Front-row seats are hard to come by during New York Fashion Week, even for the most connected fashion mavens. So when Stephen Courter, a partner at the design house Ohne Titel, got a call from his assistant that a woman from Boston named Marilyn Riseman had arrived at his show and should be seated in the front row, he scoffed.
“I said, ‘That’s not going to happen.’ And then I saw her,” Courter recalled. “We immediately made her front row.”

Great article, LOVE her!
Marilyn, you are much more than an inspiration for the fashion world, you're a treasure.
i wouldnt take her to a rock fight
Would anybody take you to a rock fight? Or anywhere for that matter?
yikes
I don't think of the Globe as an exploitive newspaper, but one look at this woman's picture tells me she is suffering from mental illness and is merely being taken advantage of by those who have something to sell and those types who are drawn to circus sideshows. Riseman would be just about the last person I would ever want labeled as a leader of Boston fashion. Of course, if you look at my moniker you won't be surprised that I consider Gisele to be Boston's fashion leader. I will be grateful for her elegant presence as long as we are lucky enough to have her.

who-cares-1940 You should consider striving for a higher level of discourse, instead of simply throwing around childish insults.
She strikes me as sort of sad. I'm starting to give up on the Globe's relevency.
