New York Fashion Week Has a New Confirmed Home
This undisclosed downtown location is the latest news in the new home of
the iconic Fashion Week. The Lincoln Center will no longer be the central hub
for big partners and big designers in the fashion world. The new downtown
makeover will have a downtown flare and may compose of a few dispersed
locations next September.
The announcement was made in December that New York Fashion Week was moving from its usual
Damrosch Park space in the Lincoln Centre where it was housed for five years,
new venues have been confirmed for the upcoming spring/summer 2016 show in
September: Skylight at Moynihan Station at 360 West 33rd Street and
Skylight Clarkson Square at 550 Washington Street.
“As IMG prepares to evolve
New York Fashion Week, we are focused on creating the best possible experiences
that extend beyond a physical location and moment in time," Mark Shapiro -
chief content officer at IMG which organizes NYFW told Women's Wear Daily.
"We're looking forward to reintroducing the
industry to a showcase of creative talent, style and innovation that made the
New York runways famous. Part of this showcase involves staying close to
inspirational hubs for fashion, art and music, and we've found a great new home
for that in Skylight at Moynihan Station and Skylight Clarkson Sq."
"Lincoln Center has been a great home for the
past five years and we look forward to another world class season this
February," said a spokesperson yesterday. "However, as the fashion
industry continues to evolve, IMG has been actively looking for a new home for
NYFW that gives our designers and partners the best possible environment to
share their creative visions. We look forward to sharing more details on our
new home soon."
