What is a Fashion Week?
In the fashion industry, a fashion week is an event that is held for the purpose of allowing fashion designers and fashion houses to showcase their latest collections on the fashion runway. There are numerous fashion week events held around the world, but the most distinguished fashion week events are the ones held in the fashion capitals such as Paris, New York City, London and Milan.

A typical Fashion Week event lasts for a period of 1 week.

When are Fashion Weeks held?

The major fashion week events are held twice per year to showcase Spring collections (January - March) and Fall Collections (September - November). The events are usually held several months in advance of the start of the season so that press and buyers can have a chance to preview the designs for the upcoming fashion season.

Fashion week events are usually attended by buyers for major store outlets, fashion magazine editors, celebrities, media and other people in entertainment.
