Castings

Is there a thread that says which models are cast in which shows?

 

[seanutbutter]

where is porenza?!

From the FWD blurb posted by kimair:

Proenza Schouler has moved their show, traditionally held in the afternoon during Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week, to 8 p.m. on September 7 at The Armory (Marc Jacobs’s locale), which will be followed by an exclusive VIP party...

Is there a thread that says which models are cast in which shows?

I don't believe so. You probably have to wait for the actual shows to begin in order to see which models are cast in which shows.

 

[Boomer]

The Wednesday to Wednesday schedule is so odd...So many shows that are mixed up...

It had to do with not running into Rash Hashanah, I understand...

It had to do with not running into Rash Hashanah, I understand...

yes...
the cfda moved the show schedule due to the jewish holiday...

news on ralph lauren from wwd...

Ralph Lauren is a born and bred New Yorker, so where better to mark his 40th year in fashion than in Central Park? On Sept. 8, the designer will stage his spring 2008 show at the park's Conservatory Garden. Afterward, the designer and the Central Park Conservancy will host a black-tie dinner party there to celebrate the anniversary and a gift Lauren is making to the park. He is the first designer to stage a runway show at this venue at Fifth Avenue and 105th Street, and the company will build special structures to accommodate the runway show, as well as the dinner for about 500 guests.

news from catwalkqueen.tv:

Chloë Sevigny returns to design with a New York Fashion Week debut

Talk about a return to your old job in a spectacular way! Chloë Sevigny, now more known for her quirky red carpet style than anything else, is going back to her design days with a collection for new label Opening Ceremony. The former creative director of Imitation of Christ will debut the collection during New York Fashion Week as a latecomer to the show schedule.
According to WWD, Sevigny has teamed up with Opening Ceremony owner Humberto Leon and "some friends," to get the collection ready in time for fashion week.
Vogue.co.uk is already predicting quirky, one-off, vintage-inspired pieces and with Sevigny involved we wouldn't be surprised if that is what's presented either.

I know.

Looking foward to all sorts of stuff in NYC though... Miss Sixty, BCBG, LAMB, Cynthia Steffe, Jill Stuart, Tracy Reese, Carolina Herrera, Oscar de La Renta, Calvin Kline and of course, Donna Karan.

American fashion is highly underrated.

Taxi to the runway: New York gears up for fashion shows of spring lines

Fashion is as much business enterprise as it is creative endeavor, which makes New York's biannual style week a serious and major undertaking for designers who use it as a platform to share their artistic visions. From sketches and fabric purchases to invitations and staging, more than 100 designers and labels each will spend tens of thousands of dollars to show their spring '08 lines during Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week, which begins Wednesday and ends Sept. 12.

The publicly private fashionpalooza, invitation-only but broadcast around the globe, is about big names, big stakes and big bucks. Mercedes-Benz returned this year as title sponsor. There are about 20 other lower-tiered sponsors, ranging from fashion names such as Judith Ripka, MAC, Lycra and Havaianas to corporate giants DHL, MetLife, Continental Airlines and American Express.

James Yoest, a Pittsburgher who earned a master's degree last year from the Academy of Art University's School of Fashion in San Francisco, will debut a spring collection. The North Hills Senior High School and Indiana University of Pennsylvania graduate will present his designs along with eight other AAU alumni at 7 p.m. Saturday at the tents. His collection is made of organic, conventional and reused textiles created by designer Sharon Chia-Yu Yeh.

Increasingly, some fashion labels aren't waiting for fashion week organizers 7th on Sixth to kick things off at the tents. More and more designers are taking advantage of the early arrival of some media and trying to prevent scheduling conflicts with other designers by offering viewings prior to the official fashion week opening day. Elie Tahari, for example, is again hosting an informal walk-through tomorrow afternoon in a showroom across the street from Bryant Park.

The park is off Avenue of the Americas between 41st and 43rd streets, and events snarl traffic 24/7 for fashion week's eight-day run. Rumors persist that city officials want event organizers to find somewhere else to hold it each September and February.

At the same time, the number of fashion shows and related events elsewhere in Manhattan grows each season. Although most of the big names show at the tents, Bryant Park's cost outweighs its convenience for some designers, who consider a club, a restaurant, a museum or a library an adequate substitute.

Ralph Lauren, who routinely shows off-site with the sanction of fashion week organizers, celebrates his 40th year Saturday with a presentation at the Central Park Conservancy Garden. Among others, Tommy Hilfiger is showing in the Hammerstein Ballroom, Baby Phat rented the Roseland Ballroom, Yeohlee shows at The W Hotel Union Square and Angel Devil, a five-year-old Italian label that has become popular across Europe, will be at the Bryant Park Grill.

John Varvatos returns to 7 World Trade Center for a show at 7 p.m. next Monday. When he and Miss Sixty presented there last season, some New Yorkers attending fashion week stayed away because of the residual emotional toll of the 9/11 bombings that brought down several of the buildings during fashion week in 2001.

"For many New Yorkers, the idea of using Ground Zero neighborhood for fashion during the 9/11 anniversary is more disbelief, especially since there is still no permanent memorial tribute to those lost individuals," said Tom Julian, a fashion trend analyst who lived in the nearby Chelsea neighborhood when the attacks occurred.

He understands the site's lure, however, noting that "for the fashion world, lower Manhattan has become attractive, unique, distinct." Recently, it has become home to high-end stores such as Hermes and Thomas Pink and to designer condos for Giorgio Armani and others.

There's always a fun charity show. This time it's "Snoopy in Fashion," a group designer presentation Friday sponsored by MetLife. Betsey Johnson, Isaac Mizrahi, Pamella Roland and other designers will show one-of-a-kind outfits inspired by "Peanuts" characters, and the creations will be auctioned later on eBay with proceeds benefiting Dress for Success.

"I love 'Peanuts' because it represents a theme in my childhood to do with not fitting in, with being an outsider," Mizrahi said. "The 'Peanuts' characters, especially Charlie Brown, made the issue of being different easy to understand and gave it a resolution. The outsiders were as wonderful and glamorous as the insiders."

Some interesting events are staged by organizations other than 7th on Sixth, the corporate structure that runs fashion week and is affiliated with the Council of Fashion Designers of America trade group.

One of the biggest, and growing, is the four-year-old STYLE360 organized by LIVEstyle Entertainment and HFM Media U.S., publisher of ELLE and a dozen sister magazines.

The four-day event at the Metropolitan Pavilion North will feature eight designers, including 2(x)ist, Loris Diran, Farah A. Angsana and Ghita, designed by rapper Kanye West's fiancee, Alexis Phifer.

The event also includes presentation of the winner of a design competition at the Mercury Style Award Designer Show, a Sylvia Heisel fashion show and party and the "Brown and White Ball" at Henri Bendel celebrating the store's 100th birthday.

Each year, the event attracts more buyers, media and corporate sponsors, said David Manning, executive producer at LIVEstyle Entertainment.

"Snoopy in Fashion" Hmm, it could be really fun - I wonder if anyone will do a kite-eating tree!
