Fashion Week New York, an annual Fall event, is a traditional gathering that dates back to World War II.

Fashion Week, once called Press Week, first took place in New York City in 1943. With Fashion Week typically taking place in Paris France and due to the war, fashion insiders were unable to travel into the country and see the latest and greatest in trends. This is when Eleanor Lambert stepped up and organized a fashion week within the United States and with that put American fashion into the spotlight.  Her idea of Fashion Week in America continued and was held in different locations such as hotels or lofts. In 1994, the event moved to Bryant Park, behind the New York Public Library, where it remained until this year. As of next year, it will again be relocated to the Lincoln Center.

Around the world there are four major fashion weeks.

They take place in the same order each year so that fashion devotees can attend each of them, if they wish. The “Big Four” are located in New York, London, Milan and Paris. The event is held twice a year, one in Fall/Winter (February) and the other in Spring/Summer (September).  Each event lasts one week and allows fashion designers, brands and ‘houses’ to display their latest collections. These collections are shown off through runway shows and allows buyers to get an inside glance at the latest trends.  Read more...

The week will last for three days and they promise to showcase young and established design talents including regional boutiques and jewellery collections. Though the organization is still running on the meandering track to finalize the big names of the industry which is not a tuough task when offering an all expense paid show! But despite trying to buy support, it’s not that easy afterall to convince someone for lending their name to an unborn baby! Ahmadabad based designer Digvijay Singh who has been a part of Lakme Fashion Week for quite some time now, states, – Ahmadabad is the hub for fabrics and textiles and this event can attract good business if done properly. but it seems AFW is going to be more like AFF (Ahmadabad Fashion Fair) due to the involvement of local boutiques and jewellery stores.
