Mayor Bloomberg Kicks Off Inaugural Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week at Lincoln Center, Renames the No. 1 Subway Line The Fashion Line For the Week
Sep. 8, 2010   |  
Starting tomorrow, one of the world's most eye-catching events comes to one of the world’s greatest cultural institutions, as we kick off Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week at Lincoln Center. Every year, the events pump hundreds of millions of dollars into the City's economy and support the 175,000 people who work in New York City’s fashion industry. Lincoln Center is an ideal location for the semi-annual events, with more outdoor space than was available at Bryant Park and terrific transit access, including the No. 1 subway line, or as it will be called this week: The Fashion Line.
