SURVIVAL OF THE CHICEST: THE FAST-TRACK TO FASHION WEEK CHIC
Robert Verdi’s Luxe Laboratory hosted SURVIVAL OF THE CHICEST, an exclusive fashion week retreat for editors, influencers and celebrities to escape the frenzy of fashion week in favor of exclusive services, on-site treatments, and stylish solutions for the new recessionista chic lifestyle. Just blocks from the tents at Bryant Park and steps from this season’s new shows at Milk Studios, the private retreat provided the perfect pit- stop for elite fashion insiders to relax, revitalize and refresh for a fabulous return to the front row.
SURVIVAL OF THE CHICEST included the CVS/pharmacy Beauty Lounge featuring Hair Styling by Cristophe, Manicures by Sally Hansen, Make-up by CoverGirl and more, plus Mercedes-Benz VIP Car Service, Quintessentially Concierge Service, Rock & Republic Denim Bar, TARINA TARANTINO Jewelry Styling, Vans Custom Shoe Vault, Healthy Eats from BluePrintCleanse, Sweet Treats from Hershey’s, Stylish Refreshments by smartwater, Ice Cold Peroni Beer, New Classics from Coca-Cola, Swag-packed Totes from L.L. Bean, Ignite the Genius Within from Penguin Books, Astrobabble Psychic Readings and Karma Parties, KODAK Picture Kiosk and Cameras, Equinox Fashion-ready Fitness, Carrera Shades from Solstice Sunglass Boutique, Reinvented Classics from Timex and more.


The invitation to Survival of the Chicest was inspired
by a clutch designed to carry all of your fashion week essentials.
