How Did Fashion Week Become a Thing?
The tradition of Fashion Week has a long history. Starting in the 1850s, Paris designers sought to bring customers together to view the new seasonal collections. By 1903, this event made its way to New York, where many department stores and designers began to take part. The first official event, advertised as “Press Week,” was held in New York in 1943 for American journalists who could not travel to Paris due to World War II and the Nazi occupation.
There are many different ideas about how these annual, stylish events began, but the first official event was in London, hosted by the British Fashion Council in 1983, after fashion shows became widely successful, catching the interest of royals.
Milan, surprisingly, became the fashion capital of Italy after successful shows in Florence caused too many problems with traffic! In 1958, Milan Fashion Week was founded by the Camera Nazionale della Moda, or the National Chamber for Italian Fashion.
Copenhagen hosts one of the newer official Fashion Weeks, having started in 2006, but can be traced to a collection of clothing fairs from the 1950s. With a rich history of sharing art through clothing, Fashion Week has become an amazing way to gather and display innovative talent.
What to Expect from the Shows in September
One thing to keep in mind about upcoming events is the potential of limited capacity. Whether for economic purposes or the desire to create a more intimate atmosphere at shows, it’s likely that invite lists will be shorter than in the past. That being said, it is still slated for the fall to have an amazing display of opening shows and high-profile comebacks. So, with that in mind, let’s take a look at some of the influencers we expect to see at all of the fashion weeks.
