#FBF First Ever Fashion Week
Today were giving our Flashback Friday to the first ever Fashion Week which launched in 1943 in the city of New York. The first New York Fashion Week was held to distract French fashion during World War II; Workers in the fashion industry we unable to travel to Paris. This was the perfect opportunity as before World War II, American designers were taught to rely on French couture for inspiration. The event was originally called Press Week and was organised by Publicist Eleanor Lambert who put the even together to showcase the work of American designers who's work had previously been ignored by journalists. Eleanor's work took over the world with Paris holding couture show's in 1945 and Fashion week in 1973, Milan in 1958 and London in 1984.
Fashion Week speaks volumes across the globe not only for the celebrities that attend the shows but the art and creative process behind the runways; garments taking months to create with some of the worlds most luxury fabrics and embellishments. Fashion as we know it is a way of life and can show the world your character or mood just through what you wear, a lifestyle that brings the world in unity no matter where or who you are.
