New York Fashion Week

Every year the art of fashion is commemorated on two events known worldwide and eagerly awaited, the New York Fashion Week. These shows are held Twice a year. The Fashion Week fall shows are held the preceding winter (February) and the spring shows are held the preceding late summer (September).

The New York Fashion Week has its origins in 1933 and was created by the Council of Fashion Designers but was later acquired by IMG, a lifestyle and sports marketing and management firm in 2001.

Since its origins the New York Fashion week has been an excellent opportunity for American (and a few international) designers to show their new collections to the world. The Fashion Shows during this year are a game of lightning, music and colours. The Fashion Week shows, are invitation-only and each fashion designer is responsible for the guest list. These shows are accompanied by events and parties held by the different firms and sponsors of the worldwide event.

The New york Fashion week took place at at Bryant Park in tents until September 2010 when they moved to the Lincoln Center venue. This September, the Fashion Week schedule  of shows has taken place from the 4th to the 11th of September with many famous fashion designers showing their newest collections. 

Finally, the Fashion Week does not only take place in New York but this event is also famous for its shows in Miami, Australia, Istanbul, Australia and Berlin. However, the original and the best one is definitely the one that takes place in the capital of the world nowadays, New York City.
