New NYC Fashion Week venue

There will be a new venue for emerging designers at New York's Bryant Park during the next Olympus Fashion Week this autumn.

The new venue, entitled "UPS Delivers Fashion's Future", is a joint venture by 7th on Sixth and UPS. The venue will be able to take 300 guests and will house state-of-the-art professional services and facilities. Most importantly it will feature the collecitons of ten emerging designers who will have been chosen by a panel of industry specialists.

"Olympus Fashion Week is the showcase of the American fashion industry and to have this venue be a part of the event not only brings attention to deserving designers, but also sets the tone for the industry worldwide to begin working more visibly with the next generation of fashion designers," Fern Mallis, Executive Director of 7th on Sixth and Vice President of IMG, told FWD.
