New York Fashion Week is easily the most important week of fashion month, but it may also be the most hated. Fashionista reports:<\/p>\n
And it seems that rethinking should start with fashion week\u2019s official home, Lincoln Center. In Wilson\u2019s opinion, the move from Bryant Park to Lincoln Center has \u201cbeen a failure.\u201d Not only are residents in the area suing the city to try to get the week-long commercial event booted, but designers have also expressed dissatisfaction. Apparently \u201cmany designers who showed there complained that the environment was beginning to resemble an airport terminal or a trade show, with overwhelming crowds and displays of sponsorships. \u201d
\n\u201cThe next show comes in and they\u2019re hauling you away like a wedding caterer,\u201d said Vera Wang.
\n\u201cThe thing that\u2019s going to happen is Festival de Cannes,\u201d [Garance] Dor\u00e9 said. \u201cThere\u2019ll be barriers to keep the photographers back and branding boards. It\u2019s already on the way.\u201d<\/p>\n
This is precisely the reason why, last week, Oscar de la Renta announced he\u2019d be drastically scaling back his show guest list.
\n\u201cWhen you do megashows, it loses the reason of why we\u2019re showing,\u201d he said. \u201cIt\u2019s important for [certain industry professionals] to look at the clothes and see them. They shouldn\u2019t have to go through 30,000 people, and 10,000 who are trying to take pictures of all of those people who are totally unrelated to the clothes.\u201d
\nMore than all these logistical issues, though, is the fact that many industry vets question whether, in the age of near-instantaneous runway images and livestreams, fashion week even makes sense anymore.
\nWhat do you think? Does NYFW need to be rethought?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
