Less than a week from now, New York City sheds its winter weather doldrums and welcomes Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week once again for a whole new season of outstanding designer collections.
After this Fall/Winter 2015 showing, changes are in store for the twice-yearly fashion event. It may seem as if Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week New York Fall/Winter 2015Â Â just began showing trend-setting seasonal collections not too long ago at the fashionably chic Lincoln Center in the heart of New York City after years of the event calling the white tents of Bryant Park its home. However, now Lincoln Center will be a venue of the past as the event looks to move on for future fashion weeks beginning with the September 2015 Fashion Week. This signifies a rebirth of New York Fashion Week, a reinvention of style to its highest degree. The search for the ultimate venue is now underway.

What better way to begin the event then with another installment of VFILES Made Fashion.
