Guests at Victoria Beckham‘s show stopped twice before making their way to their seats for moments of silence — one for each tower.
Many designers have made donations to various organizations in memory of those lost, including Derek Lam to the National September 11 Memorial & Museum, and Donna Karan to Action America, an initiative to turn Sept. 11 into a day of positive action and volunteerism.
“We remember that day 10 years ago that changed our city forever,” Karan said. “We remember the courage, the inspiration, the compassion. How we came together, reaffirming our strength to the world. There truly is no place anywhere like our beloved city, New York. Our inspiration.” The heartbeat of Karan’s DKNY brand is New York, so she paid tribute by using one of its most recognizable symbols as a backdrop for her runway show — the yellow taxi.
