The ULTRA HD Fashion Lounge At The Bryant Park Hotel will
be the place for "Front Row" Access to Fashion in High-Definition
As an official sponsor of Olympus Fashion Week, ULTRA HD will
enhance the viewing experience of New York's premiere fashion
event like never before by presenting it in stunning high-definition.
Available exclusively on VOOM, the groundbreaking satellite
service that provides the most comprehensive array of high-definition
programming for the rapidly growing but underserved HDTV audience,
ULTRA HD will provide a front row seat to all the awe-inspiring
runway shows from the biggest design stars. ULTRA HD's marathon
coverage will run September 9-20. (Customers can also purchase
the service by calling 1-800-GET-VOOM or by visiting www.voom.com.)
In addition to the actual runway show coverage, ULTRA HD will
take viewers deeper in to the Fashion Show experience with
increased backstage access, behind-the-scenes action and in-depth
profiles and interviews with the hottest designers. Full Frontal
Fashion correspondents Christina Ha and Judy Licht will anchor
ULTRA HD's unprecedented coverage of Olympus Fashion Week.
Celebrity photographer Patrick McMullan covers the hottest
parties, while Glamour magazines' Suze Yalof Schwartz gives
the beauty buzz from under the tents.
ULTRA HD plans to keep the buzz of Olympus Fashion Week overflowing
from the tents into the Bryant Park Hotel, where it is creating
a unique destination for those caught up in the fashion fever—The
ULTRA HD Fashion Lounge at the Bryant Park Hotel. The ultimate
destination for those who don't have a ticket or a satellite
TV, the ULTRA HD Fashion Lounge at the Bryant Park Hotel enables
everyone to indulge their love for the newest fashions. The
lobby bar will be transformed into the definitive ULTRA HD
fashion showcase with six giant high-definition televisions
showcasing the runway action, from 7am until midnight on September
8-15. ULTRA HD hosts Christina Ha and Judy Licht will stop
by to provide commentary on the day's event.
