That wonderful week is here! NY Fashion Week has arrived! Telegraph’s Hillary Alexander prepares us for whats in store this week…
New York Fashion Week has kicked-off the global round of designer catwalk shows for spring/summer 2011 at its swish new HQ at the Lincoln Centre. New York Fashion Week has moved to the Lincoln Centre after 17 years at the tents in midtown Bryant Park.
Opening day included a fittingly global-inspired collection by Christiano Siriano, with leopard-print and African references, and softly-softly military looks from the boys at Ruffian – Claude Morais and Brian Wolk.
A highlight of today’s schedule will be when the Couture Council of the Museum at FIT (Fashion Institute of Technology) bestows its prized Fashion Visionary award on Karl Lagerfeld. The award will be presented by the actress, Diane Kruger, at a blue-chip luncheon. The whole city parties tonight with Vogue’s star-and celebrity-studded Fashion Night Out, at top-end stores and boutiques all over town, and the Dolce & Gabbana celebrations in honour of British supermodel, Naomi Campbell, at the brand’s Madison Avenue boutique.
Interestingly, Women’s Wear Daily today pays tribute to London as being a forerunner to the Vogue Fashion Nights Out events, nearly 80 years ago. staging a More >
