Mac and Lester are The Hardy Gays – FashionIndie’s Queen Detectives; stumbling about solving crimes of fashion with nothing but our wits and impeccably-styled outfits. During New York Fashion Week, a feeling of perplexity and disappointment at the Mercedez-Benz Tents turned out to be a mystery that needed our particular attention.

Ever since Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week moved from the tents at Bryant Park to the metaphorical tents at Lincoln Center, more and more designers have opted instead of external sites to hold their fashion shows. One of the most popular venues, Milk Studios, is now in direct competition with Lincoln Center for both sponsors and designers.

I just sneak previewed the film that has crept its way into the belly of New York’s fashionable whale. It found three glasses of Chandon and a dime-size hors d’oeuvre dinner. It also found the history of New York Fashion Week, which evolved from a goose chase of Manhattan’s shabbier locales to an editor-friendly runway machine inside Tents that house the most fabulous of circus on the planet. The Tents: The NY Fashion Week Documentary gives a proper remembrance to the 18 years in Bryant Park where fashion changed. Through interviews with Donna, Calvin, Betsey, Isaac, Carolina, Zac, Tommy, editors and NYFW creators, we get an über dramatic (“Editors had to take taxis all over town, HORRIBLE!”), yet pretty darn accurate collective fashion saga. Watch the chill-inducing trailer here.

In the shade of skyscrapers on the hardest of concrete, finding a space to lay your body down under the sun to catch a few rays can seem impossible. Your fair sheltered skin is begging for a tan, and we all know tanning beds are not the answer, so we’ve scoured the city for places to lay out. Some of these places are free for all. Others are free of all other people. However you choose to do it, here’s where to find the sun in Manhattan.

We all know what Fashion Week is, but, tell me Alfie, do we know what it’s all about? Let’s take a brief road trip down History Highway to discover what New York Fashion Week was once upon a seam and from whence it came. I’d buckle up because mom’s already gotten into the wine coolers.

Fern Mallis, the woman behind New York’s Mercedes -Benz Fashion Week, said “sayonara” to IMG yesterday in hopes of pursuing her own consulting firm, Fern Mallis LLC. After nine years on the job, Mallis is using Fashion Week’s move from Bryant Park to Lincoln Center as closure on her chapter at IMG. But don’t worry, Mallis won’t be too far from the fashion frenzy…IMG Fashion is her first client!
