Set designer Shona Heath helped create the look of the show, which included a 50-foot runway covered in a hand-painted canvas inspired by the Cotillion Room's wall paneling. To recreate an authentic Parisian haute couture experience, the producers also hung 20 chandeliers at varying heights from the ceiling.

Chagoury Couture Debuts With All-White Looks on Design Center Runway May 5, 2010



The Marc Jacobs show, delayed by four days due to sample delivery issues, came with a strict mandate this season: no flash photography allowed until the finale. Guests arriving at the 69th Regiment Armory were greeted by a massive indoor "sun" installed in the circular runway space, designed with Stefan Beckman and a reference to artist Ólafur Elíasson's weather project (a 2003 installation at the Tate Modern in London), that cast a monochromatic sepia light throughout the venue. As the models emerged for their second walk leading up to the finale, the light turned white, showcasing the collection's true colors and attention to detail.

Syzygy Events International took inspiration from Jason Wu's black and white spring 2013 show and the checkered pattern of Louis Vuitton when it came to designing this year's stage and runway. Three rows of Edison lights flanked the checkered wall in an homage to the glitz of the Grammys stage. The team created a circular runway with models stopping at every quarter mark as they made their way around to pose for photographers and supporters at the dinner tables.
