So what does it really take to host a fashion show in Times Square? Is it worth it for designers to invest in their own fashion shows? Christina Neault has all the answers. Christina always knew from her early days she wanted to immerse herself in the world of fashion. From consulting to runway shows and stage design, Christina’s calling towards fashion has taken her to every side of the industry — from early days in retail to an education at the Fashion Institute of Technology (FIT) in New York to the production of large-scale shows for nearly every major fashion house in the nation.
In this week’s episode, Kirsten Holtz Naim and Christina Neault sit down to discuss what it takes to break through as a designer, the new norm of fashion sponsorships, and what fashion shows still move Christina to tears.
