The First Fashion Week EVER!

Fashion Week was birthed by Eleanor Lambert in 1943 in an attempt to draw attention to American designers during World War II, when fashion industry workers were unable to travel to Paris.

This week long affair was originally dubbed “Press Week”.

In its 69th year, Fashion Week has evolved into a myriad of fashion shows during the day and exclusive parties at night.  Oh how I wish I could be there one time!
