When I think Citrine, I think of porcelain-faced model boys, college girls ready for a Sex and the City-styled night out, and Christian Siriano (the Project Runway hosted his birthday bash there). I’ve never thought, however, that the venue could be home to Carmen Marc Valvo’s show for the upcoming February Fashion Week.

Valvo’s three hour presentation will be held at Citrine in the Flatiron District, the lounge turned runway which the designer appropriately snagged for gratis! It’s part of the spots goal to bring back real fashion into the nightlife scene.

It might not be the biggest space for a show, but the recession-ready Citrine sure beats the nearly $50,000 for tent space or Marc Jacob’s estimated $1 million splurge on the Lexington Avenue Armory.
