where does new york fashion week take place
New York Fashion Week Following the loss of Bryant Park and later Lincoln Center as hosting site for Fashion Week, the event is no longer held in one central location. Instead, there are two primary venues - Skylight Clarkson Square, at 558 Washington St. and Industria, at 40 Bethune St.. Many designers choose to present their collection in more original venues throughout the city, opting for edgier runway settings. Such locations have recently included a waterfront carnival, converted railway terminals and a former post office.[40]
Workweek and weekend The Christian Sabbath was just one day each week, but the preceding day (the Jewish Sabbath) came to be taken as a holiday as well in the twentieth century. This shift has been accompanied by a reduction in the total number of hours worked per week, following changes in employer expectations. The present-day concept of the 'week-end' first arose in the industrial north of Britain in the early part of nineteenth century[1] and was originally a voluntary arrangement between factory owners and workers allowing Saturday afternoon off from 2pm in agreement that staff would be available for work sober and refreshed on Monday morning.[2] The Amalgamated Clothing Workers of America Union was the first to successfully demand a five-day work week in 1929.
