Have you ever wanted to sit front row at Fashion Week? Well, you could reserve your spot—if you happen to have $95,000 in your pocket.
As part of the Summer Benefit auction for the Watermill Center, an event aimed at raising money to fund a Hamptons gallery where artists can show their work for free, front row Milan Fashion Week tickets were on the auction block—with the starting bid coming in a $25,000. The package deal included front row seats to the Fall/Winter 2015 shows of Prada, Giorgio Armani, and Fendi (with backstage access included for the Fendi event). If you wanted to skip the pesky business of bidding for the tickets, you could use a "buy it now" option with the even more outrageous price of $95,000. A package to see the fall/winter 2015 Miu Miu show at Paris Fashion Week was also up for grabs, with bids starting at $10,000 and the "buy it now" option coming in at $25,000.
Ignoring the fact that you could buy a car, pay off your student loans, and/or purchase several years worth of Chipotle with that kind of cash, it would be pretty exciting to have the chance to sit front row at a major fashion show with the likes of Lupita Nyong'o and Rihanna. As of yesterday, July 26, the bidding is formally closed, so if you're interested in dropping some dough on a front row Fashion Week experience, start saving up now for next years offerings.
