Backstage Reverie: An Immersive Fashion Salon
An Immersive Art Experience Presented During New York Fashion Week
Welcome to Backstage Reverie—an immersive art salon that reimagines the backstage of a fashion show as a living, breathing work of art. Unfolding during New York Fashion Week, this sensory-rich experience pulled guests behind the velvet curtain and into the hidden theater of fashion’s most electric moments.
Fusing performance, visual art, and fashion presentation, Backstage Reverie offered a curated collision of chaos and beauty—the heartbeat of every runway moment before the lights go up. The evening centered fashion as both spectacle and story, inviting guests to step inside the creative process itself.
The salon featured the arresting visual work of Angela Nikolau, star of Netflix’s Skywalkers: A Love Story, whose urban-climbing paintings lent the space an air of danger, beauty, and edge. Michael Krawitz presented an exclusive series of hand-painted garments—each one a walking canvas—while Jesse Lee’s sculptural designs challenged silhouettes and rewrote familiar codes. Hand-crafted high-art Swimwear brand Snobhaus brought heat and irreverence with bold new pieces, each worn with intention in a space designed for movement, not stillness.
Live photo sets captured guests in editorial moments styled in real time, while models moved through the space in a flowing runway activation that unfolded organically—without warning. Groove Kitchen scored the night with a genre-blurring set, while cocktails by Bomba Lounge flowed like libations in a designer’s studio at midnight.
Backstage Reverie was more than a show—it was a portal into the fashion ecosystem’s creative chaos: spontaneous, glamorous, and unfiltered.
