Fashion Week NYC 2009
This year’s fashion extravaganza
- scheduled from Thursday, September 10 to Thursday September 17, 2009 -
will see designers gather from around the world to exhibit their
Spring /Summer 2010 collections.
The Skinny on Fashion Week
New York City hosts two major “Super Bowls of Fashion” with the big names of fashion unveiling their fall designs in February, and their spring collections in September.
The Big Move in 2010
Last year, the city promised to provide a newer, bigger showcase to house the bi-annual event, but the traditional venue at Bryant Park will continue until September 2009 for the Spring show.
Starting in 2010, New York Fashion Week moves to the Lincoln Center complex, home to the reknowned Metropolitan Opera house and American Ballet Theatre.
Eye on New York Fashion Week
As always, IMG remains the main driving force behind New York Fashion Week, with Mercedes Benz and Olympus alternately providing major sponsorship.
Twice yearly, the Big Apple goes out of its way to welcome high-powered media moguls and Hollywood movie stars who come to see, or be seen, at one of the planet’s most celebrated fashion events. Behind the scenes, a lucky handful of volunteer interns from city fashion schools, such as nearby FIT or Parsons School of Design, toil as volunteers.
Mere commoners, meanwhile, can tune in to watch full coverage on local channel TV 25 — which annually devotes more than 150 hours of coverage with nightly recaps all week long on special editions of Videofashion Daily.
