Fashion Week in New York is currently in the midst of numerous changes: the shows once housed in a tent at Lincoln Center are now divided between two venues—Skylight Moynihan Station and Skylight Clarkson Square—and carry the new name New York Fashion Week: The Shows. What's being presented and how is also shifting as designers move to keep up with consumer demand by making collections available earlier. So it's no surprise the number of elaborate shows has dropped, especially as some look for cost-effective digital opportunities.
That's not to say there aren't eye-catching efforts during Fashion Week, and the most recent iteration, which ran February 10 to 18, still included striking set designs and unexpected efforts. Notably, Kanye West and Rihanna made a splash with their outings for Adidas and Puma, respectively, while brands like Tommy Hilfiger, Moncler Grenoble, and Thom Browne once again showcased their ability to surprise and delight even the most jaded fashion insider.
