There have been a lot of sad faces over New York Fashion Week encroaching on London Fashion Week’s turf (now down to just a few days), and now, Paris Fashion Week may be cut a bit short, too, due to the cuts in everybody’s cash flow:
According to WWD, Alber Elbaz has moved his longstanding show date - the last day of Paris Fashion Week - up to the first day of the Paris week, showing right after Dior.
He says he wants to be “easier” on editors and buyers traveling on a more cost-cutting schedule this season, meaning, there must be a lot of editors planning on ditching Paris as soon as the really good shows are over.
Meaning? Fashion Week is disappearing bit by bit. But, you know, you already knew that.

I really love this site and I've been an avid reader for a really long time. But the pessimism isn't welcomed anymore when it comes to Fashion Week, the industry, etc.
We know it's bad, we know we're losing everything bit by bit, but maybe it's time to realize that people don't want to hear this. We know it's news, but maybe it's time for something a little more optimistic, Fashionista. Do what we've always loved you for, the funny, witty comments and the insider info and cute features. Not this "Fashion Week's dying, the industry is dying, this store is closing" news.
A little more upbeat would be amazing.
