| The fashion trade is booming in recent years, a fashion show is an event put on by a fashion designer to showcase his or her upcoming line of clothing during Fashion Week. Fashion shows debut every season, particularly the Spring/Summer and custom aprons. This is where the latest fashion trends are made. The two most influential fashion weeks are Paris Fashion Week and New York Fashion Week, which are both semiannual events. In a typical fashion show, models walk the catwalk dressed in the clothing created by the designer. Occasionally, fashion shows take the form of installations, where the models are static, standing or sitting in a constructed environment. It is then up to the audience to not only try to understand what the designer is trying to say by the way the collection is being presented, but to also visually deconstruct each outfit and try to appreciate the detail and custom aprons of every single piece. A wide range of contemporary designers tend to produce their shows as theatrical productions with elaborate sets and added elements such as live music or a variety of technological components like holograms, for example. Large department stores such as Wanamaker's in New York City and Philadelphia were also staging fashion shows. These events showed couture gowns from Paris or the store's copies of them; they aimed to demonstrate the owners' good taste and capture the attention of female shoppers. American designers began to hold their own fashion shows in private spaces apart from such retailers. However, many in the fashion world began to rethink this strategy. After several mishaps during shows in small, unsafe locations, "the general sentiment was, 'We love fashion but we don't want to die for it,'" recalls Fern, then executive director of the Council of Fashion Designers of America. In response to these custom aprons, the New York shows were centralized in Bryant Park during fashion week. Lately from the 2000 to today, fashion shows are usually also filmed and appear on specially assigned television channels or even in documentaries. |
