NEW YORK — “This is not a publicity stunt,” announced Kelly Cutrone, the head of the public relations firm People’s Revolution. She asked the audience at Sunday’s Emerson show to wait patiently as designer Jackie Fraser-Swan’s family rushed from Penn Station to Lincoln Center. The Boston designer’s family members were delayed on trains, and Fraser-Swan was determined to have her four daughters in the audience after the storm. After all, at New York Fashion Week, the show must go on.
