Greenwich’s fashion show gets approval for 9/10
For five years now, Greenwich Fashion on the Avenue has been a regular fall fixture in the central business district. Models, both professional and amateur, show off items at some of Greenwich Avenue’s top stores.
Traditionally, local businesses, from retail stores and restaurants to salons and spas have taken part in what First Selectman Peter Tesei has called a chance to highlight what Greenwich is all about.
This past week, the Board of Selectmen unanimously gave its permission to hold the show again, along with permission to close part of Greenwich Avenue to accommodate the local fashionistas.
“We’re very pleased to support your efforts in bringing attention to the various retailers and merchandisers who call Greenwich home,” Tesei said. “This is a small way for the town through its governing entities to support local businesses and attract people to the town and really emphasize the Greenwich brand.”
Tesei jokingly volunteered Selectman Drew Marzullo as a model for the show.
Greenwich Avenue will be partially closed from 4 to 9 p.m. Sept. 10 from Elm Street to Havemeyer Place. Speeches and fashion show commentary will take place from a spot in front of the Senior Center.
The closure is a bit lower on Greenwich Avenue than it has been in years past, when the action had been located closer to Lewis Street. This year, the change will allow the event to make use of the green space in front of the Senior Center and the Greenwich Arts Council, which shares the building and will be a partner in Fashion on the Avenue.
Set up for the show will begin at 4 p.m. and the street will be opened to guests and the media at 5:30 p.m. The show itself is scheduled to begin at 6 and end at 7 p.m., allowing for traffic to be able to drive through starting at 9 p.m.
