Origin as "Press Week" under New York Dress Institute
The first New York Fashion Week was created in 1943 by Eleanor Lambert, press director of the American fashion industry’s first promotional organization, the New York Dress Institute.[9]
The event, the world's first-ever organized fashion week, was called "Press Week," and was created to attract attention away from French fashion during World War II, when fashion industry insiders were unable to travel to Paris to see French fashion shows.[10] It was also meant to showcase American designers for fashion journalists, who had previously neglected U.S. fashion innovations.
Press Week was a success, and fashion magazines like Vogue, which were normally filled with French designs, increasingly featured American fashion.[10]
By the mid-1950s, the event was known as "Press Week of New York." Spring 1951 (held February 1951) was the 16th Annual Press Week of New York.[11]
CFDA Consolidates "Press Week" Events as "7th on Sixth"
In 1993, the Council of Fashion Designers of America, led by Fern Mallis, consolidated the citywide events known as "New York Fashion Week" by staging them in a cluster of white tents in Bryant Park.[12][13][14] The event was branded with the trademark "7th on Sixth."[15]
CFDA Sells "7th on Sixth" to IMG
In 2001, "7th on Sixth" was sold to IMG.[16]
Mercedes-Benz Becomes IMG Events Title Sponsor
In 2007,[17] Mercedes-Benz became title sponsor of the IMG-produced events, adding New York to its roster of international "Mercedes-Benz fashion weeks,"[18] and dubbing it "MB Fashion Week New York."[19]
IMG / Mercedez-Benz Shows Relocation to Lincoln Center
In 2010, IMG / Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week New York left the Bryant Park tents, relocating to the Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts.[20][21]
Live Streaming of Events
In September 2011, New York designers began live-streaming runway shows, following London, who began in February 2010.[22][23] Streams were originally offered on YouTube, and now on NewYorkFashionWeekLIVE.com.
IMG Sold to WME, Forming WME | IMG
In 2013, IMG and their New York Fashion Week events were sold to William Morris Endeavor and Silver Lake Partners for $2.3 billion.[24][25]
Separately, CFDA Acquires Citywide Fashion Calendar
In 2014, the Council of Fashion Designers of America acquired the "official" New York Fashion Week calendar (a list of citywide fashion events beyond IMG) from Ruth Finley, who had managed it for more than 60 years.[26][27]

On December 12, 2014, a New York state court approved a settlement in a lawsuit by community activists over whether allowing the Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week tents in Damrosch Park was a violation of the public trust doctrine. In accordance with the settlement, the City of New York, the New York City Department of Parks and Recreation, and Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts agreed not to renew their contract with IMG. As a result, the February 2015 Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week will be the last one staged in Damrosch Park.[35]
