Designer Marc Keighery won the Fashion Week star race by having Macy Gray perform live at his show.
Designers are prepared to shell out thousands of dollars for celebrity appearances.
So far Marc Keighery wins on cool points, with new soul diva Macy Gray performing live at the show for his Marcs label - and wearing his sequinned trousers. Now a divorced mother of four and approaching her fifth decade, Ms Hall strutted the younger models off the catwalk. So pity the inexperienced young thing who had to step out after her, looking like a newborn colt following Tie the Knot down the runway. But that is not the point. A savvy marketer, Ms Brown, and her clothing manufacturer husband Danny Avidan realised from the start of Fashion Week, five years ago, that a big name in their show would guarantee maximum media coverage for the event, no matter what the fashion editors thought of the collection.
