Yes, it's the end of an era. Fashion week will be officially moved to the Lincoln Center in September 2010. The Center offers almost a 25 percent increase in square footage from it home at Bryant Park. Which make me wonder, with so many designers pulling out from fashion week this year because of the countries financial state, is the 25 percent increase needed? Any who, the classy, centrally located Lincoln Center excited Mayor Bloomberg and Anna Wintour saying “We had obviously worn out our welcome at Bryant Park, so it’s very exciting to be going to someplace where they want us,” she told WWD. Bergdorf senior V.P. Linda Fargo agreed, noting, “Lincoln Center may actually prove to be easier to traverse between shows, as Chelsea and the West Side are on the same axis” Having never been to fashion week I was looking forward to one day sitting under the tent at Bryant Park, I guess the whole idea saddens me.
