More than 100 designers will be filling 8 dates in February once again, for what has become the veritable, twice-yearly “superbowl of fashion”* at Lincoln Center.

In 1943, the first New York Fashion Week was held, with one main purpose: to distract attention from French fashion during World War II, when workers in the fashion industry were unable to travel to Paris. This was an opportune moment, as for centuries designers in America had been thought to be reliant on the French for inspiration.The fashion publicist Eleanor Lambert organized an event she called ‘Press Week’ to showcase American designers for fashion journalists, who had previously ignored their works. The Press Week was a success, and, as a result, magazines like Vogue (which were normally filled with French designs) began to feature more and more American innovations. Until 1994, shows were held in different locations, such as hotels, or lofts. Eventually, after a structural accident at a Michael Kors show, the event moved to Bryant Park, behind the New York Public Library, where it remained until 2010, when the shows relocated to Lincoln Center.

Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week will start today, at 9 a.m. Eastern time, with the show of Nicholas K, followed by BCBGMAXAZRIA, RAOUL, RICHARD CHAI, and many more. Tomorrow at 8 pm the ACADEMY OF ART UNIVERSITY will present their creations for the fall season, while HERVÉ LÉGER BY MAX AZRIA and Lacoste are schedules for Saturday. The classics like DKNY and DIANE VON FURSTENBERG would be the highlights for Sunday afternoon. Of course, names like CAROLINA HERRERA, TOMMY HILFIGER,ZAC POSEN, TORY BURCH, MICHAEL KORS, ANNA SUI, CALVIN KLEIN and the famous RALPH LAUREN will present their collections as well.
