January 29, 2009 2:58 pm >> INSIDER WIRE —Narciso Rodriguez is joining the likes of J.Mendel, Yigal Azrouel, and Tommy Hilfiger in returning to the tents. For the past six seasons, he has chosen to show elsewhere, but for Fall 2009, Bryant Park is his venue. Perhaps he's aiming on having First Lady Michelle Obama, who's a fan of his work, as a guest, and wants the security the tents provide? They've had experience hosting former First Lady Laura Bush, plus Secret Service, last February, after all. [WWD]*image: source
