MKUU EVENTS - NYFW SPRING 2017

CALLING ALL FASHIONISTAS!!!! It's that time of the year again. Need I say more - New York Fashion Week Spring 2017. Yes ya'll get ready to show up and show out. NYFW SP 2017 is debuting from Sept 7 - 16, 2016. And it bound to be filled with all of the fashion frenzy and excitement of past fashion weeks plus more. Runway shows will be featured at various venues throughout the city -Skylight at Moynihan Station, Skylight Clarkson Sq, and MADE @ Milk Studios This year expect most of the designers to incorporate a selling element into the structure of their shows. No longer will consumers have to wait months for their favorite pieces to arrive at retail stores. IMG the owner of NYFW is opening 2 pop-up shops, which will feature the fashion lines of designers during their fashion shows or immediately thereafter. Hence the concept, "Selling Product Right of the Catwalk".

Racked has announced, “The Shop @ NYFW: The Shows” will be held at 875 Washington Street from September 8th through 11th, and sell product from brands like Fallon, Lizzie Fortunato, and the direct-to-consumer T-shirt brand Monogram. “F.Y.I. @ MADE New York” is open from September 12th through the 14th at 449 West 14th Street, and will feature clothes and accessories from designers like Andrea Jaipei Li, Krewe Du Optic, and Pyer Moss". As well as, designers, such as Thakoon are featuring a "See Now, Buy Now" fashion show, where customers can purchase items online and at the retail store location during the runway show at NYFW. So expect the west side of Manhattan to be overwhelmed with celebrities, models and A+ industry insiders as they travel from show to show. And the night life of the city that never sleeps will be heightened at a level so intense that the neighbors won't be able to sleep for the entire week.

Did I mention that Tommy Hilfiger is taking over Pier 16 and building a massive carnival fairground that will feature a 40 ft. Ferris wheel to debut his his fashion show, And Gigi Hadid will be the focal point as she debuts her Hilfiger collaboration at the show. Most of the 2,000 guest are not A-listers but regular consumers, so you can expect this show to be included in the history books. It looks like fall is kicking off with a serious BANG, so mark your calendars, grab your wallets and get your elaborate outfits ready for the cameras. Don't forget where you heard it from....MKUU
