“As we close a chapter in the history of our event, IMG is excited to be working with Lincoln Center, the
CFDA and the City to create a new home for the fashion industry at Lincoln Center,” said Peter Levy, SVP and Managing Director of IMG Fashion Worldwide.
A familiar face at the tents and one of the prime movers of the New York Fashion Week, currently called Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week, Fern Mallis, SVP of IMG Fashion comments, “This [Fall 2010] will be a significant season, as we reflect on 17 years, 31 seasons and close to 2,500 fashion shows in Bryant Park that have launched many careers….from Designers to Editors, Models, Producers, Celebrities, TV Commentators and Reality Shows. We all also look forward to the change – and September’s move to Damrosch Park in Lincoln Center.”
The Bryant Park Tents’ three venues include the Salon, the Promenade and the Tent. Over the course of eight days, the runway venues, lobby and backstage sponsor lounges will be bustling from 9 AM to 9 PM, when approximately 100,000 people come to attend shows, meet and greet the media, retailers and fashion professionals.
