Traditionally, up to 25,000 plastic water bottles are given out during Olympus Fashion Week at Bryant Park. But this year, in an effort to "green" the show, participants will be given reusable liter-sized non-toxic aluminum water bottles which have been specially prepared backstage and hold nothing but the finest NYC tap water.
Let's just hope they use a filter on the tap (although it was not mentioned in the press release). Otherwise we may never know if the grimaces on the audiences faces are due to the garments on the runway or the refreshments.
