There are incredibly elaborate runway sets that are created for some of the world's most highly anticipated fashion shows but these stages have been traded for more low-key options as designers have made the switch to virtual shows and video presentations. For this year's New York Fashion Week, Lowe's is teaming up with leading designers so that their visions can be executed in an accessible way.
The unexpected partnership between the home improvement store and clothing designers helps to bring attention to the links between home and style, which are more apparent than ever before. With this partnership, Lowe's will be providing materials like lighting, furniture, flooring and building supplies for designers like Jason Wu, Christian Siriano and Rebecca Minkoff, so that they can create inspiring runway sets and share their curated collections via Lowe's website.
