Fashion industry professionals are pouring into the tents to preview the new looks for spring and summer 2010.

New York Fashion Week, recently branded Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week, is a semiannual fashion week held in New York City. It is one of four major fashion weeks in the fashion industry.

Organizers estimate more than 100,000 people will pass through the tents during the eight-day event.

The first New York Fashion Week, then called Press Week, was the world’s first organized fashion week. Held in 1943, the event was designed 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.
