Spring 2013 Catwalkers: The Show Packages, Revealed!

The frenzy of Spring 2013 Fashion Week has barely just begun, but for models, bookers, and casting agents, the flurry of the season has been going strong for weeks.

by Christina Perez

The frenzy of Spring 2013 Fashion Week has barely just begun, but for models, bookers, and casting agents, the flurry of the season has been going strong for weeks.

Nowhere is there more evidence of that than in the season's show packages. Those glorious sets of model cards that each agency meticulously selects and designs — often with the help of a talented artist or graphic illustrator — to showcase who among their roster of girls will be available to walk the shows. The packages go out weeks before the presentations start, and not only do they serve as a way to introduce new models, they also set the tone for the whole season.

So which among them are our favorites for Spring 2013? Well, there's the quirky take on patriotism from One Model Management, the brightly hued, bloom-filled offering from Trump, and a whimsically drawn selection from IMG — complete with video featuring the contributing artist, Danny Roberts — for starters.

A peek at all those — plus the packs from Marilyn, Fusion, and more — here in the slideshow.

>> MAC & Milk, the downtown centralized New York Fashion Week venue alternative to Lincoln Center, is expanding its venue offering as it heads into its fourth season. Until this season, all shows have been centralized in the Milk Studios building, but through a partnership with The Standard Hotel, MAC & Milk will have a satellite venue at the hotel's High Line Room in the Meatpacking District, set to be used by up and coming designer labels like Study NY, Bensoni, and Honor.

“We have a new lineup with some new designers, as well as a satellite operation at the Standard Hotel for presentations and shows, including some new emerging designers, which is a new dimension,” John Demsey, group president of Estee Lauder and MAC, said. “We have expanded the geographical territory of using the Meatpacking District.” Mazdack Rassi, creative director of Milk Studios, added: “It’s a community idea as well."

MAC & Milk is working on 20 Lincoln Center shows, 39 staged at MAC & Milk, and 32 off-site shows in total for the Fall 2011 season. And there may be even more big changes by next season — IMG Fashion, which currently has a five year contract to host Fashion Week at Lincoln Center, is rumored to be in talks with MAC & Milk about a partnership that would see IMG help run MAC & Milk in future seasons. Both MAC & Milk and IMG declined comment on the matter.

Lincoln Center Reveals Plans For New and Improved NYFW as Fern Mallis Steps Down

Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week is getting a new look and some additional features this September.

by coutorture

Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week is getting a new look and some additional features this September. Yesterday, IMG Fashion (minus Fern Mallis who resigned Wednesday after nine years as global ambassador to start her own consulting firm) announced plans for the new and improved New York Fashion Week at Lincoln Center.

Say goodbye to Bryant Park's Tent, Salon, and Promenade; the spring 2011 collections will be shown in one of five new venues: The Theatre (with all black interior, it can seat 969 people), The Stage (slightly smaller, decorated in white and gray), The Studio (the smallest runway space), The Box (a presentation room), and The Courtyard (a glass-encased outdoor space for events and presentations).

Lincoln Center, with the help of director of fashion Stephanie Winston Wolkoff, promises to offer designers more options for runway configuration, lighting, and stage sets this season and is partnering with Fashion GPS to manage guest lists and RSVPs. A brand new website with designer and press contact information is also part of the plan.

Former head designer at Jil Sander, Pierangelo D'Agostin, will be joining J. Lindeberg as their new design director.

Department stores have started to cough up their freebies and, naturally, a depressing line outside of Macy's forms.

Another behind the scenes video has dropped, this one for the Louis Vuitton Spring 09 ad campaign with Madonna.

Prada and LG Group have teamed up for the second time with a new Prada Phone with a set of unique features that is likely to please both technology and fashion fans. It has a QWERTY keyboard, video calling, a 5 mega-pixel camera with Schneider-Kreuznach lens, a full HTML browser and an ultra-thin keyboard.

J.C Penney has signed a deal to distribute Charlotte Ronson at 600 of their stores. Impressive work for a quasi-celebrity contemporary designer.

Munich based Stylebop has launched an ecommerce shop in the United States.

Smashbox Studio and IMG will be parting ways after Sunday's Los Angeles Fashion Week.

In some parts of the world there really are the fashion police and its not a funny joke. More than 35 young women wearing tight trousers were arrested in South Sudan for disturbing the peace, senior police officials said on Tuesday.

And finally for those confused by baggy trousers a guide to figuring it all out.

IMG Parts Ways with LA Fashion Week

>> After over a month of rumors, Smashbox Studios finally confirmed that it was ending its five year partnership with IMG after Spring 2009 LA Fashion Week closes Oct.

by POPSUGAR Fashion News

>> After over a month of rumors, Smashbox Studios finally confirmed that it was ending its five year partnership with IMG after Spring 2009 LA Fashion Week closes Oct. 16.

Dean and Davis Factor, co-owners of Smashbox, the current LAFW venue, wanted to relocate the event closer to Hollywood, "take it to the next level," but "New York is [IMG's] big focus and it’s difficult with everything they have going on all over the world. It would be hard for them to do LA on the level they do New York. My brother and I can."

So where does that leave LA Fashion Week? As part of its agreement with the Factors, IMG is not able to produce a Fashion Week, so it's all up to the brothers, who say they remain committed to the event. Ideally, they're looking at Hollywood rather than the current Culver City location: "Hollywood embraces the city of Los Angeles, there’s so much creative stuff to take advantage of here, the red carpet, costume design, stylists, everything from the surf industry to Maxfield’s."

But it may not be in the same runway show form: "We’re going a completely different route." Will all the new changes be effective in harnessing a spot as the fifth major Fashion Week? The Factors have their work cut out for them.
