 The Fashion
Week that came to its end where the designers presented Spring-Summer 2009-2010
Collections, appeared to be the latest fashion function held in the reputed Bryant
Park the place for all Fashion Week arrangements for the last 16 years. In September
2010 the New York Fashion Week moved to the Lincoln Center
celebrating the end of the entire epoch related to the Bryant Park. The place provided
the tented territory to judge the fashion industry workers, and there new
talented designers were first acknowledged, and some were even proposed in
love.
In 2004 the
owner to a cosmetic brand Mark Bekman made a proposal to the designer Elisa Roy
in a very unusual way. On the catwalk all the models presented the designer
things and every of them had a plate on them with letters that jointly made the
phrase «Will you marry me? ».
The First New
York Fashion Week held under the tents in the Bryant Park in 1993 was the pretentious
event, by the words of the guests. The Ceremony of Fashion Week Opening was visited
by the acting that time mayor of New York David Dinkins with his spouse, the
forever editor of the American Vogue Anna Wintour, and the majority of famous
designers. By September 1999 the New York Fashion Week became the symbol of glamour:
the first rows were always occupied with the famous Hollywood
celebrities on the new collection presentations. Though the Fashion Week held
in September was rather a tragedy when the hurricane Floyd attacked people in
the course of the event in New York.
However, it never stopped the numerous fashion trendsetters and followers, and
while the hurricane was raging, they courageously went to see the final
collection by the Bill Blass brand. The fashion show held under the pelting
rain was one of the most memory events.
Fashion Week
2001 was also memorable that occurred just after the tragedy on September 11. Only
24 designers presented their collections in 2001, and on the opening of the
Fashion Week the mayor of New York Michael Bloomberg made the speech to honor
the victims of September terrorist actions.
The year 2004
became the year when new designers, namely Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez
appeared on the American stage and presented their debut collection during the Fashion
Week, and were immediately acknowledged as the most gifted beginner designers.
The show by
Heatherette fashion brand in 2007 was one of the vivid shows for the 16-year history
of Fashion Weeks in New York
held in the Bryant Park. The fairy tale about the Wizard of Oz was used as the decorations for presentation of
the collection styled as rock-n-roll glamour of 80s, created by the Heatherette
designers where Dorothy was played by Lydia Hearst, and the kind fairy Glynda
was played by Amanda Lepore. There was the longest queue in front of the Heatherette
tent, since the guests of Fashion Week wanted to see and appreciate the fairy
show decorations personally.
The show presented
by Donna Karan in 2008 caused the great scandal. People for the Ethical Treatment
of Animals organization (PeTA) arranged the grandiose protesting action, while
the courageous protesters who managed to climb the runway called Karan «butcher»
in public. The policemen who arrived to the Park took the PeTA activists and
the collections by Donna Karan presented after an interval deserved the good
reviews by fashion critics.
The regular
series of weird events took place in 2009 where the models were injured on the
show of the Fall Collection by Herve Leger. Max Azria, the designer, stated afterwards
that the reason for that were not extremely high heels and platform shoes for
models, but the slick wooden stage. The scandal caused by those to accused of
uncomfortable shoes for models and those who cared of injuries incurred by the
latter, made the other designer, Brian Rays, to come to a very unusual
solution. During the show of Rays's Fall-Winter 2009-10 Collection in New York, the models
appeared barefoot.
Last year the
Fashion Week in New York
celebrated the solemn date- fifty years of the famous Barbie doll. Yet, in the
frame of the Fashion Week the grandiose show was held styled Barbie and created
by the reputed American designers and brands as Calvin Klein, Rachel Roy, Alexander
Wong and Vera Wang.
