The debut of the SIDEWALK CATWALK mannequin parade project was in June of 2010. THE FASHION CENTER SIDEWALK CATWALK PRESENTED BY LF USA was the first public art event to celebrate the home of American fashion and the design talent and suppliers who have made the Fashion District one of New York City’s great neighborhoods.

Art and fashion were embodied in an enduring industry symbol, the mannequin. The platonic form of the mannequin, decorated and adorned, using traditional and modern materials of the fashion industry, took the New York City spotlight in a summer-long catwalk display.

	THE FASHION CENTER SIDEWALK CATWALK PRESENTED BY LF USA included custom-built Ralph Pucci mannequins “walking” down Broadway in the Fashion District, between Times Square and Herald Square, each modeling a bold, one-of-a-kind manifestation of its designer’s artistic vision.
