September 11^th influence on fashion week in New York

• Increase of Cashmere and other comforting fabrics begin to be sold as well as flats being wore rather than the typical heal worn.
• Use of any military references become off limits and not appropriate
• This particular fashion week had a feeling of not as much urgency, and low key.
• Some designers and others decided not to show at all
• Some faithful designers still showed their stuff at New York’s Fashion Week such as Tommy Hilfiger, Michael Kors, Calvin Klein.

Synthesis:

This article shows that the September 11^th terrorist attack has held a large effect even on the fashion industry and people are being affected even by the way people dress. The industry held a huge concern on what was appropriate and to make sure not to awe anyone to an uncomfortable degree like they may have in previous years due to the sensitive state of our country. It seems that the already faithful designers still showed their loyalty to the show but this show was much more tame than usual.
