NYC Fashion Week Starts Tomorrow! How To Follow It Online!

Here we go, New York!  Fashion Week kicks off tomorrow, September 7th, and the mayhem of designers, models and press sweep the streets (well, the roped off areas.)


Given the very VIP stature of many shows in tandem with the extreme popularity of social media and the web, designers are once again leveraging the online world to reach far larger audiences.  Many brands will be live streaming the runway performance on their websites, Facebook Pages, YouTube and Livestream. Footage from backstage, as well as from the press, will be uploaded to Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr and Instagram as well.  


Tune into the YouTube channel "LiveRunway" to view all the shows in accordance with the schedule below.  The channel has also been optimized for your mobile phones and can be reached by following: m.youtube.com/liverunway.
