Fashion Week Cuts Back

Bryant Park is where the action takes place for the annal fashion week in New York. Since the economic difficulty there are some major designers that will not be appearing during this time. Some designers that have decided not to participate this year is Betsey Johnson, Vera Wang, and Carmen Marc Valvo. The designers that are going to be there have chosen smaller venues compared to last years.

Those participating in Fashion Week have decided to cut back on the cost. The owner of alice+olivia have decided to use a slide presentation to show their fashions instead of models. A lot of the designers are showcasing the designs on mannequins to cut the cost of paying for models. Several designers such as Nicole Miller, Marc Jacobs, and Calvin Klein will not have their annual post dinner events.

Although the Fashion Week will experience some cut backs I hope that it will still be successful. During this this difficult economic time there are still those who look forward to seeing the upcoming fashions. Many of the designers that participate have loyal clients and they shall continue to do well. There have been many ways that designers have cut back on cost and hopefully it will still allow for this annual event to be great. Those coming will still be introduced to that latest designs but in a different way than previous years.
