When do fashion weeks happen

There weren't many ball gowns shown this season, however, tea-length and floor-length dresses with heels or sneakers was a prevalent theme. Christopher Kane featured many tea-length dresses and coats in a variety of materials and designs. Many British designers also featured designs with asymmetrical and non-conventional accessories. Case in point: Webster's wing adorned shoes, pixie-themed handbags and elf-inspired statement jewelry. Missoni had its 20th anniversary and it featured 70s inspired designs with a touch of pastel colors giving a light and airy spring season vibe.

Arguably the star of Milan fashion week was Versace's tribute to Donatella's late brother Gianni. The line featured 90s inspired designs from Gianni's heyday with a mix of looks inspired by the millennial generation.

Perhaps the most memorable part of the show and Milan fashion week itself was the finale that included the supermodels of the 90s era I. Naomi Campbell, Cindy Crawford and Helena Christianson wearing chain-mail dresses to close the epic tribute show. More info. Fashion Week is one of key events in the world of fashion.

Most probably, not everyone had a chance to take part in such events, and it would be interesting for you to learn about what it is, and how and when it all happens. We will tell you about it in more detail. Fashion Week is an event where designers present their fashion collection to public for the first time. Fashion week is held twice a year — in spring and in fall — in many countries.

There are Chinese, Brazilian, Turkish, Japanese fashion weeks. However major cities, where the most famous designers in the world present their collections , are New York, London, Milan , and Paris. In between the major fashion weeks there might be showings of interseasonal collections.

For everything there is a season -- this applies to fashion just as much as anything else in life. Fashion divides itself into seasons which sometimes may be tough to keep up with.

If you'd like a little more insight into when fashion seasons start, getting the hang of it shouldn't take too long. Fashion is split into four seasons. Resort collections overlap the first two seasons and are offered around late October through December. It's pretty easy to see why these seasons cause confusion. Fashion's retail calendar is a lot different from the traditional calendar. Retailers like to start selling spring clothes early. Fall merchandise arrives in stores around July, to catch back-to-school shoppers.

When a new season comes in, you'll notice the prior season will generally go on sale. All of these tactics are used to maximize sales. Resort season can be especially confusing.
