And a bit of history

In 2010, the city made good on its promise to move away from the traditional tents at Bryant Park which had been home to New York Fashion Week since 1993.

Begiining in September 2010, New York Fashion Week moved to Damrosch Park at the Lincoln Center complex, home to the renowned Metropolitan Opera house and American Ballet Theatre.

However, several years later some of the most famous names in fashion began strutting their stuff elsewhere. Today, the biggest names in fashion have opted to choose from a variety of unique venues -- ranging from the Brooklyn Navy Yard, to the Musuem of Natural History, to various spaces located in Tribeca and other showrooms around town.
