The first location is Skylight at Moynihan Station. Yep, the
old post office located by Penn Station, on Eighth Avenue between 32nd and 33rd
streets. The second location is at the
edge of SoHo at Skylight Clarkson Square at 550 Washington Street.
The shows had to move
from thier old home because of constant complaints from neighbors, and a
violation of their contract, due to improper use of a nearby park.
Is the old post office, fashion friendly? Well designers such as, Ralph Lauren, and Philip
Lim, have already used the space for shows.
The spots, both run by Skylight Group,
were chosen by a team including IMG and mayor Bill de Blasio. Of the change, De
Blasio commented, “The
fashion industry contributes so much to New York City, and I’m thrilled that
New York fashion week will bring so much excitement and energy to its new homes
at Skylight Clarkson Sq and Skylight at Moynihan Station.” IMG
noted in a release that “NYFW will also include a more carefully curated
designer schedule that will be complemented by strategic partner alliances,”
suggesting that certain brands may be dropped from the IMG schedule and that
some mode of transport between the two spots might be provided. (Style.com)
Let see how it goes when the new locations
make their official debuts during New York Fashion Week Spring/Summer 2016
which runs from September 10, 2015 through September 17, 2015.
