The basic idea is that 30 NY designers, plus 2 students entries from Parsons and FIT, dressed mannequins in building materials to strut their way down Broadway through the Fashion District. They are all located on the pedestrian median that runs from Times Square to Herald Square. The mannequins will be on display until Labor Day weekend begins.
In general, I liked the ones that were less like dresses and more statement-ish. Also, I thought some of my favorites were from designers who I wouldn't necessarily choose for myself fashion-wise. Here are a few highlights.
(Magenta - underneath it all, I'm pretty sure this is what you look like.)

Oh I'm going to have to walk down Broadway and see this! Thanks for letting me know about it!
That looks so hot. I wish I could come up for the day and see it.
Very cool! This gives me yet another reason to visit NYC soon...
This is so cool! I didn't even know this exhibit was going on (I hope it still is!), but now I have an excuse to take a trip to the garment district to check it out. I'll definitely be stopping in to my favorite spots while I'm over there.
Cute blog!
