Grand Central to The Public Library: 6 Over-the-Top NYFW Locations

Posted by , on August 31, 2012 at 3:15 pm

Grand Central Station is playing host to Marchesa's fashion show this season: we can only imagine models dodging rushing commuters in floor-length ballgowns.

In complete opposition to Grand Central, Thom Browne and Victoria Beckham are opting for the refined -- and quiet -- location of the New York City Public Library.

The Armory has played host to Marc Jacobs' insane collections for some time now and will again this year, but it has also notably housed Tommy Hilfiger's show as well as many others in the past.

Philosophy by Alberta Ferretti will match her luxurious collection with the opulent setting of the Oak Room, an extremely over-the-top grandiose restaurant.

It's not a secret that the Olsen sisters love themselves some lavish treatment and surroundings. For their CFDA Award winning line the Row, they'll be showing at the mega-lush hotel, the Carlyle.

Minimalist and it-girl favorite, Theyskens' Theory, will be showing a post office this season (we'll be bringing along our Netflix and bills for this one!)

The days of Bryant Park hosting New York Fashion Week seem like a distant memory at this point. Now two years into its stint as the new venue for fashion week, Lincoln Center no longer seems to be the de facto location for designers to show their collections. We figured designers were opting for somewhat less expensive settings off-site — but then we noticed that even the indie favorite Milk Studios isn’t hosting quite as many presentations this season, either.

This season, a slew of designers are going far beyond merely installing props and opting for grand-scale locations — some of which are wonderfully, grandly New York. Take, for example, Marchesa, who will be showing Spring 2013 in one of the city’s most spectacular venues, Grand Central. Some designers are even opting to show at the massive Post Office near 34th Street.

Here, we’ve created a guide to the most incredible locations that some of the city’s top designers have chosen as venues for their shows this season.
