Pyrotechnics, a fruit stand, and an escalator all helped designers tell their stories for their fall 2012 collections.

French Alpine label Moncler, never one to take itself too seriously (see: organizing a flashmob in Grand Central and placing models on scaffolding over the Hudson), took a page from the downtown king of cool’s book this season, debuting its collection on the toe-stop with an after-sunset skate routine Sunday at Central Park’s Wollman Rink.
