WHAT WE CARE ABOUT THIS WEEK

W, V, and T… Cue the espresso machines: Fashion Week’s move this year from venerable Bryant Park
to modernist Lincoln Center means that style editors will have to wake up a bit earlier

On the IRT
The this week than in years past. (The only beneficiary is Hearst, about six blocks away.) We’d
Breakdown heard rumblings of test runs to figure out the quickest way from here to there, so we de-
cided to provide this handy map, made with a little help from hopstop.com. Here’s hopin’
it prevents T, V and W from getting on the N, Q or R!  —Alexandria Symonds

“Well, I must say that upon first hearing
8 Nylon
110 Greene Street of the move from Bryant Park, I was bitter
3.57 miles and insulted that the city would boot us out of

our long-time home! But although I seem like
B/D from Broadway-Lafayette a philistine, I actually do love Lincoln Center
to Columbus Circle
31 and go to plays and the ballet. And HELLO,
$12.10 the architecture is very Abu Dhabi 1979!!!!

Love it. Basically if Diane von Furstenberg
tells me we're going to do Fashion Week on the
moon, I'll go. I'm her slave!”
