It is Thursday, February 18th and today marks the official last day of Fashion Week being held at Bryant Park.  The shows will now move on to their new home, next season (September 2010), at Lincoln Center.  And, one group I'd like to pay a big salute to are the Citadel Security team that we all see each season at the tents.

Citadel Security has been providing security during Fashion Week since 1993.  That's pretty much 17 years now.  The charming Ty Yorio - a former NYPD homicide detective and a retired sergeant is the president and founder of the company and he runs a quality team.

Sure, fashionistas attending might get a bit annoyed at times when they must form long lines to get into a show or they may not get why security tells 'everyone move to the left or I need everyone to keep the line to the right,' but at the end of the day, these men are doing their job and they are good at it.  We know and they know the drill.

So, to the men at Citadel Security I say, see you next season at Lincoln Center for a new beginning.  Some of us promise to be just as pushy, sometimes snobby and as intrigued as we always are to get into a show (invite or not, you know who you are out there), but we expect you to keep us secure and in check like you always do.  We understand and we thank you!
