America took its fashion direction from the stars of Hollywood, and Hollywood (as well as the rest of the world) took its cues from the fashion houses of Paris. However, in 1943 as WWII continued, an opportunity emerged for American fashion. With Paris under Nazi control, the US and the rest of the world were cut off from fashion news for the first time.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In New York, the garment industry was mainly based on manufacturing trade and not creating seasonal designs. Once Paris established trends, US-based fashion labels would copy them shortly after. Eleanor Lambert saw this as an opportunity to help US manufacturing and thus established a \u201cPress Week\u201d to promote NYC fashion shows. This semi-annual event amplified American fashion while France was occupied, and allowed American designers to develop their own influence &#8211; separate from Paris. Other countries soon followed suit and created their own sponsored Fashion Weeks.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>NYFW: Now<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Since the \u201990s, NYFW has been evolving, undergoing various changes to locations and sponsorships. In February 2010, while being held in Bryant Park, disputes arose between show organizers and park officials. This season marked the last of the midtown shows. Afterward, the shows moved uptown to Lincoln Center. By September of 2013, the venue was deemed unappealing due to the crowds and sponsors. Several prominent designers moved their shows to other venues or even showrooms throughout the five boroughs. Some unconventional locations include a former post office and a dead-end street in Bushwick, where Alexander Wang presented his Spring 2018 collection.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Technological advancements of the 21st century brought unforeseen innovation to NYFW. Starting in 2011, when livestreaming rose in popularity, designers assimilated by streaming shows on YouTube and other similar platforms. Social media also significantly impacted NYFW. In 2015, the CFDA hired a consulting group to study these new influences and thus could update future NYFW events accordingly. Initially, Fashion Week was focused on industry insiders, buyers, and magazine editors &#8211; giving them a preview of what upcoming trends and styles would be arriving in stores six months later. But the immediate nature of social media created the question of whether or not the delay between runway shows and in-store availability should be shortened. This line of questioning resulted in a new construct that some designers tested for their public shows; the \u201csee now, buy now\u201d option. See now, buy now allowed some items shown on the runway to be available for purchase immediately after, or even <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">during<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> the show.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/rebag.com\/thevault\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/hanifa-3d-hero-1920&#215;1080-1.jpg&#8221; alt=&#8221;Hanifa\u2019s Digital Fashion Show&#8221; title_text=&#8221;Hanifa\u2019s Digital Fashion Show&#8221; align=&#8221;center&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.5.1&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; module_alignment=&#8221;center&#8221;][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.5.1&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; text_text_color=&#8221;#999999&#8243; text_font_size=&#8221;13px&#8221; text_line_height=&#8221;24px&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hanifa\u2019s Digital Fashion Show with 3D Models <br \/><\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Courtesy of @HANIFAOFFICIAL on Instagram<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.5.1&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; max_width=&#8221;750px&#8221; module_alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;||62px|||&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h2>NYFW: The Future<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Many are left wondering what the future of NYFW will look like with the pandemic\u2019s lasting presence. So far, the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/cfda.com\/fashion-calendar\/important-dates\/upcoming\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">CFDA<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> has been cautiously optimistic. Although Fashion Week was not canceled, it has been shortened to three days. Modernization is a must &#8211; and the fashion industry needs to update its platforms to meet the needs of today\u2019s digital world. London set an example by rolling out \u201cLondon Fashion Week Digital\u201d &#8211; <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">a combined week of men\u2019s and women\u2019s online content, which will offer followers everything from <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.vogue.com\/fashion-shows\/spring-2021-menswear\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">lookbooks<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to playlists curated by designers.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Shortly after, Paris had digital couture and menswear presentations with videos from various brands.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These new formats still leave many wondering what new technology is in the works. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/hanifa.co\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hanifa<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> set a groundbreaking example on Instagram Live with renderings on 3D models. Other high-tech possibilities that could be used in lieu of physical shows are CGI and image capture. Fashion has officially entered the wild world of technology, where reality meets fantasy, and the sky&#8217;s the limit. If you can imagine it, fashion can make it happen.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But how do you emulate the heady buzz of being at a fashion show? Part of the experience is seeing the crowds, the people watching, the smells, and the emotions that a virtual show cannot (yet) offer. The digital and physical fashion world must somehow work to compliment each other. One option being explored is smaller shows live-streamed online via social media with multiple cameras. Another option is a mix of live and virtual reality. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The future of Fashion Week may be uncertain. Still, with the help of technology and innovation, NYFW will continue to inspire fashion experts &amp; lovers everywhere.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>\n<\/h2>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=&#8221;4.5.1&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; width=&#8221;100%&#8221; max_width=&#8221;1300px&#8221; custom_margin_tablet=&#8221;&#8221; custom_margin_phone=&#8221;&#8221; custom_margin_last_edited=&#8221;on|tablet&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;|40px|0px|40px|false|false&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.5.1&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.5.1&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\">You May Also Like&#8230;<\/h3>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_blog fullwidth=&#8221;off&#8221; posts_number=&#8221;3&#8243; include_categories=&#8221;27,25&#8243; use_manual_excerpt=&#8221;off&#8221; excerpt_length=&#8221;0&#8243; show_author=&#8221;off&#8221; show_date=&#8221;off&#8221; show_categories=&#8221;off&#8221; show_excerpt=&#8221;off&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.5.1&#8243; header_font=&#8221;Canela-Light|||on|||||&#8221; header_text_align=&#8221;center&#8221; meta_font=&#8221;Maison Book||||||||&#8221; meta_text_align=&#8221;center&#8221; meta_text_color=&#8221;#999999&#8243; width=&#8221;100%&#8221; max_width=&#8221;1300px&#8221; module_alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;16px||0px||false|false&#8221; hover_transition_duration=&#8221;0ms&#8221; hover_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243; border_width_all=&#8221;0px&#8221;][\/et_pb_blog][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Can traditions adapt?
