"I think there's only going to be 36 audience members, so that's a big difference from 500. That's usually the minimum, so that's a big, big, big difference," he said. "We have to follow the governor's guidelines, everyone getting checked five days minimum before the show. We're keeping the backstage very...lean. And giving everyone personal space, making sure everyone's wearing masks.
As for how one goes about scaling down the typical audience of 500 to a tight 36, Wu said he's still working out those particular details. "I don't know exactly," he admitted. "But some of our key retail partners will definitely be there, key editors will be there and some of my very close friends that are just there to support me. And I think that's it."
With a theme of "Paradise in the City," the show is intended to offer the designer, who said he hasn't left New York since March, a bit of therapy, too. "I would hope the show gives people the feeling of optimism and great energy," he added. "And that, in the end, is what I think fashion should be. It should be something that brings people joy, and I think that's very important.
