Fashion Week scaling back a bit
|
As a seamstress somewhere once said, “This needs to come in a few inches.”
The players in New York’s Fashion Week, under way Friday in Bryant Park, are cinching their belts, tailoring shows to reflect caution with budgets, but hardly sacrificing the pizzazz guests expect from the semi-annual event.
"We’re not in favor of overly conspicuous consumption in a difficult economic period, but making people feel good is what our industry is about,” said Bud Konheim, chief executive of Nicole Miller.
Some 64 designers have rented space in the three cavernous tents for the Feb. 13-20 shows, compared to 68 last February. While a half-dozen or so regulars won’t be back in the park for the winter gathering, a handful of high-profile names are returning after an extended absence.
