   *New Yor  k Fa  shi  on Wee  k *   What is New York Fashion Week? N ew York Fashion Week is a week where designers show their latest designs for everyone to see. As you may already know, Fashion Week cannot happen on its own. It takes devoted people and dedicated sponsors to create Fashion Week. Fashion Week needs a generous amount of money to buy all of the supplies. This is why Fashion Week has sponsors, so that they can help pay for all of the supplies needed in order to make Fashion Week amazing! Some of Fashion Week's sponsors are TREsemme, Barbie, Mercedes-Benz, and The New York Times. These sponsors, and many more, help make Fashion Week possible. Fashion Week is extremely important to everyone in the fashion industry. You have to have tickets to go to this event. <span style="font-size: 13px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); line-height: 19px;"><span style="font-size: 90%; color: rgb(95, 180, 231);"> <span style="font-size: 110%; color: rgb(138, 243, 73);"><span style="font-size: 140%; color: rgb(142, 49, 227);"><span style="font-size: 130%; color: rgb(136, 67, 223);"> <span style="font-size: 120%; color: rgb(53, 236, 9);"><span style="font-size: 90%; color: rgb(136, 67, 223); font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> When and Where    <span style="display: block; font-size: 72%; color: rgb(136, 67, 223); font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: left;">New York Fashion Week, also known as Mercedes Benz Fashion Week, takes place in Bryant Park, New York. Bryant Park has hosted New York Fashion Week for many years. There is not only one Fashion. Week, but many! However, there is only two New York Fashion Weeks, one in the fall and one in the spring. The spring 2008 show was from September the 5th to the 12th. New York Fashion Week's fall show was featured from February the 13th through the 20th. This is because when you show clothes off season, it gives time for the people who liked the clothes to go out and buy the item(s) that they liked. The schedule changes each year depending on who is featuring their new line and who is not. <span style="font-size: 90%; color: rgb(142, 49, 227);"><span style="display: block; font-size: 90%; color: rgb(53, 236, 9); text-align: center;">Why does Fashion Week Matter <span style="display: block; color: rgb(53, 236, 9); text-align: left;">Fashion Week plays a big role in the fashion industry. When designers feature clothes at a big event like Fashion Week they know that there are going to be people who do and don't get to see their clothes. Some people may like these clothes, others may not. The people who didn't like the designer's clothes motivates the designers even more to create even better clothes and come back to Fashion Week next year. This means that the designer works harder and longer on their designs to make sure that they are perfect. Since Fashion Week has so many viewers, designers and stores have a greater chance of making more money. They have this chance because department stores such as Macy's and JCPenny's can buy these clothes and sell them to their customers and make more money. Once the store makes money on the Fashion Week clothes, they can go out and buy more clothes and begin the cycle over again. <span style="font-size: 90%; color: rgb(63, 222, 43);"> <span style="font-size: 90%; color: rgb(53, 236, 9);"><span style="display: block; color: rgb(32, 175, 243); text-align: left;"> Project Runway Make it work! Project Runway is one of fashion's biggest shows! In this TV show, 12 designers compete for a chance to show their designs at New York Fashion Week in Bryant Park! These 12 designers compete throughout many challenges, but after each challenge one person will be eliminated. Although this person may not be in the running anymore, they will still receive tickets to the finale at Bryant Park. When there are only three designers left, the judges, Micheal Kors( fashion designer), Heidi Klum( model/ Project Runway host), and Nina Garcia( fashion director at Marie Claire), will send the three home to create their new line. This line is most likely going to be about ten to twelve outfits, about 20 pieces. For these designers, this is a chance of a lifetime. When creating their line the designers always keep in mind what is and isn't going to appeal to the judges. After the show, both the designers and the judges go back to Parson's the New School of Design. The judges will say good things about all of the contestants, but shortly after will eliminate one designer. Once it is down to the final three, the judges will continue with what they liked about each collection. The designer who wins will receive a spread in Elle Magazine, a new car, and $100,000.00 to start their own line. The winner will be be announced shortly after the fall Fashion Week at Parson's New School of Design.

<span style="font-size: 137.7%; color: rgb(136, 67, 223);"> Designers Designers come from all over the world just to show their latest designs at Bryant Park. There are many designers that show throughout fashion week. Some of these may include Diane Von Furstenberg and Zac Posen. You can find a lot out about a designer through the clothes they make. You can see where they find inspiration. Some designers find it in music and others are inspired by nature. Their choice of inspiration really reflects in their line. " I do not design clothes. I design dreams", says fashion designer Ralph Lauren. This is such a powerful quote because Lauren tells people that fashion isn't just about wearing clothes, but it is about wearing clothes that you love and feel good in. Many designers feel the same way as Ralph Lauren. Much like you and me, all designers have their ups and downs, not everything is perfect, even for them. <span style="font-size: 110%; color: rgb(138, 243, 73);"><span style="font-size: 140%; color: rgb(142, 49, 227);">
