New York Fashion
Week, currently officially called Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week,
is a semiannual fashion week held in New York City. It is
one of four major fashion weeks in the fashion industry. The
Fall 2008 Fashion Week took place between February 1, 2008
and February 8, 2008.
History
The first New York Fashion Week, then called Press Week, was
the world's first organized fashion week. Held in 1943, the
event was designed to attract attention away from French fashion
during World War II, when fashion industry insiders were unable
to travel to Paris to see French fashion shows. Fashion publicist
Eleanor Lamber organized an event she called "Press Week"
to showcase American designers for fashion journalists, who
had previously neglected their innovations. (Buyers were not
admitted to the shows and instead had to visit designers'
showrooms.) Press Week was a success, and fashion magazines
like Vogue, which were normally filled with French designs,
increasingly featured American fashion.
