Career
Jennifer is credited with turning the famous banking hall in the Williamsburgh Savings Bank building into Skylight One Hanson, winter home of the much-beloved Brooklyn Flea, and host to events from the Brooklyn Academy of Music’s gala to a secret Kanye West performance. Blumin has maneuvered to make Skylight Group the third player of New York’s Fashion Week. At the forefront of a trend: fashion shows in reclaimed industrial spaces, with designers increasingly drawn to locations with history, Blumin has placed clients such as Ralph Lauren, Theyskens’ Theory, rag & bone, and Philip Lim in her venues for their shows. In 2012, Blumin entered into a partnership with Friends of the High Line for Skylight Group to produce all private events on the elevated park. The James A. Farley Post Office came to Blumin via James Ramsey and Dan Barasch, the founders of the Lowline underground park project, a non-profit for which Jennifer sits on the Board. Skylight at Moynihan Station launched for New York Fashion Week in September 2012 and has since hosted events for Land Rover, the Whitney Museum of Art, NBC, and AOL.
