Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Kicks Off the Autumn Season in NYC
You know it’s officially fall when you start hearing about the Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week in New York City this time of year.
This season’s event took place earlier this month between September 5 and 12. And even though it’s over, people are still ranting and raving about the fashion and lifestyle offerings at the Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week in NYC. And in the midst of hurricanes ravaging parts of the country and an economy that seems to be in a downward spiral, the event helped take some people’s mind away from those things, if only for a couple days.
Michael Fink, the vice president and director of women’s fashion at Saks Fifth Avenue, had this to say about the uplifting event: “I feel great. There is enough new and exciting and emotional [sic] for our customers to pick up.”
One of the more optimistic collections came from Michael Kors’ spring collection. His sportswear was reminiscent of the Beach Boys and hanging around at the beach.” He described it himself as something surfers would wear if they went to the country club. He also cited the recent Olympics as one of his inspirations for the collection. The presence of celebrities also added to the optimistic atmosphere, including Bette Midler, Heidi Klum, several Olympic athletes and many others.
