Check Out Lily Aldridge's NYFW Periscope
No one does New York Fashion Week quite like a top model, and Lily Aldridge's backstage Periscope recording demonstrates exactly what it means to be in the thick of the sartorially swoon-worthy extravaganza. A Victoria's Secret Angel and a member of the modeling elite, Aldridge leads a covetable existence strutting down the runways of illustrious designers and basking in the company of famed friends including Taylor Swift and fellow Angel Martha Hunt, who happens to make a cameo in the Periscope video as well. Aldridge's video takes the viewer through the whimsical labyrinth that is backstage at Carolina Herrera's Spring 2016 show, and the results are sheer sartorial fun.
Throughout the short video, Aldridge chronicles her journey to the presentation's venue and backstage preparations. A jaunt in the car deposits Aldridge at the Frick Museum, where the model saunters through the architecturally arresting space before heading into hair and makeup. Throughout the model's short one-and-a-half minute video, the viewer is transported in double time through the rigors of backstage beauty and fashion preparations for one of the country's most beloved design houses, but the journey isn't without its droll moments.
