Mercedes-Benz New York Fashion Week took place September 5 to 12 in the Bryant Park Tents located at Sixth Ave. at 41st Street in New York City. This seasons up and coming fashions shown at Fashion Week made more than just a fashion statement.
The theme for the 2009 Spring Collection showings was Fashion Wins in correlation with the upcoming November elections. In the promotion of fashion week signs were hung throughout New York City reading Declare Your Style, Fashion = Change, Vote Fashion, and Ready to Vote.
With this season’s theme encouraging Americans to vote for our next president, no one in the tents had a problem casting their vote regarding the new couture. Each line varied in their own direction in regards to trends and concepts.
Fashion forecasters believe the color nude will be taken from the runway and become the popular color for everyday men and women this spring. Nude was also seen as a substitution for actual skin on the runway this fashion week. This translates to less cleavage and less bare skin.
“I will probably take what I see on the runway at fashion week and make it my own,” Central Michigan University Senior Jessica Halik says. “Usually, Fashion Week styles aren’t seen in the stores I shop at until months later. That’s when I decide what I like and what I am going to put into my own wardrobe.”
The colors, fabrics and silhouettes each fashion week typically influence clothing wherever you may shop. The ready-to-wear lines will begin popping up in higher end stores shortly and eventually end up in stores all over the world.
