vertical Fall Fashion Show at Rockefeller Center took place on
Wednesday, July 27, 2005 at 12:00 noon and 7:00 p.m.
