New York Fashion Week's New Locations Have Been Revealed
The show's going to SoHo...and midtown!
By Victoria Dawson Hoff
Update: New York Fashion Week's Lincoln Center replacement has been announced, and it's TWO places. Women's Wear Daily reports the venues be in midtown (Skylight at Moynihan Station at 360 West 33rd Street) and west SoHo (Skylight Clarkson Sq at 550 Washington Street) this September, and it's a multiyear deal. IMG had discussions with designers, show producers, and journalists to choose the locations. Considering both have been used before for shows (Prabal Gurung at Moynihan Station, and this July's first-ever New York men's fashion week at Skylight Clarkson Square), it'll be exciting to see more staged this Sept. 10-17.
The breakup has been rumored for some time, but now it's OFFICIAL-official: This February's New York Fashion Week will be the last one held at Lincoln Center. According to Racked, a blogger came across some New York City legal documents that show the parks and recreation department has court-ordered NYFW to leave Lincoln Center once its current contract ends in February.
We're not exactly sure where all the shenanigans will be based next—all signs (and former mayor Mike Bloomberg) have pointed to Hudson Yards, but development of the area is still in the works. Then again, many designers choose to show elsewhere in Manhattan (and sometimes Brooklyn), so perhaps competition for popular spaces like Chelsea Piers and Milk Studios will simply grow in the meantime. But still, it feels a bit like the end of an (albeit short) era—Lincoln Center was home to NYFW for four years after it moved from its original home in Bryant Park.
