New York Fashion Week kicks off in flux

September 8, 2016 By creative

New York officially kicks off the global spring/summer 2017 fashion merry-go-round Thursday, but one thing's clear: fashion week is over as we know it. The biannual event is a calendar staple in a city home to a $98 billion fashion industry, headquarters to 900 fashion companies and which generates huge turnover even if Paris and Milan lay claim to more avant-garde couture. More than 200,000 people flood into New York to attend its September and February fashion weeks combined, where hundreds of shows, deals and parties rake in nearly $900 million before the seasonal bandwagon decamps to Europe.

February 9, 2016 By admin

There was an overwhelming trend for long hair on the runways, with several labels sending their models down the catwalk with luscious strands breezing out behind them. At Vivienne Westwood, the look was rocky and slightly bedraggled for an insouciant look, while over at Calvin Klein the models wore their shoulder-length locks in neat, flicky layers with lashings of shine spray and a slick center parting for added glamour.
