That hectic, wonderful time of year is just around the corner, a full month of designs that will get anyone’s jaw to drop with excitement, fascination, or shock. Yes, it’s almost time for the Big 4, four back to back fashion weeks starting with New York Fashion Week, going into London Fashion Week, then Milan Fashion Week, and finally Paris Fashion Week!
The Fashion Week excitement for any fashionista cannot be helped, but where did it all begin? How did New York, then London, Milan, and Paris all come to have Fashion Weeks?
“Style is self-expression with creativity and showmanship – something that makes you memorable and makes people want to imitate you,” this message is from the brilliant lady that created the first Fashion Week in the world, Eleanor Lambert.
In 1943, Eleanor, as the director of The New York Dress Institute [the first promotional organization for American fashion] started what was known as “Press Week.” This first fashion week was created with the intent of helping American designers to showcase their work to fashion journalists, who had been ignoring the American innovation. In the 1950’s the event had a slight name change and was known as “Press Week of New York.”
In 1993, the Council of Fashion Designers of American [CFDA] decided to rename the event to what it is now “New York Fashion Week,” creating a more centralized naming system.
That was then, but here we are in 2018 in the run-up to the Spring/Summer collection, anxiously waiting to see what these designers have in store!
