“From the hundreds of thousands of jobs it creates to the billions of dollars of economic impact generated each year, the fashion industry contributes so much to New York City, and I’m thrilled that New York Fashion Week will bring so much excitement and energy to its new homes at Skylight Clarkson Sq and Skylight at Moynihan Station,” said Mayor Bill de Blasio in a statement addressing the move.
As for Skylight Clarkson Sq., located on the western fringes of Soho on Washington St. just south of Houston St., Studios 1 and 3 will be used for NYFW showings, accommodating 250 and 500 guests, respectively. The space will have a catwalk-packed warm-up this summer, when the inaugural New York Fashion Week: Men’s takes place at Skylight Clarkson Sq. from July 13th to 16th.

What a great venue it will be for all RTW designer’s. It’s all about bringing people (Journalists, Blogger’s and Reporter’s) together to socialize on the fundamentals of trends as well as creativity.
