Fashion can be dangerous!
PR star Savannah Engel, whose clients include luxe brands Markarian and PatBO, has been spotted hustling while hobbling all over town during New York Fashion Week on a sprained ankle.
Engel — who has been seen on crutches escorting clients like socialite Ivy Getty and designer Alexandra O’Neill to events like a Sak’s bash at the Aman and a Christie’s reception for Andre Leon Talley’s estate — tells us it happened two weeks ago when she was waving to someone in the West Village while walking down some stairs, missed a step and “sprained the hell” out of her ankle.
“I kind of hit my head, but I think it’s fine,” she tells Page Six. “I popped up and realized my foot was a disaster.”
Engel hasn’t let it slow her down, dressing celebs for the Grammy Awards, working to pull together shows and going back to her office till 3a.m.
“I got a spray tan on one leg,” the congenial and well-put-together Engel tells us. “We got me a fanny pack purse to hook my headset,” she explained. She can’t use her hands since “I have to use my hands to crutch.”
“I put my boot across the Uber, I have to put it on the employee or someone else to keep it elevated as often as possible,” she says. “It’s been this whole situation.”
Engel — who also reps hip hotspots Silver Linings Lounge at the Moxy East Village, the Georgia Room, Ray’s and Pebble Bar — says that when she encountered some dreaded stairs this week during a celeb fitting at the Plaza, “I put my tush down and scooted.”
While the boot will be on for 12 weeks, Engel isn’t taking time off.
She next heads to Milan then Paris, then LA for the Oscars and the iconic Vanity Fair party before jetting to some more events.
