Parsons Fashion Critics Awards Benefit 1998 (Bob Bogen Productions), 1998 Apr 28
Scope and Contents
Two edited iterations of the the Parsons School of Design annual fashion show at the New York Marriott Marquis. The first (PC070205_VHS019), the longer of the two versions, covers the entire event. The video begins with a montage depicting preparation for the runway show, clips from the show, and post-show socalizing. A news clip follows the montage, celebrating Parsons student and recipient of the Student Designer of the Year Award, Ted Kim. Tommy Hilfiger is presented the Parsons Award by Arnold H. Aronson, chair of the Parsons Board of Governors and trustee of the New School University. Fashion editor Edith Raymond Locke announces the runway show. Designer Donald Brooks introduces the annual costume design showcase. The theme for this year's showcase is "Dining and Dancing at Count Dracula's Castle: Transylvania 1930s." The Gold Thimble awards are announced. Lesley Cadman is introduced as acting dean of Parsons.
The shorter version (PC070205_BETA03) of the above-described video includes much of the above-described footage, but stops prior to the start of the runway show.
