Description

New York Fashion Week has served many purposes all over its long history, however it has at all times remained on the center of the American fashion world. All through World War II, Fashion Week challenged the dominance of French couture; in the 1970s and 1980s, it used to be a showcase for American sportswear stars who became household names; in the 2000s, it used to be the stage for celebrity designers the use of the runway as a vehicle for entertainment; and now, it’s the place to see and be seen by latest reality TV and social media stars. Now, this illustrious history is told as it’s never been told before, in a book packed with designer interviews, behind the scenes ephemera, and exclusive photographs culled from all 75 years of New York Fashion Week. Part historical over­view, part scrapbook, and part fashion-industry field guide, American Runway will bring to life the people, places, and over-the-top runway productions of New York Fashion Week—and will sate the appetites of die-hard fashion fans and casual fashionistas alike.
