Bryant Park will no longer be home to New York’s Fashion Week

Mercedes Benz Fashion Week is currently underway at Bryant Park. Unfortunetly though, this is the last year the park will see runways, models and top designers. 

It’s no secret Bryant Park has hosted New York’s Fashion week for nearly sixteen years.  But, the time has come where park officials are ready to bring the park back to laid back park goers, allowing them to enjoy a skating rink in the winter and 8 acres of the main lawn in the summer. 

It seems as though Fashion Week has outgrown the park with such a  large fashionable crowd. A crowd that has consistently grown over the last few years, and the event may be better suited for Lincoln Center Damrosch Park, starting next year.  Lincoln Center has 16 acres of performance venues and public spaces to offer the Fashion Industry, leaving alot more room for designers and guests to work with.

The move isn’t planned until September 2010, allowing this September and February events to happen successfully. Afterwards, designers will be packing up and moving to their new home, Lincoln Center Damrosch Park, located at the southwest corner of the Lincoln Center Plaza, at 62nd Street, sitting peacefully between Columbus and Amsterdam Avenues.
