Tennis, Anyone?
The inside scoop behind Doo-Ri's show time slot
Thursday, August 03, 2006
(NEW YORK) Designer Doo-Ri Chung is fast getting famous for her sportswear, but ironically, a new rumor suggests an actual sport may have snagged her Fashion Week plans.
New York Fashion Week typically runs up against the U.S. Open, and Anna Wintour, one of the designer’s earliest pioneers, happens to be a tennis aficionado. She attended last year’s games with daughter Bee Shaffer and Oscar de la Renta, and is likely to repeat her courtside visit this year.
And how does that relate to Doo-Ri? According to insiders, the CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund finalist planned to show in the Tents on Sunday, September 10—until she learned it fell on the same day as the U.S. Open’s men’s finals. Reportedly, Chung switched her show date to the following Friday, at 6pm, to accommodate her high profile supporter.
Though Doo-Ri’s current slot comes at the end of Olympus Fashion Week, her fans—including Glenda Bailey and Candy Pratts Price—will*undoubtedly turn out in full force to support the overachieving Jersey girl, and her trademark (and gorgeous) jersey dresses.
