Who Knew? Fashion Week Trivia

New York, London, Milan and Paris host the four most important annual Fashion Weeks.

In 1943, Fashion Week was called "Press Week" and it was held at The Plaza Hotel.

Fashion publicist Eleanor Lambert also helped establish the careers of Bill Blass and Oscar de la Renta.

More than 30 makeup artists and stylists help models prepare for each show, which can take from two to three hours.

After disputes between designers and Bryant Park's management, Fashion Week moved to Lincoln Center in 2011.

While most shows are held at Lincoln Center, about 40 more are part of Made Fashion Week at Milk Studios in Chelsea.

Carmen Dell'Orefice, 81, walked the Norisol Ferrari spring/summer 2013 show this year.

The world's wealthiest model, Gisele Bündchen, walked in Alexander Wang's fall 2012 show.

There are approximately 116,000 attendees for each season (spring and fall), with press from more than 30 countries.

Of the four major Fashion Week cities, NYC is the only one that doesn't have a separate week for men's collections.
