Is Fashion Week Losing its Relevance?: With an overstuffed schedule, little time for breaks, and thousands of reporters, bloggers, photographers, and editors vying for front row seats, The New York Times's Eric Wilson asks if Fashion Week is losing its relevance. Even the designers appear to be over the spectacle that Fashion Week has become, with Joseph Altuzarra describing the week as "depressing" and "panic-inducing." The point of the week—which can really now be described as Fashion Month, since the last show closes October 3 in Paris—is to let retailers and editors preview collections in advance so they can promote the pieces before they hit shelves 6 months later. But, in the age of the Internet and instant communication, this function, Wilson says, seems largely lost. [The New York Times]
