We are about one month away from the official start of Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week in New York City.  The Spring 2011 season will make its debut in the new site located at Lincoln Center from September 9th to September 16th.  There are exciting changes in store for invited attendees.  Lincoln Center has four rooms – Box, Stage, Studio and Theatre instead of the three that were at the Tents.  That’s in additon to all the digital upgrades designed to make the registration, credential and seating process a lot smoother.  Make sure you’re fully rested for all the shows, there are over 90 designers scheduled to show their collections.  Check out the schedule listed below.  Who are you looking forward to see this season?
